Are you using NordVPN on your phone?


Multiple users have reported this being an issue when running NordVPN’s Threat Protection (this can run even when VPN isn’t connected). Turning off “Connect on Demand” in Settings->VPN->Threat Protection seems to fix it. Of course, if you want/need Nord’s TP then you’re stuck at the moment.

Hello, Maurice,

 

Thank you for getting back to us.

 

Based on the DNS leak test results, your DNS requests are not leaking and the connection is established properly (the DNS IP that gets detected belongs to the same server that you are connected to).

 

To further troubleshoot your issue, please try refreshing your browser's cache first. You can check the tutorial on clearing the cache here:

https://nordvpn.com/blog/how-to-clear-your-cache/

 

Later, please try using these servers and see if your issues persist:

 

Canada #1596 - 185.153.179.160

Canada #1597 - 185.153.179.162

Canada #1746 - 84.39.151.228

Canada #1582 - 185.153.179.132

Canada #1747 - 84.39.151.240

Canada #1686 - 176.100.43.40

Canada #1566 - 185.153.179.100

Canada #1595 - 185.153.179.158

Canada #1745 - 84.39.151.216

Canada #1752 - 45.90.222.104

 

To connect to a specific server, simply open the NordVPN application and type its number in the server search field. For example, to connect to a United States #3015 server, type: "United States #3015", "3015" or "#3015".

 

Let us know how it goes!

Kind regards,

Vicente
