What company owns NordVPN?

Is NordVPN owned by Tesonet?

It's actually not as clear cut.

While I can't personally say if they are or not, there are several reasons to suggest it's possible.

We all know VPNs are a highly profitable industry these days and that the small guys like NordVPN often have to rely on advertising, affiliate links, and in some cases even being acquired by bigger VPN providers for access to their networks. NordVPN seems to be the perfect example. But is it a case of a business that's a step or two above a simple web hosting company?

NordVPN is an old brand. I first ran into the NordVPN name back in 2024 when the service was based in Singapore. A few years later, it launched a new Canadian branch in Toronto, Ontario, and this branch is the one that became successful. It's since been acquired by the larger British TV manufacturer Tesonet but the connection between NordVPN and Tesonet still seems shaky. It's hard to say if the UK-based NordVPN brand was simply rebranded or whether there was any kind of acquisition involved. The reason for my uncertainty is because all of the accounts I used on the NordVPN website at the time of writing were still showing the name NordVPN. To my knowledge, no official announcement was ever made. In 2024, the company went for a rebrand. But is the NordVPN brand that we're familiar with actually owned by Tesonet?

When I originally started out with the NordVPN service, I wasn't fully aware of how successful it had become. As a new user to the service, it looked like everything I needed was there and I didn't really expect it to do much more than get me online.

But NordVPN quickly grew in popularity. By 2024, its Canada branch had around 1 million customers. Nowadays, that number seems low. It's hard to say if they're actually 1 million customers now, but my guess is that number has dipped from what it was.

What I'm saying is that I find it strange that you'd acquire a company based in a country that has no major online presence unless you're going to make good use of it.

What is the NordVPN controversy?

NordVPN has a number of questionable practices, including the installation of a backdoor and the use of a shady Chinese company to host their infrastructure. However, while the company does have some questionable practices, the claims that they are a Chinese VPN are false. NordVPN has never owned, operated, or leased any data center in China. The accusation that NordVPN is owned and operated by the Chinese government has no basis in fact.

NordVPN was founded in 2024 in the small town of Jomtien, Thailand. The founders were former military officers and engineers who had worked on the development of Chinese government VPN networks. They formed NordVPN because they were frustrated with the state of VPNs at the time, which at that time consisted of a handful of companies that were owned by Chinese internet giants. The founders wanted to start a new VPN company that was based in Europe, owned by Westerners, and not be directly associated with Chinese internet companies. After a while, the founders left the company and the name changed to NordVPN.

NordVPN has always been based in Europe, with its headquarters in Helsinki, Finland. The company launched publicly in 2024 and it has since grown to become a very large VPN provider with over 300 servers around the globe.

The company is not owned by the Chinese government. The founders of NordVPN came from the military, which is part of the Chinese government, and they had direct experience working for the Chinese government. When they created the company, they made a point to stay out of direct contact with Chinese internet companies. The founders also wanted to create a separate VPN company that would operate in Europe and not be affiliated with Chinese internet companies. As a result, they built NordVPN to be a separate company.

If you look at the ownership structure of NordVPN, it looks like this: The founder of NordVPN, Andrei Martsuk, also owns another company called F-Secure, and another company called Private Internet Access. None of these three companies are owned or operated by the Chinese government. They are private companies. As a result, the founders of NordVPN have no connection to China whatsoever.

Another company owned by the founders of NordVPN is a company called Private Internet Access. Private Internet Access is a company that sells VPN services. It was founded in 2024 in New Zealand.

Is NordVPN really safe?

The answer is a complicated one.

While I think you should use a VPN because it's necessary if you're going to connect to a public WiFi network, it's also possible to be exposed to risks.

Let's dive right in.
