    Meshnet is going to be discontinued.

    There’s also local share that is free open source that does the same thing as meshnet. It’s been around for some time now and can be installed on most devices.

    And incognito is not going to be linked to nord anymore. You’d have to pay for that service separate. Nord definitely has been going downhill on services to use. I mean it has locker so there’s that but even then… proton does the same thing. Also there’s proton vpn. At least with proton you get an email and calendar and all that jazz too. Not that there is anything wrong with nord just being a vpn. It’s just shitty they did all this bait and switch bullshit. Leaves à sour taste with trust issues.

      If you’re referring to their announcement last year about discontinuing meshnet, they’ve retracted that.

      I know there are alternatives but why would I go to any effort to set them up when i have something that has worked exactly as I want it to for the last 2yrs? The cost of nordvpn is sufficiently low enough that I wouldn’t switch to something just because it’s free.

        You do you. I have trust issues with companies switching their motto every two seconds. I’d rather not be complacent to instability nor discourage anyone who expects some basic standards of consistency where they spend their money.
