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.
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.
fair 'nuf. but that ‘requires’ a: use … instead. That is, you recommend …?
Windscribe, Mullvad, IVPN, Proton
Proton, all around better service and Swiss privacy Promise (a one you can actually build on)
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.
