Can't connect at work but Google VPN could on Android S24 Ultra

I recently lost the use of Google One VPN, so I’ve been looking for a replacement. I can’t use messenger apps on my work Wi-Fi without a VPN.

I just got Nord yesterday and it worked on cellular and on my home Wi-Fi. I can not get it to connect at work.

I’ve tried different DNS servers, different protocols, obfuscation, and difference combinations of all those. I’ve stopped the app and cleared the cache as well. Nothing has worked.

I know for sure that my work blocks VPN use, but Google One VPN worked without issue.

I also tried Tunnel Bear, and it also didn’t work, but that’s what lead me to try Google’s VPN, which worked for several months. They shut it down recently, so I’m desperate for an alternative.

I’m glad I didn’t buy the year subscription…

Looks like you’ve already tried a lot. My last suggestion would be a manual connection: https://support.nordvpn.com/hc/en-us/articles/19926132780689-Manual-OpenVPN-setup-on-Android.

Just in case, drop all you have to Nord’s support via email ([email protected]), maybe they have other suggestions.

Naa. I’ll just cancel my sub.
