It's kind of a default. They have a lot of servers, the speed is pretty good (although I don't use it for downloading things like some people do -- just browsing), multiple clients/plugins, and their privacy policy has not been contradicted that I could find. They are straight forward about what they know about you and to whom they will hand it over (basically on a court order), but they keep as little information as possible.
That is why I was asking if someone could suggest a feature-comparable service that had a better privacy policy. People poo poo Nord's privacy -- basically saying it's a honeypot, but the only better suggestions I've heard involve more work. So it kind of depends on from whom you are hiding. More work may be warranted on your end. Nord seems like a fine commercial VPN to me.
