Another post about recent update breaking nordvpn for Windows 11. Does anyone know what's going on?

I paid for 2 years and it has worked well for over a year now but since the recent update a few days ago, it slows all my browsers down like they each have the slowest dns in the world.

This has and still is a very highly rated vpn across most sites that review vpns. Presumably, there must be thousands of users experiencing the same slow downs but I can’t find anything about a fix or a work around, etc.

Edit; to be a little more specific about my troubles;

-I haven’t changes any settings in the nordvpn client since the update, it worked without issue before the update

-What I experience is a very noticeable lag when starting up a browser. On both Firefox and Edge, it takes seconds to load any landing page. When I click on a bookmark to any site, it takes seconds for the site to start loading.

So, we got a confirmation from NordVPN’s dev team that they’ve noticed this issue with the latest version of the app. Apparently, Threat Protection and Split Tunneling don’t really work well together in general, so you’ll have to disable one of them for browsers to work normally. The good news is that the issue should be fixed in the next update, which is expected to be released in a couple of weeks.

Same here, some of website just keep loading…

Yeah - this has been 100% my experience and no acknowledgement from Nord. I’ve had two long support tickets with them and no advice other than reinstall via diagnostic reset (which makes zero difference and just seems like the default response now)

My whole PC slows down when i use Nord and my connection speed is only 20% of what it used to be.
I don’t have threat protection on.

Windows 24H2 broke a lot of things. This included. And Adguard! Games too. (So if you haven’t updated yet, please don’t)

The app took a while to launch. Connection is slower. Sometimes no connection at all.

Adguard is currently investigating. I’m pretty sure NordVPN is too. I hope they’ll release a fix sooner.

Turn off Threat Protection in it’s entirety… It’s causing issues for everyone.

Neither threat protection nor split tunneling and it’s still super slow and some apps don’t work since last update

review vpns

You do know they get paid to say good things? And they never say anything about the great VPNs that don’t pay for reviews?

Having said that, I do have NordVPN on a couple of Win11 machines and have not seen any problem.

Treath pro will block youtube, google and almost any website

Same here, I’ve been having the exact same issues since the update. I tried reinstalling NordVPN, resetting network settings, and even adjusting DNS, but no luck. Feels like the VPN is throttling speeds, and browsing is super slow now. Hopefully, they push a fix soon, but I’m not seeing much info on it either.

Seems like the problem is split tunneling, but to be fair, Win11 has a very noticeable lag when starting up ANYthing. It’s rubbish

13

If the issue is still present, send Nord support logs, and then send me the ticket ID, I’ll transfer it to them directly so it gets the priority

This was the answer, thank you. Split tunneling was my problem that broke with the update. Turning off all Threat Protection at least has me going again.

I’m not experiencing that at all. Windows open right away but if it’s a browser, the DNS lookup takes much longer than it used to.

Yep split tunneling broke for me, and forked my Plex server. Had to find an old version of the app and downgrade to get it to work
