Nord VPN strangeness

[buggz]

Hello,

Can anyone else get the NordLynx VPN protocol to work on M4 Mac Mini Pro using macOS Sequoia (15) ?

For some reason, I can only connect via OpenVPN.

EDIT: Probably disregard. I just realized I'm talking about an iPhone and you are asking about a Mac.

Out of curiosity, are you trying to connect while on mobile network, or on WiFi? Or is it a problem on either? I ask because I had an issue with another VPN brand connecting via WireGuard on the mobile network but not on WiFi. I could connect via OpenVPN and IPSec on mobile but not WireGuard. (Support helped troubleshoot and eventually responded that the only conclusion they could come to is that necessary ports were being blocked on the mobile network.)

I would stay away from the NordLynx protocol. I had weird issues on my Android phone where push notifications stopped working when I was using it. However, this was a couple of years ago that I last tried it.

Thanks for the replies, just trying to see if others have the same difficulty before I go to Nord support/forums.

I've been wondering if there's been issues especially WRT Sequoia 15.3 breaking things.

I'm **not** On Nord (I use Mullvad), but ever since 15.3, I am once again (as I had when 15.0 was first released but fixed when 15.1 released) been having weird issues w/ Mullvad enabled (iCloud won't sync; can't access Gmail accounts through Apple Mail app, for instance).

NordVPN is working fine on mine,
Eero 7 connected via WiFi and also 10Gbps ethernet to mesh point.
I have Frontier 2Gbps fiber internet. Directly connected via 10 Gbps to the main router with my Studio I get about 2.2 Gbps down and 2.4Gbps up. On the mesh point upstairs I get 1.0 Gbps down and 600 Gbps up. NordVPN drops down by about 150 Gbps.
