NordVPN on Windows 11 disables all internet and network connections in new laptop. Yet everything is turned off. Why?

I had to uninstall it and restart and everything went back to normal. VPN was not even on. Tried it again on another fresh computer on a different home network, same thing. What’s up with this program? Am I just a moron or something?

try disabling the threat protection on Nord. I had similar issues , while the vpn was NOT connected I could not access anything with that option enabled

Everyone should avoid NORD VPN in favor of a vpn that actually works.

I had a similar issue where NordVPN couldn’t find a server, but also wouldn’t let me connect to the internet otherwise? I don’t have an answer for you because I uninstalled and requested a refund (among other reasons). Customer support tried to help me but I straight up said I am not smart enough for this and to please proceed with my refund.

You’re not alone I think they broke something when updating. My pc automatically disconnects from the home network when I open nord.

Just restart computer.

Which app version are you using?
As I understand from your comments, apart from Threat Protection, you haven’t any other features on, like for example, Meshnet or Internet Kill Switch?

Also, you talking about another computer, did you connect it exactly the same way as the new one? I wonder how you tried to reproduce the problem.

However, I believe that you need help from the Nord Windows team here, but in order to give them at least some info, you would need to send your connection logs to Nord Support (https://support.nordvpn.com/1047408832) . If you could add the Reddit post and the logs to your ticket, it would be great. After receiving the ticket ID, you can share it with me via chat. I will try to push the priority through my channels.

Ah crap, I do remember that one was turned on. Sorry I slept since then. I couldn’t disable it. I’ll have to look into how to. The button wouldn’t allow me to turn that one specific feature off.

Got any recommendations? I need one for my PC and my android phone.

Been using Astrill only because it’s the only constant vpn to working in China. Usually
