NordVPN takes pride of place among our recommendations for the best VPN on the planet - it has more than 5,000 servers, unblocks pretty much every streaming service going and is an absolute doddle to use on desktop and mobile.

But when you use the finest virtual private networks out there, there's every chance you'll at some point need to contact their customer services or download a support document. Just can't seem to get your VPN working with your PS4? US Netflix playing hard-to-get when abroad? Or maybe you want to cancel your free trial. 

The good news is that on top of all NordVPN's other perks, it's also really easy to get in contact with the service's customer support team with the useful 24/7 live support to fall back on if you're struggling.

If you have questions for NordVPN’s staff or have an issue with the service, contacting support is really easy to do. This step-by-step guide will show you three options for contacting customer support as well as how to find answers to some common questions on your own.

4. Choose email or live chat support

At the very bottom of the support window, you can choose to contact NordVPN directly through either live chat or email. Whichever option you choose, you’ll have to describe the issue or problem you’re facing. If you’re in a hurry, live chat is the better option as support agents usually respond within a couple of minutes. However, if your issue is quite complicated then email support might be the better option and a support agent will likely get back to you within a few hours.
