Troubleshooting Streaming Issues with NordVPN




Streaming issues: Some users have reported having trouble accessing streaming services while connected to NordVPN. This is because some streaming services block VPN traffic. NordVPN has servers that are specifically optimized for streaming, but they may not always work.


Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot NordVPN streaming issues:


General Steps:


  1. Check if the streaming service blocks VPNs: Some services like Netflix actively block VPN traffic. Verify if your chosen streaming service is known to do this.

  2. Connect to a different server: NordVPN offers servers optimized for streaming. Try connecting to a different server, preferably one listed as "P2P/Streaming" or similar.

  3. Clear browser cache and cookies: Outdated data can sometimes interfere with streaming. Clear your browser's cache and cookies.

  4. Try incognito mode: Incognito mode bypasses browser extensions that might interfere with streaming.

  5. Restart your device and streaming app: Sometimes a simple restart can resolve temporary glitches.

  6. Disable NordVPN features: Certain NordVPN features like CyberSec or Threat Protection can occasionally block streaming content. Try disabling them temporarily.

Advanced Steps:

  1. Use NordVPN's custom DNS servers: Set your device's DNS to NordVPN's custom DNS addresses (103.86.96.100 & 103.86.99.100).

  2. Try different VPN protocols: Switch between NordVPN's available protocols like NordLynx, OpenVPN, or IKEv2/UDP. Different protocols have varying compatibility with streaming services.

  3. Contact NordVPN support: If none of the above work, reach out to NordVPN's support team for further assistance. They can offer more specific solutions based on your situation.

Additional Tips:


Remember: Not all solutions are guaranteed to work for every streaming service or situation. Be patient and try different approaches to find what works best for you.
