NordVPN has one of the largest server networks of all VPN providers with 5129 server in 60 countries. That server count is second only to Private Internet Access'. But, with PIA you can't pick which exact server to use. So, score one for NordVPN there.
The geographical diversity offered by NordVPN is also top notch. Unless you're trying to connect to a small island country in the middle of the ocean, NordVPN will have you covered. If you are trying to connect to said island, instead try PureVPN with their 131 countries.
The tables below breaks down the most up to date list of NordVPN servers by continent, country, city (where known), and server count. They are sortable by most of the columns to make finding information easier.
Besides regular servers, NordVPN also offers server types for specific purposes. These include Dedicated IP, Double VPN, Onion Over VPN, and, of course, P2P servers. All the special server types any given country supports are listed in that country's table row.
Also, please note that the total server count for each country is the sum of all servers, regular and special purpose, across all cities.
And if at any point you're curious about how fast some of these servers are, don't forget to take a look at my NordVPN speed tests.

I Tim, I really have found lots of help from your articles — you are the best! My question: how do I get Office 365 to recognize VPN? I use NordVPN.
Hi Weldon. Thank you! I’m very happy to hear you’re finding the site useful 🙂 You don’t need to do anything special to get Office 365 to recognize NordVPN. Just connect to Nord, fire up Office, and all traffic will automatically be tunnelled through the VPN. If there’s a specific case where you’re having issues, let me know. I’ll be happy to help.
Hi tem you are awesome for your answer I tried everything to get the city on NordVPN but I can’t find it, could you please tell me a vpn service other than NordVPN and ExpressVPN to provide me a service with city options please.
Hi Tim. Is it possible to get access to content from Colombia with Nord VPN? I don’t see any server form there. But wanted to know for sure if there is any possibility.
Hi David. No, NordVPN does not currently have any servers in Colombia. Your best bet might be CyberGhost, which runs 4 servers there. ExpressVPN, HideMyAss! and PureVPN also have a single server in Colombia each.
Hi Perry. Yes, I believe US servers 1130 through 1141 are in New York, plus any other ones that would be shown as the same distance from your location.
How lame that you can’t/won’t list the cities in which you operate servers. For that reason alone I will never use your service. I must connect to specific locations.
Hi Millard. I agree it would be nice for NordVPN to list the cities in which they run servers. I’m not sure why they don’t. Pretty much every other VPN service I can think of does.
That said, in practice, I found knowing which city you connect to doesn’t matter than much. At least for how I use VPNs, as long as I’m connecting to the right country and to a server that’s as close to me as possible (and distance is a metric NordVPN does supply), I’m good. But, I completely understand that some people would want to know the actual city name.
Well for me and my current VPN provider I know if I connect to my closest server location my throughput is half that of a larger city server farther away. So knowing my location connection city location in this instance is critical. Yes one could say my VPN provider has a problem then, but it is my current situation and why Nord won’t work for me. I’ll try another suggested provider instead.
C/O Tim Tremblay: Tim, I presently reside in Indonesia and my NordVPN is being detected/and access denied by ‘Acorn TV’ (to which I am a subscriber). I am not a computer savy person, but have been told that ‘acorn tv’ is only accessible through NordVPN servers: US 605-608. What is the easiest way to connect to one of these servers from Indonesia? I realize this question is well below your pay grade, but I long to again have access to ‘Acorn tv’. Thank you for your assistance Tim!
Hi Bob. If you’re on a Mac, click on the menu icon (top left of your NordVPN client) and then on the Server List menu item. Once the list of servers is visible on screen, which is sorted by country first and by server number second, simply scroll down until you see one of your servers. You may need to scroll for a bit as NordVPN has a lot of servers 🙂
If you’re on a PC, click on the Countries button in the top left of your NordVPN client. Once you see the list of countries, scroll down to the United States and hover your mouse over it. To the right you’ll see a button with three horizontal lines. Click it to bring up a list of all US servers, then scroll down until you find your server numbers.
I would also suggest you favorite your servers by clicking the heart icon next to them. You’ll then be able to access them much quicker through the Favorite Servers menu item on a Mac and My Favorites menu item (a submenu of Countries) on a PC. Hope this helps!
When I first started using Nord VPN, some months ago, there was a list of server type to choose from. P2P, double VPN, obfuscated etc. To try things out I selected obfuscated, which seemed to function ok. I now find that I no longer have a list available to choose from, the only choice is obfuscated. Any suggestions on how to rectify this.
Hi Wally. At some point over the last few months, the NordVPN client interface has changed a bit. As you’re experiencing, the server list now shows either obfuscated servers or other server types, but not a mix of both. I’m assuming this change was done so that people who need to use obfuscated servers don’t accidentally connect to one which isn’t.
If you go into your NordVPN client’s advanced settings, you should see a toggle or checkbox called “Obfuscated Servers.” Turning it off will take you out of obfuscated mode, and the server list should once again show all the P2P, Dedicated IP, Double VPN and Onion Over VPN servers.
Hi Milan. Thank you, I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the article.
Unfortunately NordVPN does not list the cities in which it operates servers, at least not that I have been able to find (and believe me, I tried). They only allow you to pick servers based on the purpose (ex: P2P, obfuscated), load, country and distance to your current location. Short of actually connecting and using a website like https://mylocation.org/ to see where you have connected to, there is no way to get the cities.

Hi Adel. Thank you. I’m glad to be of service 🙂 Give CyberGhost a try. They give you a city option (not to mention are a great VPN provider).

Hi Pradeip. Both PureVPN and ExpressVPN have servers in the Philippines.

Great article Tim .
How can find out what cities Nord VPN has their servers in the US ?
For instance, do they have on any in Nevada ? Las Vegas ?
