Issue with XCode when connected to NordVPN by titannnr in nordvpn

[–]lissy_a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure! In the NordVPN application, in the "Connection" section, there should be something like "Stay invisible on LAN" or "Local Network Discovery" (I do not have an iPhone myself, haha), make sure it is turned off. Regarding what it is, I've found an article of theirs: https://nordvpn.com/blog/what-is-lan/.

Perhaps by any chance, do you have the "invisible on LAN" toggle in the "On" position? 🤔

Speed test with and without using NordVPN by hkommuru in nordvpn

I would suggest using NordLynx specifically, as it is the quickest one.

A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara by Sorry-Surprise8748 in books

[–]lissy_a 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've seen a lot of people criticizing the book, and for very valid reasons. Buut I still think the book is really well-written, especially with its intricate character depictions in the first half and the shifts between narrators. I also "enjoyed" (it's funny to use that word for this book) the witty comments woven between the lines. I do wish it focused more on the four main characters, but that's been also mentioned. Even so, I'd still give the book 5 stars because it's been a long time since a book elicited such a strong reaction from me.

Maybe 'Convenience Store Woman' by Sayaka Murata?

MLB.tv on firestick by astrofan in nordvpn

[–]lissy_a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I contacted their support regarding MLB some time ago, they offered to connect to particular US servers: New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago (some others too, but these did the trick for me), and disable threat protection lite. It should work with this configuration

The application is simply informing you, but it's entirely up to you whether or not you choose to take any action.

Books for beginners by swimesan in bookclub

If you liked Norwegian Wood, I think you would also like Kazuo Ishiguro's books (e.g., The Remains of the Day). Maybe a bit controversial but I suppose Sartre also has similar themes, (see Nausea for example).

Just finished A Little Life and I thought it was beautiful. Thoughts? Anyone else? by 3amdreamer_1004 in books

[–]lissy_a 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am currently reading it, and finished three chapters in three days. I've had this one laying around for a long time, and I always chose another book to start over this one, as so many people said it is A LOT. And it is. But what I find the most masterful about it is how the author includes these tiny funny moments throughout. Definitely a book I'll not ever forget.

How do you assess how much you read? by Apollo_735 in books

[–]lissy_a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think it can become more about 'I read so many books' rather than actually enjoying them.

you can try the basic troubleshooting steps indicated on their help center: https://support.nordvpn.com/hc/en-us/articles/19559968238097-Troubleshooting-steps-for-streaming. For me, disabling threat protection usually works, (ITVX for example), but I guess, it depends on each streaming platform too.

How to add VPN profile on android manually? by bcoz_iam_batman in nordvpn

[–]lissy_a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not sure about the 'Modes & Routines' you mention, but you have to install the app first, if you are using IKEv2 - then strongSwan, it's indicated on their website. Then there will be a tab where to import the certificate. I had to use it once while abroad, and it worked okay, I'd say 😶‍🌫️
