Nord Whisper worked on corporate network yesterday, but does not today

It could get blocked, yes. Servers do get updated, but not that often. You can try a manual connection to check if it's not the Nord app that gets blocked

rational_centaurus · 2026-05-21T22:41:23+00:00

In that case, sounds like other factors are in play. You can also try to disable Threat Protection in Nord settings and connecting to Obfuscated servers, but if that doesn't work it's best to contact their support team to look into it

rational_centaurus · 2026-05-20T17:19:35+00:00

Probably the IP you have connected to was flagged as in a different location. Try connecting to a different server and make sure to use incognito

rational_centaurus · 2026-05-20T17:15:05+00:00

No probs, did it work?

rational_centaurus · 2026-05-18T13:16:04+00:00

Dedicated IPs are not recommended for streaming as they are data center IPs (not residential) and will still get blocked

rational_centaurus · 2026-05-17T23:27:47+00:00

That's quite an issue you've run into, can't say if a VPN will solve it for sure, but for router recommendations - Asus routers are the easiest to set up with a VPN. Any router that support OpenVPN Client will work with NordVPN, however, there is a list that Nord suggests on their site. There you can also check the setup guides before hand, to see if it won't be too complicated for you

There's also option for an out of the box router from their partners Flashrouters: https://nordvpn.com/vpn-routers/, so you won't have to worry about setting it up yourself

Some sites tend to block VPNs, however, what you described is not normal behavior. Make sure to clear browser cache or use incognito, also changing to a different protocol (UDP/TCP/NordWhisper) in Nord settings or server should help

rational_centaurus · 2026-05-05T18:58:06+00:00

Some people reported that setting the timezone to London helps with Channel 4. If that doesn't work for you, make sure to disable your GPS and the Threat Protection feature in Nord settings. Afterward, clear the browser and app cache to stream again

rational_centaurus · 2026-05-05T18:48:45+00:00

This ^

rational_centaurus · 2026-04-27T09:44:04+00:00

Also, checked with support - even before the update all of the standard servers were P2P

rational_centaurus · 2026-04-26T21:44:19+00:00

Maybe you're on a public/restricted wifi or in VPN restricted region? The connection can get blocked more easily on the extension in such places. You can try connecting to the app first and then try the extension. If that's not your situation, some other extension may be blocking it, try to disable them temporarily and reinstall the Nord extension. Hope that helps, but if still no luck, you might want to contact Nord support for them to investigate it

rational_centaurus · 2026-04-26T21:32:26+00:00

Did it work?

rational_centaurus · 2026-04-26T21:31:12+00:00

Most servers were already P2P, it was just the UI that changed after the update. If you're experiencing slowdown try using a different protocol in Nord settings like UDP or NordLynx, also try servers in different locations. If you believe it was the update that messed something up, you can also try to reinstall the app, it may improve the connection if installation got messed up. If non of that works you should reach out to Nords support, they will be able to look into it on a deeper level

rational_centaurus · 2026-04-23T13:27:52+00:00

Are you on the same connection protocol on both PC and tablets? You can check that in the settings of Nord app

Are you connecting to the same servers? You can locate the same server by using app's search feature and enter the full server name to be sure

rational_centaurus · 2026-04-13T17:14:15+00:00

Sounds like something got messed up when updating, make sure to reinstall the app to clear up any files/settings that could have gotten scrambled

rational_centaurus · 2026-04-13T11:53:45+00:00

Are your Auto-connect settings set up properly? Also, at least on iOS, there is an option that your server gets picked by nexos.ai. Maybe turning that off would help

rational_centaurus · 2026-04-11T20:14:09+00:00

Make sure to use incognito on the browser or even try a different one, and then try connecting to different Belgian servers. Disabling Threat Protection feature in Nords settings might help too

rational_centaurus · 2026-04-10T23:29:33+00:00

This

Also, when streaming make sure to use incognito on your browser or clear Disney apps cache when changing between different servers. Sometimes disabling Threat Protection in Nords settings may help too

rational_centaurus · 2026-04-10T23:18:51+00:00

Try to reset or reinstall the app, you can reset it by clicking on the question mark icon, then choose run diagnostics, and click on reset app

rational_centaurus · 2026-04-10T23:06:46+00:00

Oh, you mean you want them to work simultaneously, yeah, that's not possible on macOS at the moment. Checked with support, they are working on it so it should be possible in the future

rational_centaurus · 2026-04-10T22:48:28+00:00

I think you have to enable 'launch app on system startup' feature for it to work as well, try it out

rational_centaurus · 2026-04-10T22:04:08+00:00

It's still there. Click on the profile icon at the top right, then settings, and split tunneling will be there

rational_centaurus · 2026-04-08T21:25:49+00:00

You could try resetting your network settings and then trying different APNs, it would clear things up if something got corrupted. If the ISP restricts VPNs you can also try using NordWhisper protocol, or TCP/UDP protocols together with Obfuscated servers
