How to install:

First download the .apk-file. NoScript will block it temporarily, if you are using this plugin in your browser.

Note: The app is also available for download via Google Play, but if you wish to stay anonymous, I do not recommend it.

NordVPN requires an email address to set up an account. This is used only for account creation and any direct communication or customer service requirements. So register a free dummy e-mail address.

"Warrant Canary".

Basically it says:

NordVPN is based in Panama, "where data retention is not required and gag orders are not legally possible", but that it “will only comply with requests from foreign governments and law enforcement agencies if these requests are delivered according to laws and regulations.” It adds that it will “never log their activity unless ordered by a court in an appropriate, legal way.”
