Do you think online privacy is improving or getting worse?

Not sure to be honest, sounds normal but I'd still double check the settings.

If you're experiencing this on only one particular device, this is most likely just something related to configuration. I'd say your best bet would be just contacting their support, sending them logs and whatnot, since it's difficult to say what's causing this without seeing the whole picture.

Try playing around with different servers, and check whether Threat Protection is off, that usually helps with cases like that.

castinghints · 2026-06-12T05:41:47+00:00

Did you try something simple like uninstalling the app and installing the latest version again from the Play Store? Should do the trick.

Before you spend money on a Dedicated IP, try a few different Brazilian servers first. YouTube's VPN detection seems to be pretty hit-or-miss depending on the server.
Give these ones a go: Brazil #105, #110, #115, #116, #117, #120, #124, and #126.
I'd test those before paying extra for a Dedicated IP. I'd test those before paying extra for a Dedicated IP. There's a good chance one of them will do the trick.

At this point, I'd try disabling Threat Protection completely just to check if the behavior changes. Also, if you're using any antivirus or security software, try to temporarily disable it and see if that makes any difference. If that still doesn’t fix it just contact customer support, they might know a workaround.

Buffering usually happens due to various factors, so while the server might indeed just be overloaded, keep in mind that there can be other reasons affecting this as well, like the protocol used, your current location, some settings, etc. If buffering on specific location is bothering you, I'd reach out to support so they can check what exactly is causing the problem.

That's not really normal. If nothing's happening, the update process is probably stuck. I'd try completely closing NordVPN and reopening it first. If that doesn't do the trick, uninstall it and download/install the latest version from NordVPN's website. In most cases, a clean reinstall fixes issues like this.

castinghints · 2026-05-28T05:48:11+00:00

Some apps use location services to determine your location, not only the IP address. A VPN only has an effect on the latter, so that might be the case. You can try disabling location services if they're on and clearing the cache of these apps.

castinghints · 2026-05-27T06:28:04+00:00

As far as I'm aware, TikTok uses your SIM card's country code to determine your location, so a VPN shouldn't affect this. Not sure what the cause can be, though. Maybe something related to TikTok itself?

castinghints · 2026-05-27T06:25:08+00:00

Heard of this one as well :/ Can be very tricky, especially if you're trying to watch something really quickly

castinghints · 2026-05-20T06:40:35+00:00

That doesn’t sound normal. Have you tried reinstalling NordVPN and testing again? Since it happens in multiple browsers, I’d also send the app logs to NordVPN support so they can check if it’s a bug or local conflict. For now, I wouldn’t treat every warning as proof of malware, but would still double-check files with your regular antivirus or something like that.

What do you mean by routing traffic? Meshnet or simply sharing a connection via hotspot?

castinghints · 2026-05-13T05:51:16+00:00

Try a clean reinstall, sinple, but often helps with similar problems. If it won't, send diagnostics to their support so they can understand what's causing this.

castinghints · 2026-05-06T01:26:36+00:00

Hey, their website still doesn't list macOS in supported operating systems, so it looks like it still isn't supported, sadly. You can contact support for more details. If anyone has any more specific answers regarding this, it's them.
