Though, in NordVPN's case, their "no-log" policy seems to be skeptical by man users as they keep some sort-of connection logs.

Take every VPN provider's no log policy with a grain of salt.

You never know (and never will know) what happens behind closed doors.

You are right. I have always been taking them with a grain of salt. When it comes to software, it can greatly effect your privacy. You can never have 100% privacy and security. If you are looking for privacy by installing security measures such as third-party software's, then you are taking the risk of trusting these types of software's to control and/or access everything within your PC.

One way or another, some software's can be used as security measures, but it can greatly impact your privacy. Therefore, achieving both at the same time is impossible.

You've made some very valid points.

Further to the discussion on VPNs, for obvious reasons, It's best to use a cracked account. In a nutshell, the objective of privacy and anonymity Is to disassociate every Identifiable detail that can potentially be used to pinpoint who you are, as well as your movements during your online navigation.
