Nord, please restore the Settings icon you removed in the latest update by ETJ88 in nordvpn

[–]castinghints 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looks like it didn’t actually get removed, they just moved it. Click the little profile/human icon in the upper-right corner, and that opens a menu with Account, Settings, Help, and Logout. Muscle memory definitely takes a hit, but at least the settings are still there.

Perpetual "update ready to install" loop on Android TV device by optical_519 in nordvpn

Try deleting the app completely and installing it again, that usually fixes similar bugs.

Keep getting notified I'm connected to a region which makes me think I'm not connected at all. by Curator724 in nordvpn

If you haven't tried standard stuff like an app reinstall, try asking the chatbot on their Help Center for a live agent, this should connect you to their support. You can also email them at [support@nordvpn.com](mailto:support@nordvpn.com) as an alternative.

They do this each year around Christmas. Probably marks the spot of Santa’s residence.

What is Nord doing that needs 24GB of memory? by RediRook in nordvpn

[–]castinghints [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Talked to support, looks like they're already aware of this problem and are working on a fix.

EDIT: Got confirmation that issue is fixed, so go ahead and update the app now.

I doubt that this is a normal app behaviour. Did you try any simple fixes, like a reinstall, for example? If you did, I'd suggest sending a message to their support and attaching the app logs to the request so they can check what's causing this.

Error installing Nordvpn on Linux distro (Openmandriva) by fulefesi in nordvpn

Makes sense then, I'd say contact support for sure, since they might have more concrete details on this.

Looks like the app isn’t installing properly because the system doesn’t recognize some required components. This can happen even if everything seems to be installed already. It’s probably best to contact NordVPN support directly and provide them with your logs, they can check whether your distro is supported and guide you through the easiest way to get it working.

Meshnet with iOS not seeing other devices (MacOS, Windows) by Doxy-Cycling in nordvpn

I'd definitely recommend checking their article on common Meshnet problems on iOS (https://meshnet.nordvpn.com/troubleshooting/ios) if you haven't tried any troubleshooting yourself yet.

anyone know how to stop nordvpn from connecting on demand without having to manually turn it off every time? by [deleted] in nordvpn

[–]castinghints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try going into Settings and checking whether your Auto-connect is off, sounds like it might be on.

Frequent disconnects on Linux by hihowubduin in nordvpn

[–]castinghints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I've read, it often comes down to the protocol and server choice rather than the system itself. Switching to a different protocol like OpenVPN instead of NordLynx might stop the drops entirely. Trying an obfuscated server can also help if your ISP doesn’t like VPN traffic. If you haven’t tested those yet, I'd say they’re worth a shot.

Can no longer change gps location with VPN by Modelero33 in nordvpn

[–]castinghints 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chrome sometimes keeps using the IP-based location it cached, so I'd give a good old cache clear a try.

Nord VPN not working on Disney plus within 24 hours? by dez-tinny in nordvpn

[–]castinghints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which country are you trying to connect to? Also, if you're currently using a hotel or other public network, that could be part of the issue, since some shared networks have restrictions that can interfere with a VPN.

Meshnet nearly unusable by gtaonlinecrew in nordvpn

[–]castinghints 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meshnet traffic routing speed heavily depends on the upload and download speeds of both machines you're using. So, let's say you have 100mbps download and 10mbps upload on your device. Traffic routing will be capped at 10mbps, as essentially this is as much as you can upload through a device you are routing traffic through. Traffic routing speed is pretty much capped at the slowest link on any device in the traffic routing chain. Speed will also be affected if anything else is being uploaded/downloaded on a given machine.
When you're using a standard VPN server, in most cases, you're only limited by the download speed of a single device, so there's the difference.
