It takes three minutes to set up, runs silently in the background, and costs less than a coffee per month on a 2-year plan. For a solo professional handling client data, login credentials, and business communications on the move, the risk of not using a VPN is disproportionate to the cost of using one.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin: 0; padding-left: 20px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.8;\">\n<li><strong>Best for:<\/strong> Remote workers, digital nomads, and small business owners who regularly use public WiFi<\/li>\n<li><strong>Free trial:<\/strong> 7-day trial via Google Play Store \u2014 30-day money-back guarantee on all plans<\/li>\n<li><strong>Starting price:<\/strong> From \u20ac3.49\/month (Basic, 2-year plan)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Standout benefit:<\/strong> Encrypts your internet connection on public WiFi \u2014 protects client data and business credentials<\/li>\n<li><strong>Main limitation:<\/strong> Renewal prices are significantly higher than introductory rates \u2014 plan accordingly<\/li>\n<li><strong>Verdict:<\/strong> The most recognisable and reliable VPN for small business owners at an affordable long-term price<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">If you run <strong>a service-based business and you work from anywhere other than a fixed private office network<\/strong> \u2014 a cafe in Pescara, a hotel in Barcelona, a coworking space in Amsterdam \u2014 you are regularly connecting your business to networks you do not control and cannot verify.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">On those networks, your login credentials, client communications, invoicing data, and business files <strong>could be intercepted by anyone on the same network<\/strong> with the right tools.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">Most independent professionals are aware that this risk exists.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">Most do nothing about it, because setting up proper network security sounds technical and expensive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><em>NordVPN<\/em> removes both of those barriers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">It takes three minutes to install, runs silently in the background, and costs less than a cup of coffee per month on a 2-year plan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>I use it whenever I am working from a network I do not personally manage<\/strong> \u2014 which, as someone who works remotely from Abruzzo (Italy) and travels periodically across Europe, happens regularly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">This is <strong>my honest review of what it does and why I recommend it<\/strong> to every independent professional who works on the move.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">What is NordVPN?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>NordVPN is one of the most widely used commercial VPN<\/strong> (Virtual Private Network) services in the world, with over 7,200 servers across 118 countries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">A VPN does one core job: <strong>it encrypts your internet connection and routes it through a secure server<\/strong>, so that anyone intercepting your traffic on a public network sees only encrypted data \u2014 not your login credentials, your client emails, your payment details, or any other business-sensitive information.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">For a non-technical professional, the practical experience is simple: you open the NordVPN app, click <em>Connect<\/em>, and your connection is encrypted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">Everything else works exactly as it did before \u2014 same speed (approximately), same websites, same apps \u2014 with the difference that <strong>your data is protected<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">NordVPN offers 7,200+ servers spread across 137 countries worldwide, supports 10 simultaneous device connections, and includes features like Threat Protection Pro, multi-hop routing, and a kill switch that cuts your internet connection if the VPN drops unexpectedly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Why a VPN matters specifically for small business owners<\/h2>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">I want to be specific about the threat model here, because &#8220;use a VPN&#8221; is generic advice that often gets dismissed without understanding what it actually protects against.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>The public WiFi attack surface<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">When you connect to a public WiFi network \u2014 a cafe, a hotel, a coworking space, an airport \u2014 you are on a shared network with everyone else in that space.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">A malicious actor on the same network can use tools that are freely available to intercept unencrypted traffic from other devices on the network.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">This is called <strong>a man-in-the-middle attack<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">In practice, it means: if you log into your WordPress dashboard, your hosting account, your email, your client&#8217;s CRM, or any other business tool over an unencrypted connection on a public network, <strong>your credentials can be captured and used without your knowledge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">Most modern websites use HTTPS, which provides a layer of encryption.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">But HTTPS is not infallible \u2014 older sites, misconfigured sites, and certain types of network attacks can still expose data even on HTTPS connections.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">A VPN <strong>adds a second encryption layer<\/strong> that covers these gaps.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>Client data responsibility<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">If you are a coach, consultant, therapist, or service provider who handles any client information \u2014 contact details, session notes, business documents, payment information \u2014 <strong>you have an implicit professional responsibility to protect that data<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">A data incident caused by working over an unsecured public connection is not just a personal problem.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">It is a professional one, <strong>with potential legal implications under GDPR for European professionals<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">For Italian and European service providers, GDPR compliance requires taking &#8220;appropriate technical measures&#8221; to protect personal data.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">Using a VPN when processing client information outside a secure private network is exactly the kind of measure GDPR expects.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>Protecting your business credentials specifically<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">The highest-value target for a network attack on a solo professional is not your personal data \u2014 it is your business login credentials.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">Your WordPress admin password, your hosting account, your email, your invoicing system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">A single compromised credential <strong>can result in your website being taken down, your client data being accessed, or your business email being used for fraud<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">A VPN eliminates the most common vector for this kind of attack when working on the move.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">How NordVPN actually works in practice<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>Setup<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">Download the NordVPN app for your device (available for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and Linux), log in with your account credentials, and click <em>Connect<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">The entire setup process takes under five minutes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>There is no technical configuration required<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>Daily use<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">On a 2-year plan, NordVPN costs approximately \u20ac3.49\/month \u2014 the equivalent of leaving it running continuously as a background process with negligible cost.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">I connect automatically <strong>when I open my laptop in any location other than my home network<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">On mobile, I have it set to connect automatically when I join any unfamiliar WiFi network.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>The speed impact is minimal on modern NordVPN servers<\/strong> using the NordLynx protocol \u2014 in most real-world usage, you will not notice a difference in page load times or video calls.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>10 device connections<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">All NordVPN plans support up to 10 simultaneous device connections.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">For a solo professional with a laptop, a phone, and a tablet, this covers everything with connections to spare \u2014 or <strong>it covers family members sharing the same subscription<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>Kill switch<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">If the VPN connection drops unexpectedly, <strong>NordVPN&#8217;s kill switch cuts your internet connection entirely until the VPN reconnects<\/strong> \u2014 preventing any unencrypted data from being transmitted during the gap.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">For business use, this automatic protection is important: <strong>it ensures you are never accidentally browsing unprotected, even if the VPN loses connection momentarily<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Dark Web Monitoring<\/h3>\n<p>One of the features that surprises me the most, and that brings a lot of added value, is the Dark web monitoring.<\/p>\n<p>This is the practice of <strong>continuously scanning dark web sites<\/strong> (hacker forums, darknet markets, etc.) for information associated with your email address, phone number, national ID, Social Security number, or credit card information.<\/p>\n<p>It warns users so that they can secure vulnerable accounts as quickly as possible, which means, <strong>as soon as you get a leak warning, you can immediately change the password and security controls of the affected account<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>NordVPN offers dark web monitoring functionality through its <a href=\"https:\/\/nordvpn.com\/features\/dark-web-monitor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Dark Web Monitor\u2122 feature<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">NordVPN plans \u2014 what you actually pay<\/h2>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">NordVPN has three plan tiers \u2014 <em>Basic<\/em>, <em>Complete<\/em>, and <em>Ultimate Max<\/em> \u2014 each available on monthly, 1-year, or 2-year subscriptions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>For most small business owners, Basic is all you need.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">The higher tiers add bundled tools like a password manager (NordPass), encrypted cloud storage (NordLocker), and identity theft protection \u2014 useful extras, but not essential for the core VPN use case.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>Basic plan pricing:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul class=\"[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\">\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Monthly: \u20ac14.99\/month<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">1-year: \u20ac5.49\/month (billed annually)<\/li>\n<li class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">2-year: \u20ac3.49\/month (billed every 2 years)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>One important caveat on renewal:<\/strong> NordVPN significantly raises its price upon renewal after the introductory period \u2014 the heavily discounted introductory rates do not continue at renewal. Budget for the renewal rate before committing to a 2-year plan. The renewal price is typically closer to the 1-year rate, not the introductory 2-year rate. Check your renewal terms at the time of purchase.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>30-day money-back guarantee<\/strong> applies to all plans \u2014 if you try it and it does not meet your needs, you can request a full refund within 30 days. A 7-day free trial is also available through the Google Play Store for Android users who want to test before committing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">NordVPN vs the main alternatives<\/h2>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">The most commonly compared VPN services for small business use are <a class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/www.expressvpn.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">ExpressVPN<\/a>, <a class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/surfshark.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Surfshark<\/a>, and <a class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/protonvpn.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">ProtonVPN<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"overflow-x: auto;

Anyone intercepting your network traffic \u2014 on a public WiFi network, for example \u2014 sees only encrypted data rather than your actual login credentials, emails, or business communications. It is one of the most effective and affordable measures a remote professional can take to protect business data in transit.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>Is NordVPN free?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">NordVPN does not have a permanent free plan. A 7-day free trial is available through the Google Play Store for Android users. All paid plans come with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Plans start from \u20ac3.49\/month on a 2-year subscription.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>Does NordVPN keep logs of your activity?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">NordVPN operates a no-logs policy \u2014 it does not store records of your browsing activity, connection times, or data. This policy has been independently audited by third-party security firms. For business users handling client data, this means NordVPN itself cannot be compelled to produce records of your activity.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>How many devices can I use with one NordVPN subscription?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">All NordVPN plans support up to 10 simultaneous device connections. A single subscription covers your laptop, phone, tablet, and any other devices you use for business.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>Will NordVPN slow down my internet?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">The speed impact is minimal on modern connections using NordVPN&#8217;s NordLynx protocol \u2014 in typical business use (video calls, web browsing, email) you are unlikely to notice a difference. Connections to geographically distant servers may show a slightly larger impact, but connecting to a nearby server (Italy to an Italian or German server, for example) produces negligible speed reduction.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>Is using a VPN legal in Italy and Europe?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">Yes \u2014 VPN use is legal in Italy and across the EU. For European business professionals, using a VPN when handling personal data outside a secure private network is also consistent with GDPR&#8217;s requirement to implement appropriate technical measures to protect personal data.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>Do I need a VPN if I work from home?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">If you work exclusively from a private home network you personally manage and trust, the additional protection of a VPN is less critical. The primary use case for a VPN is protecting data transmission on public or shared networks you do not control \u2014 public WiFi in particular.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-top: 2px solid #e1d8c8; margin-top: 48px; padding-top: 32px; width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 88px; vertical-align: top; padding-top: 32px; padding-right: 20px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 72px; height: 72px; border-radius: 50%; object-fit: cover; border: 3px solid #333333; display: block;\" src=\"https:\/\/srwebmarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SR-Linkedin-profile-picture-2.png\" alt=\"Sergio Stanga \u2014 WordPress Web Designer and SEO Specialist, SR Web Marketing\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"vertical-align: top; padding-top: 32px;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 4px; font-weight: 600; font-size: 15px; color: #333333;\">Sergio Stanga<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 8px; font-size: 13px; color: #585857;\">WordPress Web Designer &amp; SEO Specialist \u00b7 SR Web Marketing<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 10px; font-size: 14px; color: #585857; line-height: 1.6;\">I help independent professionals and SMBs across Italy, Spain, and Europe build WordPress websites that generate long-term organic leads and AI search visibility \u2014 without depending on social media.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><a style=\"font-size: 13px; color: #333333; font-weight: 600; text-decoration: underline; margin-right: 16px;\" href=\"https:\/\/srwebmarketing.com\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">About Sergio<\/a><br \/>\n<a style=\"font-size: 13px; color: #333333; font-weight: 600; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/sergio-stanga-romero\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quick Answer \u2014 NordVPN Review Summary Is NordVPN worth it for independent professionals and small business owners who work remotely? Yes \u2014 if you regularly work from public WiFi networks (cafes, hotels, coworking spaces, airports), NordVPN is one of the simplest and most affordable things you can do to protect your business data and your clients&#8217; information. It takes three minutes to set up, runs silently in the background, and costs less than a coffee per month on a 2-year plan. For a solo professional handling client data, login credentials, and business communications on the move, the risk of not using a VPN is disproportionate to the cost of using one. Best for: Remote workers, digital nomads, and small business owners who regularly use public WiFi Free trial: 7-day trial via Google Play Store \u2014 30-day money-back guarantee on all plans Starting price: From \u20ac3.49\/month (Basic, 2-year plan) Standout benefit: Encrypts your internet connection on public WiFi \u2014 protects client data and business credentials Main limitation: Renewal prices are significantly higher than introductory rates \u2014 plan accordingly Verdict: The most recognisable and reliable VPN for small business owners at an affordable long-term price &nbsp; If you run a service-based business and you work from anywhere other than a fixed private office network \u2014 a cafe in Pescara, a hotel in Barcelona, a coworking space in Amsterdam \u2014 you are regularly connecting your business to networks you do not control and cannot verify. On those networks, your login credentials, client communications, invoicing data, and business files could be intercepted by anyone on the same network with the right tools. Most independent professionals are aware that this risk exists. Most do nothing about it, because setting up proper network security sounds technical and expensive. NordVPN removes both of those barriers. It takes three minutes to install, runs silently in the background, and costs less than a cup of coffee per month on a 2-year plan. I use it whenever I am working from a network I do not personally manage \u2014 which, as someone who works remotely from Abruzzo (Italy) and travels periodically across Europe, happens regularly. This is my honest review of what it does and why I recommend it to every independent professional who works on the move. &nbsp; What is NordVPN? NordVPN is one of the most widely used commercial VPN (Virtual Private Network) services in the world, with over 7,200 servers across 118 countries. A VPN does one core job: it encrypts your internet connection and routes it through a secure server, so that anyone intercepting your traffic on a public network sees only encrypted data \u2014 not your login credentials, your client emails, your payment details, or any other business-sensitive information. For a non-technical professional, the practical experience is simple: you open the NordVPN app, click Connect, and your connection is encrypted. Everything else works exactly as it did before \u2014 same speed (approximately), same websites, same apps \u2014 with the difference that your data is protected. NordVPN offers 7,200+ servers spread across 137 countries worldwide, supports 10 simultaneous device connections, and includes features like Threat Protection Pro, multi-hop routing, and a kill switch that cuts your internet connection if the VPN drops unexpectedly. &nbsp; Why a VPN matters specifically for small business owners I want to be specific about the threat model here, because &#8220;use a VPN&#8221; is generic advice that often gets dismissed without understanding what it actually protects against. &nbsp; The public WiFi attack surface When you connect to a public WiFi network \u2014 a cafe, a hotel, a coworking space, an airport \u2014 you are on a shared network with everyone else in that space. A malicious actor on the same network can use tools that are freely available to intercept unencrypted traffic from other devices on the network. This is called a man-in-the-middle attack. In practice, it means: if you log into your WordPress dashboard, your hosting account, your email, your client&#8217;s CRM, or any other business tool over an unencrypted connection on a public network, your credentials can be captured and used without your knowledge. Most modern websites use HTTPS, which provides a layer of encryption. But HTTPS is not infallible \u2014 older sites, misconfigured sites, and certain types of network attacks can still expose data even on HTTPS connections. A VPN adds a second encryption layer that covers these gaps. &nbsp; Client data responsibility If you are a coach, consultant, therapist, or service provider who handles any client information \u2014 contact details, session notes, business documents, payment information \u2014 you have an implicit professional responsibility to protect that data. A data incident caused by working over an unsecured public connection is not just a personal problem. It is a professional one, with potential legal implications under GDPR for European professionals. For Italian and European service providers, GDPR compliance requires taking &#8220;appropriate technical measures&#8221; to protect personal data. Using a VPN when processing client information outside a secure private network is exactly the kind of measure GDPR expects. &nbsp; Protecting your business credentials specifically The highest-value target for a network attack on a solo professional is not your personal data \u2014 it is your business login credentials. Your WordPress admin password, your hosting account, your email, your invoicing system. A single compromised credential can result in your website being taken down, your client data being accessed, or your business email being used for fraud. A VPN eliminates the most common vector for this kind of attack when working on the move. &nbsp; How NordVPN actually works in practice &nbsp; Setup Download the NordVPN app for your device (available for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and Linux), log in with your account credentials, and click Connect. The entire setup process takes under five minutes. There is no technical configuration required. &nbsp; Daily use On a 2-year plan, NordVPN costs approximately \u20ac3.49\/month \u2014 the equivalent of leaving it running continuously as a background process with negligible cost.
