The popular VPN Provider NordVPN has launched a new feature called “Threat Protection Technology” for all subscribers and services. The release of this improvement was announced on the NordVPN Official Website via a blog post which you can find below. NordVPN Announces Threat Protection Threat Protection from NordVPN works in conjunction with standard VPN technology…
Checked on Nord on Amazon firestick for first time in a while and it the screen came up and then disappeared and can’t seem to determine if it is working.
Suggestions will be good.
Did you uninstall/reinstall to see if that helped any?
@Miki Hey Miki, I cant believe you switched from Proton VPN to Nord VPN, what was the turning point in switching? Price?
Proton has escalated their policy changes and app updates without any streaming customer input. They continue this “well this is for your own good” attitude, when in fact it’s for theirs. The last straw, for me, was making their apps so difficult to access and configure and their instructions completely ignore the entire streaming community. The latest changes to their VPN no longer giving you full access to the servers but instead telling you which are best for you and limiting your choices to just 12 to 14 servers at each location. Now I can no longer access servers I had found that actually give me access to debrid services as an example. Their answer was to “search” for the server number. Well guess what? You can only do that on a laptop or desktop.
Once again proving that Proton is not a streaming friendly Service. So my sub is up in March, and time to move on.
We use nord basic , it randomly changes by it self , we tried the free trial with porton that just sits in Japan . I did try Troy’s favorite surf shark last year it was random off and on and their 30 day money back was a no . So just to be clear you’re in Canada and use the level up from basic?
Good to know that makes sense and thanks for the info on porton .

Nord also provides a dedicated IP address that’s works on android devices.
Yes but that tends to make it quite expensive. I believe it was an extra $4.85Cdn./mth.
I also used NordVPN and Nordpass, I switched over to surfshark when my sub expired because of the unlimited devices, but I kept Nordpass, nice having all my passwords and login info all in one secure place 
I have been struggling with some sites as well of some apps like my TiViMate. After hours of testing I found the problem. IT’S THE NORD DNS BLOCKING APPS, DOWNLOADS, SITE CONNECTIONS AND NOT ALLOWING IPTV CONNECTIONS FOR SOME SERVICES. I went into my Nord DNS in Settings and changed it to 8.8.8.8 for a custom DNS and enabled it, ignored their idiotic warnings, disconnected Nord and reconnected. Now I can use all my services and download, as well as connecting to the APK downloads I want. If using Nord DNS this may be the source of issues downloading or connecting with Troypoint toolbox as well as the downloader not connecting. Try changing the DNS server.
Thanks , was having issues with Nord connecting to one of my playlists and this fixed it!!
No TiViMate, keep getting “DataSourceException”. TiVi Mate cache cleared.
Amber B has given me a new code, to no avail.
NordVPN disconnected, after reboot also. I changed DNS to 8.8.8.8
SmartTube, and official Android all working.
Streaming on Shield Pro, which I rebooted multiple times. Fed into Samsung TV.
HELP! I’m a news junkie and need to watch civilization collapse!
Please see my reply below. I’m at wit’s end. Thankx!
Things working fine until today.
Whoops! See original reply above!
If you are getting a data source exception that means that your source is not working. Absolutely nothing I can do to help with that. You need to contact your supplier.
