NordVPN rebrands security suite, expands VPN to 212+ locations
What happened
Between the May 25, 2026 and Jun 1, 2026 captures of NordVPN's pricing page, Pulse recorded 3 changes: Threat Protection renamed to Scam and phishing protection in Basic tier row; Threat Protection Pro renamed to Next-generation antivirus in Plus/Complete/Prime tier rows of the comparison table; Identity theft protection product rebranded from NordProtect to Coveron. Partner product link now points to coveron.com instead of nordprotect.com. Applicable to Prime plan; VPN server network expanded from 194+ to 212+ locations, as displayed in the 'More than a VPN' marketing section. Pulse files it as a packaging change (positioning, limit increase) with an upward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 26, 2026) lists Basic at $3.09, Complete at $3.99 and Prime at $6.99.
It lands 5 days after NordVPN's previous change, "NordVPN rebrands pitch as 'More than a VPN,' updates tax language" (May 27, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "NordVPN drops $1M/$100K insurance specifics from Prime plan card" (May 5, 2026), "NordVPN reveals $1M identity theft coverage in Prime plan update" (Apr 27, 2026) and "NordVPN consolidates Dark Web Monitor tiers, simplifies feature labels" (Apr 24, 2026).
