NordVPN gets stuck in reconnecting state leaving no access to internet

Usually this happens when resuming laptop from sleep having previously been connected. When the client tries to reconnect is just hangs indefinitely and shows reconnecting in the status.

The annoying this is I cannot cancel this, or kill the nord vpn process, leaving with no open other than to reboot.

I'm using the latest version on NordVPN linux client NordVPN Version 3.10.0.

I've tried various settings changes, kill switch on/off etc. I'm currently on the following settings.

Technology: OpenVPN
Protocol: UDP
Firewall: enabled
Kill Switch: disabled
CyberSec: disabled
Obfuscate: disabled
Notify: enabled
Auto-connect: disabled
IPv6: disabled
DNS: x.x.x.x, x.x.x.x

Is there a way to kill nord VPN using the usual method of searching in system monitor, doesn't seem to work as the process pops straight back up again.

Just wanted to update this for anyone else that has problems and the previous suggest solution does not work for them, just as it didn't for me.

I contacted nordvpn online help, and after faffing about for a while, the thing that did work was the following.

sudo iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
sudo iptables -F INPUT
sudo iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
sudo iptables -F OUTPUT
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager

Even though that immediately got me connected, I actually use openvpn so had to issue the following command after

nordvpn set technology openvpn

to get back to using openvpn.

Hope this helps if the other solution doesn't work for whomever.

I have the same issue and use this little script:

#!/bin/bash
sudo pkill -9 -f nordvpn
sudo iptables --policy INPUT ACCEPT
sudo iptables --policy FORWARD ACCEPT
sudo iptables --policy OUTPUT ACCEPT
sudo iptables -t nat --flush
sudo iptables -t mangle --flush
sudo iptables --flush
sudo iptables -X

It kills the nordvpn process and resets the iptables.
After that, you can connect again.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
