Can't find peers when i turn vpn on

I’ve been using popcorn time for a while now and decided to buy a NordVPN subscription just to be sure. The first film I watch with the VPN on worked fine, but then I went for a second one, and it didn’t work it kept saying ‘getting metabase’ at the bottom, 0kbps on the left and 0/0 peers on the right.

I’ve already tried the following

connecting to a different server, trying a different film, different quality, reinstalling popcorn time, restarting my pc, restarting NordVPN.

All of these give me the same problem (afterwards)

I want to stress that NordVPN is working fine on its own, and popcorn time is working fine when I turn my VPN off. It’s the combination that seems to be the problem.

If there’s info you’re missing, please just leave a comment

‘getting metabase’ at the bottom, 0kbps on the left and 0/0 peers on the right.
