Windows 10 NordVPN issues the past few days

VPN

For the past 48 hours or so I’ve been having trouble with Nord. I’ll open it, It’ll connect and then it’ll get stuck in a cycle of looking for a new IP over and over again.

This has been running fine for about a month or so now, I don’t have to touch it ever. It always auto connects and takes care of everything.

I tried doing the restart from the diagnostic section that didn’t change anything. I didn’t do a full reinstall but if that is suggested, I’ll do that next.

Is there any chance my ISP which is Verizon is somehow causing this?

Since it appears to be an issue for a few community members, can someone who is experiencing this share their connection logs with Nord’s team?

Marill-viking could you please do so? The guide on how to share them is here: https://support.nordvpn.com/hc/en-us/articles/19920718445457-How-to-get-connection-logs-on-Windows I will also share this post with their team.

I started having problems as well after 2 years of basically no issues. Constant server switching and disconnections. Sometimes I’ll be connected to a server but unable to access the internet until I refresh to a new one.

Been using Nord for 5 years with no issues. The last 6 months it’s getting worse and worse.

Uninstalling and reinstalling fixes for a few weeks, then back to acting up til I uninstall it again…

Maybe related maybe not, I had issues the last few days with Nord taking a very long time acquire an IP while connecting. It would eventually connect (10 seconds maybe) and it has not been an issue today.

6

The app itself is the problem, in my experience. Kill it and restart it, and usually it works just fine after that.

Ive been having this exact same issue on windows 11 and cant figure out whats wrong and ive tried every troubleshooting step there is. I ended up just setting it up through ikev2 with the windows built in vpn and its been working better.

To figure out the ip, nord calls its API, you should be able to see it in the logs. Ofc, you can always contact the support and provide them diagnostics logs

just downloaded the ovpn file of that said server and use openvpn software and it will work flawlessly

10

Use OPENVPN as protocol. lynx has been having issues for months already

11

Force closing through Task Manager and reopening it has helped me with connection bugs in the past.

12

Same on my iMac always dropping out
And iPhone won’t connect

I just had this problem 1 hours ago. Stuck on connecting reconnecting even if i close the app still no connection with wifi. I believe the update yesterday broke something.

Now what happens to be solution for me or rather found the culprit/fix is somehow my DNS has been reset to default, previously using the Nord DNS. Not sure what reset it either the update or the constant reconnecting and the app set it back.

Once i put back the custom DNS in all the network adapters, works smoothly like it used to. Hope it helps.

I cancelled NORD today… Bloated software that’s not brilliant at what it’s designed for.

15

I gave them the file via chat since the diag failed and didn’t give a code. I don’t know if it will help, they didn’t seem to care.

16

Yea that’s what’s happening rn

I don’t wanna switch but I may need to.

17

It must be windows bc I use Linux and have absolutely zero issues. I have autoconnect on through the command line. No app at all so that’s likely why. I am connected within a second of booting

18

I don’t believe I ever set that up. Can you explain a bit about what exactly that is or if you have a link by chance?

I genuinely enjoy the program and app. Creating the mesh network and allowing me to VPN from my phone has been a big plus

The past few days has been terrible and socks 5 support dropping has been a bit much.
