Verdict

Lookalike site posing as the official NordVPN download page

it.nordvpnt.com.cn calls itself NordVPN's "official website" and offers a Windows client download with "Get NordVPN" buttons. The address differs from NordVPN's own site by one added letter and uses a Chinese .com.cn ending, and the page names no operator. NordVPN itself says it has no servers in China and that users cannot connect from China, so a Chinese-domain "official" download portal is hard to explain. Security scanners found nothing, but impersonating a brand to hand out software is a serious risk. That is why the score is in the High Risk range.

Do not download software from this site. Get NordVPN only from nordvpn.com or the official app stores.

Investigation Brief

it.nordvpnt.com.cn calls itself NordVPN's "official website" and offers a Windows client download with "Get NordVPN" buttons. The address differs from NordVPN's own site by one added letter and uses a Chinese .com.cn ending, and the page names no operator. NordVPN itself says it has no servers in China and that users cannot connect from China, so a Chinese-domain "official" download portal is hard to explain. Security scanners found nothing, but impersonating a brand to hand out software is a serious risk. That is why the score is in the High Risk range.

Brand impersonation evidence

The page title calls the site NordVPN's official website and offers a guide to downloading, installing and using the Windows client, all on the host it.nordvpnt.com.cn. That address is not NordVPN's own nordvpn.com domain.

NordVPN's own website says it has no servers in China, and its support pages say you cannot connect to NordVPN from China. Both points argue against this being a real NordVPN channel.

Clean scans versus unknown operator

None of 93 security engines flagged the site, the browser threat feed showed no warning, and the connection is properly encrypted. These results mean nothing has been detected yet. They do not show that any download from the site is genuine.

No contact email or operator details were found on the page. If a download turns out to be modified or harmful, visitors would have no one to hold responsible.

Why the score is 28

获取 NordVPN. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Proceed with caution

Our automated review flagged enough risk that you should treat this site as unverified.

  1. Analyst recommendation

    Do not download software from this site. Get NordVPN only from nordvpn.com or the official app stores.

  2. Treat it.nordvpnt.com.cn as unverified

    Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.

  3. Verify the business through independent channels

    Check the company's social profiles, registry records, and search for recent news or reviews that are not hosted on the site itself.

  4. Never use irreversible payment methods

    Crypto, gift cards, wire transfers, and cash apps offer zero buyer protection. Use a credit card or PayPal if you must pay.

  5. Share your experience

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is it.nordvpnt.com.cn a scam or a legit website?
it.nordvpnt.com.cn shows strong warning signs of being a phishing site — do not enter your login or personal details. Our review tagged it for clone site and phishing. It may not be an outright scam, but the risk is high enough that you should verify it independently before trusting it with money or data.
Is it.nordvpnt.com.cn safe to use?
it.nordvpnt.com.cn has a Safety Score of 28/100 (High Risk). Analysis coverage is complete at 100%. Avoid login, payment and downloads.
What should I do if I already gave my details to it.nordvpnt.com.cn?
If you've already paid or handed over details on it.nordvpnt.com.cn, act quickly. 1) Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and ask to dispute the charge or open a chargeback — the sooner you act, the better your odds. 2) Report the site to the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov, and in the UK to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. 3) If you entered a password, change it on it.nordvpnt.com.cn and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. 4) Watch your bank and email for follow-up fraud, and keep screenshots as evidence.
Can I get my money back from it.nordvpnt.com.cn?
Often yes, if you act fast. Payments made by credit or debit card can frequently be reversed through a chargeback or dispute — contact your bank right away and explain it was a fraudulent site. Bank transfers and gift-card or voucher payments are much harder to recover, but you should still report them to your bank and to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk). Avoid any "refund" or "recovery" service that contacts you first — it's usually a follow-up scam.
Did it.nordvpnt.com.cn steal my password or personal information?
If you entered anything on it.nordvpnt.com.cn, assume it was captured. Phishing pages exist purely to harvest what you type — usernames, passwords, card numbers, or one-time codes. Change the password immediately on the real site and anywhere you reused it, enable two-factor authentication, and if you entered card or banking details, contact your bank about the risk of fraud. Also be alert for follow-up "security" calls or emails that try to exploit the same information.
How do I report it.nordvpnt.com.cn?
You can report it.nordvpnt.com.cn through several official channels: the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov, and — in the UK — Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. You can also flag it to Google Safe Browsing (safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish) so other browsers warn about it, and report it to the company being impersonated if there is one. Reporting helps get scam sites taken down faster.
Why does it.nordvpnt.com.cn look legitimate if it's a scam?
Modern scams are built to look convincing. A valid SSL padlock, a polished template, stock photos, fake reviews, and a trust badge can all be added in minutes and prove nothing about who runs the site. Scammers buy cheap domains, clone real designs, and copy legal pages wholesale. That's exactly why an automated review that checks the domain's age, hosting, blacklists, and behaviour — rather than just how the page looks — is more reliable than a first impression.
Has it.nordvpnt.com.cn been flagged by antivirus engines?
No — all 57 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network that rated it report it.nordvpnt.com.cn as clean. 36 other engines had no rating for it. That's a good sign, though antivirus coverage is only one of the many signals we weigh, and brand-new scam sites can appear clean before vendors catch up.
Is it.nordvpnt.com.cn on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — it.nordvpnt.com.cn is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
Does it.nordvpnt.com.cn have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — it.nordvpnt.com.cn presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, valid for another 50 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".
Where is it.nordvpnt.com.cn hosted?
it.nordvpnt.com.cn resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
How often is the it.nordvpnt.com.cn report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on October 17, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about it.nordvpnt.com.cn has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.

The address differs from NordVPN's own site by one added letter and uses a Chinese .com.cn ending, and the page names no operator. NordVPN itself says it has no servers in China and that users cannot connect from China, so a Chinese-domain "official" download portal is hard to explain. Security scanners found nothing, but impersonating a brand to hand out software is a serious risk. That is why the score is in the High Risk range.
