What problems is NordLayer solving and how is that benefiting you? This has allowed me, during the time I enjoyed the service, to bypass all the restrictions I had regarding those applications that only opened to certain IPs that were registered as frequent or those that only did so from home. Since it offers a similarity of providing the user with access to any application or website in a more objective way, so that they don't have to wait to reach a specific site to do so, but rather I do it directly in a centralized way and with the full knowledge that I will do it safely.

I researched several VPN apps and many of them caused my system to slow down considerably thereby hindering my work. NordVPN shows little to no slow-down when using and doesn't affect my creative software at all.
