Kodi (formally known as XBMC) is a popular open-source media player application. For those interested in getting the most out of their Kodi device, NordVPN can be an excellent tool for getting access to more streaming options.

• ● Installing NordVPN on Kodi starts with ensuring that OpenVPN is installed and accessible for your Kodi device’s command-line interface.

• ● Once OpenVPN is installed, download the NordVPN add-on file from nord.app/kodi and attach it to Kodi. If you have Kodi installed on a stand-alone device, use a USB drive to import the NordVPN add-on file.

• ● From the Kodi interface, go to Settings > System Settings > Add-ons. Turn the Unknown Sources button to ON to allow NordVPN to be added to your device.

• ● Return to the Kodi Home screen and click the Add-ons button. From the Add-ons menu, select the Package button and install NordVPN from the add-on file you previously imported

• ● After NordVPN is successfully installed on Kodi, you’ll be asked to run a setup wizard. This will connect your NordVPN account to the new application installed on your Kodi device.

Finally, allow NordVPN to connect automatically upon device startup in the application settings. This will ensure that your Kodi device is always secured when connected to the internet.

NordVPN doesn’t offer a free version, but they do provide a free 30-day trial of their paid service plans from time-to-time:

To see if NordVPN is currently offering a free 30-day trial offer, simply type “NordVPN free trial” into your favorite search engine. At the time of writing, this method provided a “Try NordVPN Free for 30 Days” offer as a top result on the Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo search engines.

While there are several websites on the internet claiming to offer free NordVPN service plans, beware of scammers. If a website looks sketchy or unofficial, don’t trust it. When looking for a free NordVPN trial, the only website known to offer legitimate and free trials of the service is the official NordVPN.com website.

It may be tempting to use a free virtual private network service instead of NordVPN, but this probably isn’t a good idea. Many free VPN services are incredibly insecure when compared to NordVPN and its other paid competitors.

Remember this timeless advice: If the service is free, then you’re the product. 100% free VPNs have been known to sell sensitive user data to untrustworthy third parties, which could put your security at risk and cost you a lot of money.

Unlike many other major VPN providers, NordVPN only offers one service plan, which is available at many different price points and always includes all features NordVPN is known for.

The price of NordVPN largely depends on the length of your subscription plan. If you know you’re going to use a VPN for years to come, long-term plans offer the best value. If you pay monthly, the price of NordVPN is $11.95 per month.

While a monthly plan might sound like a good deal, we don’t suggest purchasing this option. NordVPN offers 30-day free trials regularly, providing the best opportunity to try it out before committing to a service plan.

For a 12-month service plan, the price is $6.99 per month, which provides significant savings when compared to the one-month option. By far, the best deal on NordVPN is the 36-month service plan. At only $2.99 per month, users can enjoy secure browsing each month for less than a cup of coffee.

If for whatever reason you decide that you’re not happy with NordVPN, you can take advantage of the 30-day money-back guarantee and request a full refund—no questions asked. Best of all, NordVPN isn’t like its competitors when it comes to confusing introductory pricing schemes.
