<![CDATA[Nord VPN & Bitdefender]]>I’ve noticed my Nord VPN has struggled to connect lately on the laptop, it does connect but sometimes it can be a few minutes before it connects or it will just continue to say connecting and then I have to shut the app down and then it may do the same thing again once it’s reopened.

Could this be antivirus software that is interfering with it? I wonder if anyone else has had similar issues to what I’m facing?

Would it be safe to turn off Bitdefender whilst the VPN is running?

@JAC what happens if you select another server to connect to ?

All seems a lot better since my laptop updated to Windows 11. How has yours been running Mark?

@JAC I run bitdefender and Nord VPN at home since switching back to Windows a few months ago. I’ve not experienced this issue.

Do you have the kill switch option enabled ? If so, turn it off and see if there’s any improvement.

Never disable any endpoint security software. This should always take preference over anything else.

Thanks mate I’ll try this when I get back, I think I do have the kill switch enabled mate so that may explain it.
