After working pretty well for several years suddenly NordVPN is returning an AUTH_FAILURE via OpenVPN, despite the same username/password working to login on their website. Has anyone else suddenly experienced this? Any clues? (other than stop using NordVPN [wink]/-sigh-) Thank you! UPDATE: NordVPN is (apparently) reading as down via https://downdetector.com/status/nord-vpn/map/
UPDATE2: It is starting to indicate a generalized failure of accepting authorization from OpenVPN as one can see from the comments down the page linked above. Has NordVPN quietly pulled a reddit against ‘third party’ agents? (if so, i want some money back - hah, fat chance -sigh-)
Don’t use Nord.
I’m using a shared NordVPN account I bought from a random site for 2.5USD and 9 months of service LOL.
I will buy one for another random site when this expires.
fair 'nuf. but that ‘requires’ a: use … instead. That is, you recommend …?
Proton, all around better service and Swiss privacy Promise (a one you can actually build on)
Windscribe, Mullvad, IVPN, Proton
Why? Privacy issues? Security issues? I’ve been using it for a couple of years now and not had any trouble with it.
Many issues.

Also they have a shit load of money advertising, if a company advertises that much they definitely scam you.
