Unlike a standalone video game or photo editing software, a VPN is a service-based product. Even if you modify the software on your PC, you still need to connect to NordVPN’s physical servers.

The primary purpose of a VPN is privacy. However, a cracked version is controlled by a third party. They can log your browsing history, steal your passwords, and intercept your banking details.

: NordVPN offers Meshnet for free , which allows you to create your own secure, private network between devices without a paid subscription.
