So I’m having problems with this VPN, my internet is fine, i can get on google, youtube, reddit, whatever. But the second i connect my VPN i cant do anything, nothing loads despite me having a steady internet connection. I cant even get microsoft edge to pop up, so now i just feel like im paying for something thats entirely pointless. No matter how close of a server i connect to its the same issue over and over
I figured it out, I had to switch my VPN from nordlynx to OpenVPN
I’m taking this as you can’t browse to any websites. I may be perceiving this wrong and the can’t get edge to come up is a little confusing. If I’m off base just ignore the following.
Go into the settings of the VPN and put in a custom DNS. Try 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1.
I started having issues a couple weeks ago and had to do this to resolve it.
Try this: NordVPN Connectivity
I think I may have found a solution, 8yr long time nord user here gone through many issues and troubleshooting over the years. Since the new update with the nordwhisper availability, you will need to change your protocol manually: under connection> VPN protocol > set it to “NordWhisper” (not auto, tcp udp or anything else). Then back out to your map view, and under “secialty servers” check “obfuscated servers” and set your auto connection to the fastest server of this. NordWhisper has been given priority since the last update and seems to work stable with obfuscated servers. Not my fave, but in the meantime they need to just patch whatever bug is causing so many of us issues. Let me know if this fixes it for you
Happens a lot, gets confusing try and to connect to certain sites until you remember and pause it for five minutes
Man I joined this group awhile ago to see how others experience is using nordvpn before pulling the trigger and buying it, but all i see in this sub reddit is full of posts about issues with it. Should I look somewhere else? I guess to be fair many seem to be resolved with gaining knowledge of the tool itself like anything. Not to hijack your post my friend.
I cant even get microsoft edge to pop up
I don’t know how/why NordVPN will stop it from opening unless Threat Protection Pro is blocking something malicious
What OS are you using? Windows 11 24h2 update intrduced a ton of issues, including network/VPN connectivity issues. Lots of info on the Web.

He’s gonna go bananas!
I’m not a conspiracy theorist, at all, but…
I’ve noticed over the last month or so Nord is much slower than it used to be, and takes longer to connect.
Also, I’ve had the “Nord kills my ethernet connection, and I have to uninstall Nord to fix it…” problem twice in the last month. I’ve only had that 2 or 3 times over the last 4 or 5 years until the last month.
Use the new web tunnel it is incredibly fast. I hit 90 MBPS the other day on qbittorrent
Had the same issue. Turning off post quantum protection fixed it. Worked for a couple days then nope. Heard it only works on Linux.
My only complaint is nordlynx comes on the automatically even when I don’t have a VPN on or running. And sometimes it doesn’t allow an internet connection. I go into control alt delete task manager and stop NordVPN I’m running in the processes and my internet comes back then I can turn on the VPN if I want it and it runs on. But that happens a lot.
Same here. Driving me insane.
Great story dude. So what did you try to do to fix ?
Did you reboot your device?
Did you reinstall Nord!
Do you have any private DNS settings on your phone that could be overriding your VPN settings?
I use Nord in multiple locations on multiple devices, if ever I’ve had an issue like yours, a u install, reboot and reinstall works great to resolve issues.
check your computer for virus
When I go to settings - vpn protocol - dns is default but I can only enter 1 of those addresses. How can I enter both? I am on an iPhone
Folks post here to find solutions to problems. People that are not having problems rarely post. You can probably find a low cost trial for NordVPN and see if you like it. Personally, I have had few issues and continue to use it. Having said that, I don’t doubt those that have issues and hopefully they can find a solution.
If we posted how great it is, would you believe it?
