I guess you would need a lot of proxies. And they probably need to be on Googles good side to keep their VPN extension in Chrome

I wonder if they’re using the (paid) Google and Brave APIs, and are running Leta as a loss leader, or if they have some way to get around it

Yeah, I don’t blame Nord themselves for the breach, but not notifying users was bad

They’ve done other things, but the reason I don’t use Nord is that they had a breach where an attacker had physical access to one of their servers, and they tried to sweep it under the rug rather than notify users.
