Hello all ! Back in the days, I could manage my VPN connection through Network manager, by choosing "Import a configuration", since Nord VPN sends many configurations ready to use. But it's been weeks or even months since I can't connect anymore. Login and password are correct. Any ideas ?
Thank you very much !
I had the same issue a few weeks ago.
A support guy told me that the authentification method has changed.
Username and password needs to be generated on Norvpn website.
You can either try to check if you find it on your own or just chat with the support team.
Mine is working fine again since.
Go to Nordvpn website and log in to your nord account.
Click on NordVPN and scroll down to manully setup.
Look for Get service credentials or an access token.
Click on setup NordVPN manually.
Follow the steps.
Change both in network manager.
That should be it.

I've used company-specific VPNs while working at home as a software engineer. They allowed me to connect securely to the company's LAN, and work just as if I were in the office (only with better coffee). But I'm wondering what's the benefit of using a general-purpose VPN?
Just about every site I ever connect with is one that requires me to be logged in with a user name and password, and the sensitive ones require email or SMS authentication if I log on from a location they don't recognize, so what would be the advantage of being an anonymous user using an unknown device from an untrusted location?
If you browse to such a site and provide your correct user name and password to log in, does that still work normally? I'd hate to have to wait for an email or text message to verify who I am every time I log on somewhere to order lunch, pay a bill, or connect to a streaming service that I'm subscribed to.
And does the monthly charge apply to all the devices at one IP address (e.g., a laptop, a desktop, and a smartphone), or does one fee cover them all? I briefly scanned the Nord VPN website, but didn't notice how many devices one subscription covers. Paying their monthly rate for every computer at my location would quickly get very expensive.
I'm hoping the team can bring Safing.io's Portmaster to the curated set of software. It is awesome. I use it on a desktop running Pop. For my laptops using Solus Budgi, I use the old terminal protonvpn-cli as I do not like their GUI.
I really want to like Mullvad...their browser is so good. Ok, sorry, off topic.
