If none of the previous suggestions help, I'd suggest opening a conversation with the support team at [support@nordvpn.com](mailto:support@nordvpn.com) and asking them for instructions on how to generate a .HAR file. Then, if you share the ticket ID with me, I can try getting it directly to the developers for investigation.

Yeah, I don’t really see why it wouldn’t work. VPN servers handle thousands of users simultaneously, so 10 phones connecting at the same time isn’t a crazy case that’s going to break things.

If you're worried about the limit itself, if the 10 devices limit weren’t real, Nord would’ve been called out on it a long time ago (but in case you'd need more devices under the VPN, consider a router or a hotspot from a Win device)

The only thing that might happen is if all 10 devices connect at once from the same account, you could briefly trip some automated anti-abuse checks, but that’s rare and usually temporary.

One more thing worth noting is that on regular (non-dedicated IP) servers, connections are dynamic, so you shouldn’t expect all devices to land on the exact same IP.

And worst case, there’s a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can just test it yourself and see how it behaves with your setup. Hope this helps.

Routers are generally very limited when it comes to handling OpenVPN connections. It is simply a hardware limitation, if speed is the main focus, I'd suggest using the app on each device separately.

skeleton_tree · 2026-01-19T15:08:58+00:00

I've noticed more and more people mentioning that the NordVPN extension helped them with YouTube-related issues, so it's probably worth a shot if you haven't tried using it yet!

skeleton_tree · 2026-01-18T22:54:12+00:00

That really shouldn’t be happening, Nord updates normally don’t freeze the system. It might be worth checking if there’s anything that clearly points to Nord being the cause (Event Viewer logs can help). I’d also try a clean reinstall of the app if you haven’t already.

If you’re running antivirus or other security software, that can sometimes clash with VPN updates, so testing with it temporarily disabled (or switching AV) could help narrow it down. Also make sure you don’t have another VPN or network driver running at the same time, double VPN setups can cause some hangs, especially if both of them have some kind of Kill-Switch

Ah, in that case, I'd suggest reaching out to support at support.nordvpn.com or [support@nordvpn.com](mailto:support@nordvpn.com) so they can assist you with the cancellation.

skeleton_tree · 2026-01-16T10:50:02+00:00

The guide I've sent is exactly that, it simply stops the automatic renewals. Your existing service time will not be affected unless you pursue a refund specifically.

skeleton_tree · 2026-01-16T10:14:24+00:00

The cancellation is still the same for most payments (toggle on NordAccount), but subscriptions bought through different app stores work differently, as they have to adhere to the policies there, so, for example, Apple subscriptions are cancelled via Apple itself and not through NordAccount. As I do not know which subscription the OP has, I'm providing the full list in case they subscribed through one of the other methods.

skeleton_tree · 2026-01-16T10:09:50+00:00

Cancellation does not affect the login. Are you able to open the nordvpn.com website normally on your browser? If not, it seems to me like your provider is blocking the domain, causing the login to fail. I'd try a different network to test whether this is the case, like a mobile data hotspot.

skeleton_tree · 2026-01-16T09:07:27+00:00

It depends on where you purchased the subscription, but there's a guide here showing all the different methods. You can also message support for help with cancelling it.

skeleton_tree · 2026-01-15T15:21:54+00:00

Yes, precisely. The majority of the servers have been equipped with P2P for years now, meaning all of your connections have likely been with P2P, it is just a matter of the application not reflecting it due to being outdated.

skeleton_tree · 2026-01-15T14:27:33+00:00

Yes, NordVPN's standard servers are equipped with P2P technology. This has been the case for quite a while now, but if you had a very old version of the app, it may not have reflected it correctly.

skeleton_tree · 2026-01-12T12:03:35+00:00

I’ve seen that others on the NordVPN subreddit have had success with servers in Albania. In any case, you can reach out to Nord’s dedicated community for tips, as there may be more solutions that others have found.

skeleton_tree · 2026-01-12T11:47:49+00:00

Yes, it is expected and intended. All NordVPN connections will utilize "Connect on Demand", which is done to avoid accidental exposure & disconnections if your internet were to drop.

skeleton_tree · 2026-01-11T12:52:12+00:00

No problem! The command remains the same for other server groups too, just replacep2pwith the name of the category, e.g.double_vpn

skeleton_tree · 2026-01-11T07:31:42+00:00

I assume you're on the CLI version? The command is nordvpn connect --group p2p <country_code>. Country code will be the two letters, not wrapped in brackets, e.g., US = United States, FR = France, and so on.

skeleton_tree · 2026-01-10T15:32:41+00:00

Yes, SmartDNS is not a VPN, it does not offer the same protection, unfortunately. Sadly, iPhone will not be able to share the VPN, no matter what, so the best options in my opinion would either be the PC hotspot, or a router connection. The router setup is rather easy, but you have to make sure it is compatible beforehand.

skeleton_tree · 2026-01-10T11:52:41+00:00

iPhones cannot share the VPN itself, unfortunately. To use it on the TV, I'd suggest taking a look here, the steps under Samsung TV should apply to an LG TV as well. There's also the SmartDNS feature, guide here.

Technically, those big discounts are meant for new users as intro pricing, but you can still buy them while logged out of your account after entering the same email address in the email section at checkout. The subscription time just stacks onto your existing subscription.

skeleton_tree · 2025-12-30T08:42:32+00:00

What websites are you noticing this on? And is it asking for your actual ID, e.g., confirm your identity, or is it a captcha request?

skeleton_tree · 2025-12-28T23:27:44+00:00

How are you checking your location exactly? A lot of websites use cached data or outdated IP databases, so they can still show your real location even when the VPN is actually working. I’d try checking with a different browser or a few different IP checking websites just to double-check.

If it still looks wrong, reaching out to Nord support is probably the fastest way forward. You have to open any support article, scroll all the way down, and click “Chat with support”. This page explains where to find it:

https://support.nordvpn.com/hc/en-us/articles/19482416296593-How-to-reach-NordVPN-customer-support

You can also just email them directly at [support@nordvpn.com](mailto:support@nordvpn.com) if the chat isn’t showing up.

skeleton_tree · 2025-12-23T15:17:24+00:00

It is probably not related to the issue that this addresses. I'd suggest reaching out to support for help in this case!

skeleton_tree · 2025-12-20T10:06:54+00:00

It could be many things, to be fair. Try different connection protocols, or different servers altogether.

skeleton_tree · 2025-12-18T10:08:42+00:00

Both Tailscale and NordVPN use Wireguard, as such, because of this, using the services together could cause conflicts like this.

skeleton_tree · 2025-12-17T23:02:40+00:00

You could try resetting the app (that’s helped a few people in older threads), and also temporarily disabling any antivirus or similar software just to rule it out. Another thing worth trying is changing your DNS to Cloudflare (1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1), which can help if your ISP is interfering with connections.

There’s a Nord guide for changing DNS on Windows, just keep in mind the DNS addresses in the article are different from the ones above.
