NordVPN Threat Protection offers two versions: Threat Protection and Threat Protection Pro. Threat Protection is a DNS-based tool that blocks ads, trackers, and harmful websites while connected to a NordVPN server, available on multiple devices including Android, iOS, and Linux. Threat Protection Pro is a more advanced version for Windows and macOS, providing protection even without an active VPN connection. Pros of Threat Protection include its bundling with NordVPN, a 30-day money-back guarantee, effective malware site blocking, an ad blocker, and advanced URL trimming. However, the Pro version is limited to Windows and macOS, consumes more system resources, and lacks support for mobile devices. Threat Protection Pro features include web protection, ad blocking, web tracker blocking, file protection, vulnerability detection, and URL trimming. It excels at blocking malicious websites and phishing domains, scanning downloads for malware, and identifying risky applications. Pricing for Threat Protection Pro varies by plan, with the Basic plan not including it, while the Plus and Ultimate plans do. All plans come with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Threat Protection Pro has received favorable reviews for its integration with NordVPN, though some users have reported glitches, particularly on Mac. It is recommended for desktop users seeking additional security without full antivirus software.
