I've setup NordVPN via OpenVPN config on my pfSense router, but it will not connect. I followed this how-to doc exactly and (TMK) did not miss anything:

https://support.nordvpn.com/Connectivity/Router/1626958942/pfSense-2-5-Setup-with-NordVPN.htm

However, the VPN is in a "(pending)" state for both Local Address and Remote Host, 0 bytes sent/received, service is running. Here are the most recent logs:

    Maybe your ISP is blocking VPN services. Have you tried suggestions in nordvpn.com/blog/isp-tracking ?

  • Good point, thank you. I am able to use NordVPN on all my endpoints, so does that mean my ISP isn't blocking it...? I will check the link. :)

  • Try using TCP with the 443 port instead of 1194 as specified in the how-to-doc link you provided
