NordVPN pricing via Lazer Telecom
Choose the option that suits your needs. All plans include professional setup advice from our local Algarve team.
Why get NordVPN through Lazer rather than direct? When you add NordVPN through Lazer, our local team helps you set it up correctly on your devices and answers any questions in English, Portuguese or Spanish. You get the same full NordVPN subscription, just with local Algarve support included. And if you’re on a Smart plan, it’s included at no extra cost.
What NordVPN includes — more than just a VPN
NordVPN is a complete online privacy and security suite, used by over 14 million people worldwide. Here’s what comes with every subscription through Lazer Telecom in the Algarve.
Who benefits from NordVPN in the Algarve?
From expats wanting to watch BBC iPlayer to families wanting safer browsing, remote workers securing their connections, and gamers accessing region-locked servers, NordVPN covers more use cases than any other VPN service available in Portugal.
TRAVELLERS USING PUBLIC WI-FI ABROAD
Airport, hotel, and café Wi-Fi is notoriously insecure, and if you travel regularly from the Algarve to the UK, Ireland, or elsewhere, you’re exposed every time you connect. NordVPN encrypts your entire connection on any network, protecting your passwords, banking details, and private data from snoopers. Works automatically on your phone and laptop the moment you connect to public Wi-Fi.
REMOTE WORKERS & DIGITAL NOMADS
Working remotely from the Algarve and connecting to company VPNs, cloud tools, or internal systems? NordVPN secures your connection, hides your activity from ISP monitoring, and lets you access region-locked company resources from anywhere. Essential if you work from cafés, coworking spaces, or while travelling, and a complement to your home broadband setup.
EXPATS WHO WANT GLOBAL STREAMING ACCESS
Access streaming libraries from 100+ countries, not just the 8 covered by the Lazer VPN. Ideal for users who want broader international access on phones and laptops rather than just home-country streaming on a smart TV.
Note that for smart TVs, streaming boxes and set-top boxes that can’t run apps, the Lazer VPN (router-level, no app required) is the better solution. Many customers use NordVPN on their phones and laptops, and the Lazer VPN on their TV.
FAMILIES WANTING SAFER, AD-FREE BROWSING
NordVPN’s Threat Protection blocks intrusive ads and malicious websites on all family devices simultaneously, up to 10 at once. It scans downloaded files for malware, blocks trackers, and prevents access to phishing sites automatically. Creates a safer browsing environment for children across phones, tablets, laptops and PCs, without needing separate parental control software or ad blockers on each device.
PRIVACY-CONSCIOUS INTERNET USERS
This is particularly relevant in Portugal where ISPs are legally permitted to log browsing data. NordVPN prevents this at the connection level, your ISP sees only encrypted traffic, not what you’re doing online.
GAMERS ACCESSING REGION-LOCKED CONTENT
Access game servers in the UK, US, or other regions, play with friends abroad, unlock early game releases not yet available in Portugal, and access region-locked DLC and content. NordVPN’s fast servers minimise lag while keeping your connection encrypted. Threat Protection also blocks DDoS attacks during gaming sessions, keeping your IP hidden from other players.

What is the difference between NordVPN and the Lazer VPN service?
The Lazer VPN works at router level, no app needed, connects like a Wi-Fi network, gives access to streaming from 8 countries, and is perfect for smart TVs. NordVPN is a full privacy and security application installed on each device. It offers 6,300+ servers in 100+ countries, threat protection, malware scanning, ad blocking, and a password manager. Different tools for different needs, many customers use both.
Is NordVPN included with any Lazer internet plans?
Yes. NordVPN is included free in the Smart Control (€44.99/month) and Smart Ultimate (€59.99/month) plans. Both include 1 Gbps fibre internet and Lazer TV. You can also add NordVPN as a standalone service to any Lazer internet plan for €6.99/month.
How many devices can I use NordVPN at the same time?
Up to 10 simultaneous devices per subscription. This covers smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktop computers across iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux. Browser extensions are also available for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.
Does NordVPN work for streaming BBC iPlayer and Netflix US from Portugal?
Yes. Connecting to a UK server gives access to BBC iPlayer, ITVX, and other UK streaming services. Connecting to a US server gives access to the Netflix US library, Hulu, and more. With servers in 100+ countries, NordVPN provides the broadest streaming access available, though some services actively block VPN connections, so results can vary.
What is NordVPN Threat Protection?
Threat Protection is NordVPN’s built-in security layer that works even when you’re not connected to a VPN server. It scans downloaded files for malware before they open, blocks intrusive ads across all websites, stops trackers from following you across the internet, and prevents access to known phishing and malicious websites, automatically and in real time.
Can I get NordVPN through Lazer if I already have a Lazer internet plan?
Yes. NordVPN can be added to any existing Lazer internet plan as a standalone add-on for €6.99/month. Contact the Lazer team by phone (+351 289 396 055) or via the form on this page to add it to your account. If you’re on a Basic or Premium plan, you can also switch to a Smart Control or Smart Ultimate plan to get NordVPN included at no extra cost.
Is NordVPN legal to use in Portugal?
Yes. Using a VPN is completely legal in Portugal and across the European Union. NordVPN is used by millions of people across Europe for privacy, security, and streaming purposes. There are no legal restrictions on VPN usage for personal purposes in Portugal.
Does NordVPN slow down my internet connection?
NordVPN uses NordLynx protocol (based on WireGuard), which is the fastest VPN protocol available and significantly reduces speed loss compared to older VPN technologies. On a fast Lazer fibre connection, most users notice no meaningful difference in everyday browsing, streaming, or video calls. For 4K streaming and gaming, performance remains smooth on standard plans.
Can I use NordVPN on my smart TV?
NordVPN works via an app and is not natively compatible with most smart TVs (Samsung, LG, Sony). For smart TVs and streaming boxes that can’t run apps, the Lazer VPN (router-level, no app required) is the better solution. However, NordVPN can be configured on some routers to cover all devices, contact our team to discuss the best setup for your home.
What is the difference between NordVPN and a free VPN?
Free VPNs typically have severe limitations: data caps, slow speeds, few server locations, and, critically, many monetise by selling your browsing data to third parties, which is the opposite of privacy. NordVPN is a paid service with a verified no-logs policy, AES-256 encryption, 6,300+ servers, and regular independent security audits. For anything involving banking, streaming, or work data, a free VPN is not a safe option.
