- The city list disappeared from auto-connect options. We’ve checked – nothing paranormal here. The cities are back.
- Out of a sudden, the connection spinner started spinning backwards. Maybe we should have called ghostbusters after all.


NordVPN - Fast & Secure VPN 8.12.2
- A red bubble will appear on the Dark Web Monitor icon in the sidebar if there are new or unresolved leaks. Take it from feline wisdom: always chase the red dot.
- To enjoy the fastest VPN experience, we always recommend using Quick Connect. It’s our smart solution that matches you with the best server. Don’t care about the location? Click the “Quick Connect” button. Need a specific location? Click on the country or the city, and we’ll connect you to the fastest VPN server there. We’re no longer listing servers in each location, but you can still access them through “Search” if you really need to.

- We’ve added a new setting that will let you keep your device invisible on the local network when connected to a VPN.

- The Meshnet feature is now free for everyone

App navigation:

NordVPN - Fast & Secure VPN 7.14.1

NordVPN - Fast & Secure VPN 7.13.0
- As the holidays quickly approach, we’ve been working on our app’s naughty-or-nice score. A bunch of mischievous bugs have been dispatched with a mission of no return.
- This is the last update available for devices running macOS Sierra 10.12, macOS High Sierra 10.13, and macOS Mojave 10.14 because we’re dropping support for these versions. This doesn’t affect subscriptions in any way – you will still be able to use NordVPN on these versions. To receive further NordVPN app updates, your device must run macOS Catalina 10.15 or a later version.

Meshnet is great for accessing and sharing files, playing multiplayer games, or getting some work done on shared projects!
- Fixed: It wasn’t your eyes deceiving you – recent server locations were duplicating when you repeatedly connected to the same location. Not anymore.
- Passwords aren’t supposed to last a lifetime. We might ask you to upgrade your password once in a while to help keep your account safe. It’s just now we’ll do so in a less persistent way.


NordVPN 7.7.3

- Hello 2022, we are shipping one more fix for random app crashes, as the recent update didn’t cover all cases as we expected. Our engineers are doing everything they can to bring back stability to our app. Should we also start manifesting? *Thinking*


NordVPN 7.1.1
- Old year - old bugs. Let’s start the new one with a new update to make sure your NordVPN app won’t be crashing at random anymore


NordVPN 7.1.0
- Fancy a new challenge? We have one for you! You won’t need to dance, prank your friends, or show who's living in your house rent-free. You’ll need to secure yourself online instead – connect to VPN every day to build your protection streak. The more consecutive days you connect to VPN, the longer your streak is. It comes with a nice side-effect: a rewarding feeling of pride for making your life more cyber-safe day by day.
- Track your protection streak in Statistics – the brand new section in the app. Here you can also check your longest VPN connection and see a weekly graph of your protection progress.
- We improved the left sidebar by adding handy shortcuts to Presets, Statistics, and Preferences. All for more convenient navigation.
- To count your protection statistics properly, we needed the Recents list to be at its top accuracy. So now it updates automatically only

NordVPN 6.8.2

- Konnichiwa! The NordVPN app now speaks Japanese
- A few fixes and improvements to elevate your VPN experience even higher


NordVPN 6.6.1
- We’re happy to announce that NordVPN now runs natively on M1 Macs! Flex the performance boost of Apple's powerful silicon chip while securing yourself online with the fastest VPN on the planet. Woah, now that’s one speedy combination. And just to clarify – the app continues to run at its best on Intel-based Macs. No matter the chip, we got you covered.


NordVPN 6.5.0
- New: Multi-factor authentication (MFA). It adds only a few seconds to your day but makes a huge difference to your account’s security. Set up MFA and use an authenticator app to verify that it’s really you logging in to your Nord Account.
- A bunch of minor fixes and improvements for a better, smoother NordVPN experience. Such as dialog boxes that stay where they’re supposed to be and an expanded app preview for users who don’t have a subscription yet.


NordVPN 6.4.2
- Advanced Kill Switch is now available on OpenVPN too, in addition to NordLynx. A quick reminder of what it does: it brings an additional security layer for protection against rare and very specific IP leaks.
- A bunch of minor improvements, which add up to that bigger picture of smooth NordVPN experience


NordVPN 6.3.0
- From time to time, we have some interesting stuff to share with you. However, the app was missing a line of communication and behaving in a completely reserved manner (blame our silent Nordic personality, we suppose?). Now it’s time to break the ice: product updates and hand-picked security tips will reach you via in-app messages.
- As we were in a mood for spring cleaning, we got rid of a few bugs – no sweeping under the rug, actually kicking them out – and made a few tweaks. All to make the NordVPN app run smoother and be a joy to use.


NordVPN 6.2.0
- Our Spanish translations were having a little siesta. So we did some fiesta to improve the experience for those of you who use NordVPN in Spanish
- When you launch the app, the map will be in the same position as you left it. Must be improved memory or less of an adventurous spirit.
- A few tweaks under the hood to smoothen things out


NordVPN 6.1.3
- Change log not available for this version


NordVPN 6.1.2
- The NordVPN app for macOS now has the new login flow via Nord Account – home for all your Nord services. You don’t need to do anything about it, as your current account details are automatically transferred to Nord Account. From now, we’ll simply take you to your browser to log in and then bring you back to the app. Smooth.
- There’s at least one thing to be certain about – ain’t no update without bug fixes. And this one is not an exception, regardless of the times.

- We’re excited to introduce Presets! Presets combine custom VPN connection settings with shortcuts to apps or websites. You’ll find them super handy if you use VPN differently for different services – news, entertainment, downloads, you name it. Choose a protocol, a server country, add website links or apps, and your Preset is ready! Basically, Presets are like secure shortcuts – you set them up once and enjoy safe one-click access from the NordVPN app anytime.

- Morning or night, on OpenVPN (new!) or NordLynx – you can snooze VPN anytime. Shortly pause VPN protection instead of disconnecting and return to online safety automatically when the snoozing time runs out.


NordVPN 5.8.1
- Just in time for the back-to-school vibes, our app picked up a new skill: Bonjour! Hallo! ¡Hola! Yes, it’s going multilingual. So depending on your system settings, the app will speak to you in French, German, Spanish, or English.
- Pause VPN protection for 5 minutes, 30 minutes, or 1 hour and get connected again automatically. It’s like hitting “snooze” – only instead of a few more moments of precious sleep, you temporarily disable your VPN connection. Only on NordLynx for now.
- A few bug fixes before we go go


NordVPN 5.7.0
- Not so long ago, we revamped our Preferences section. This time, we sent it for a grooming session to make sure all layouts are on course, sharp edges are smoothened, and no one’s hiding in details.
- A few minor bugs minimized to the level of non-existence
