After working pretty well for several years suddenly NordVPN is returning an AUTH_FAILURE via OpenVPN, despite the same username/password working to login on their website. Has anyone else suddenly experienced this? Any clues? (other than stop using NordVPN [wink]/-sigh-) Thank you! UPDATE: NordVPN is (apparently) reading as down via https://downdetector.com/status/nord-vpn/map/

UPDATE2: It is starting to indicate a generalized failure of accepting authorization from OpenVPN as one can see from the comments down the page linked above. Has NordVPN quietly pulled a reddit against ‘third party’ agents? (if so, i want some money back - hah, fat chance -sigh-)

    That’s a perfectly sensible question. But alas, i’ve tried many different servers and no luck:

    AUTH: Received control message: AUTH_FAILED

    This being the very same username/password pair which allows a login on the NordVPN page
