I started using NordVPN last October, and ever since then, other devices on my network (never connected to the VPN) have had issues connecting to certain websites.
For example, I can’t open Paramount plus (let alone log in, literally just gives a white error screen immediately when I open the website/app) on my TV or other PCs. I can only access it using the VPN.
When my wife tries to access websites like Target, Nordstrom Rack and GAP, say that page cannot be found, cannot be accessed, or is not secure.
Has anyone else ran into these issues? Could it be something else? Is there a way to fix it? It happens on phones, laptops, and TV.
Unless you used the VPN on router itself so that all devices on the network were affected this has nothing to do with the VPN. If those devices didn’t connect to the VPN via NordVPN, there isn’t a way for the service to affect them.
That aside, you can try clearing cache of your browser or reinstalling the apps that are working incorrectly as a first step of troubleshooting.
I use NordVPN only on the PC I use for work at home but run into similar issues where everyday sites like Amazon Ebay Yahoo are blocked. My work websites are also blocked. I don’t know if there is a conflict between the Threat Protection and my Anti-Virus suite so I’m making adjustments to eliminate the possibility but the NordVPN support team is useless. I have contacted them several times and it’s the same “run diagnostics” send us the result, uninstall/re-install blah blah, which I have had to do more than once. They should be able to remote in and fix the f**n thing they are charging me for, I should not have to do shit as a paying customer, let alone do research and follow their troubleshooting steps. This is not a “free trial” version I even paid extra for a dedicated IP address. It’s extremely annoying how they advertise if the VPN is down for a milisecond you are at risk, yet I have VPN connection issues ALMOST DAILY. It’s to the point I disconnected and I have no internet issues without it and I’m almost about to cancel.
Any ideas or suggestions?
