Pls revert the newest update or give us a setting to use the old UI ( including choice of single servers )
I often encounter websites that block a certain Nord server and I could switch servers manually and even bookmark them which works.
which I can’t anymore this makes Nord VPN ultimately 100% worse for me.
windows 7.0+ version
You can connect to a specific server if you know the # using the app.
For example, I typed in Japan # and all the servers came up and I can pick which one to join. I don’t know why they made it like this but at least it works I guess.
There reasoning for the lack of server names is …“We have implemented this change in our new update to balance the loads on our servers”.
I complained to them about the 'Disconnect button - if you click on the ‘Disconnect’ button it disables the auto connect settings, reverting them back to ‘never’ so that they have to be re-set again - this was ignored in their reply. Also we now have to know the ‘flags of all nations’ so that we click on the right one to join the country/server we want, and hovering over the flag opens the name of the server that will be joined. I don’t, for one minute, believe that it is for load balancing, they are just dumbing down the app to cater for an influx of ‘technically challenged’ customers after their advertising promotions.
I uninstalled and reverted back to the previous app.
I’ve had Nord for several years. Every update gives the user less and less control-for the same amount of money that gets automatically recharged even though you have automatic renewal turned off. I will be looking for another vpn soon.
I agree it’s horrible, hanging on my pc constantly, terrible performance
Does this also go for MAC users?
Dang. That is the reason WHY i want to go with a VPN
I’ve been banned from a few website forums and the only way around is to use a different IP.
But that means i need to be able to change to a different server.
Are you saying you can’t pick a different one or a different city? Or even tell the one you connected to that got banned?
I only got the notification for this today. Obviously not updating for now. Thanks for the heads-up.
I reported this issue to their customer services as you can’t see the full server number anymore. The other odd UI design is the amount of wasted space, how you cannot resize the window at all and the additional clicking needed to go through settings menus.
I am getting 100% CPU usage on my device since the last update.
Apparently it is a known issue with no ETA on a fix
This ‘#’ trick does not work for VPN Chrome extension. Geez…
Whenever I type in Germany#. I get no results
Only if I type in like #1. But without country which is absolutely bad.
Huge step back of nord vpn.
I uninstalled and reverted back to the previous app.
any link for the old version ? i didnt back it up.
didnt think nord would do such a big step back.
What do you recommend? I haven’t had one yet and looking
Not sure but I guess earlier or later.
pretty sure you def can for diff cities, it’s just that there are various servers in a given city and OP used to be able to manually select a single server #.
Disable threat protection and make sure to force nordlynx should fix the issue if you also close the ui
They only have very few extension proxies anyway
