Should I use obfuscated servers on NordVPN?

If you're a privacy-conscious user looking for a secure VPN connection, you may be wondering: ?

This article covers the pros and cons of using obfuscated servers, as well as whether you should switch from your regular VPN server to one with more obfuscation features. The Pros and Cons of Obfuscated Servers on NordVPN. Let's start off by looking at the pros and cons of using an obfuscated server on NordVPN. Pros of Obfuscated Servers. Obfuscated servers are not just for privacy-conscious users. There are also a number of benefits to using an obfuscated VPN server. Let's see what they are.

Increased security and safety. As mentioned above, when you use an obfuscated VPN server, you have a much higher chance of your communications being encrypted, which means that your data is far less likely to be intercepted. The reason for this is because each VPN server has a unique ID which is used to hide your IP address. This means that the server can't detect that you're connecting to it because it's using a different IP address. Because the server will use a different address, it won't recognize that you're actually connected to its server. This means that your data will have a much higher chance of being safe and secure when it's transmitted across the internet.

Increased performance. Since the server will only have a single IP address, it won't slow down your internet connection as it will usually use a separate internet connection. This means that you can expect higher speeds and fewer errors when you're on a VPN server with obfuscated servers.

Increased privacy. Since the server will have a different IP address than you're connected to, it will also be harder for the server to link your activity to your identity. It will be able to determine whether you're logging in or out but it will be unable to identify who you are. This means that you can expect a greater level of privacy and anonymity.

However, there are some downsides to using obfuscated servers. Let's take a look at what they are.

Is obfuscated VPN slower?

My VPN has recently had a change to its service which in some people's eyes, is good as they say "less bandwidth used".

The new obfuscated VPN seems faster than the clear version and I've had no major speed issues so far. That being said, will the obfuscated VPN always be slower because it does not have access to your real IP address (as the clear version has)?

It depends on what you want. This is my understanding of the situation: If you use an obfuscated VPN, you probably won't get the full benefits that you'd get by using a clear version. You do still get the same ability to "tunnel" through the web as you would with a clear VPN, but you may not have the benefits of being able to perform things like DNS-over-https or other things where your data goes through the "normal" web path but your "tunnel" isn't part of that path. If, however, you're running a server or desktop machine that requires a lot of bandwidth and you don't mind losing those speed benefits, then you might consider obfuscating your VPN. But if you're just a user on a consumer machine, then not obfuscating a VPN is probably the way to go.
