For the app version, they might have used any ports. Hence you will need to do one of these steps:

  • Use "Global Mode" in routing settings
  • Change the proxy settings of the app, below is an example of changing proxy settings for LINE:

We have found that, some users don't know which server to use after deciding which region to use.

To make it easier for you, we decide to show region only. Nord will automatically select the best performance server within your selected region for you. These are the details:

  • Location list only shows the regions. Under the hood, there are hundreds of servers within each region. Upon selecting a region, Nord will connect you with the best performance server according to your network condition.
  • If you don't like the connected server, you can always disconnect and re-connect to the same region, you will be connected to a different server.
  • You can repeat above step until you are satisfied.

There are several common reasons:

  • Slow local internet (without VPN on)
  • Certain VPN server location has busy traffic

To troubleshoot the network issues, please follow the steps:

  • Check your local network speed by disconnect the VPN;
  • While keeping VPN disconnected, switch between WIFI, 4G, 5G to find the troubleshoot your network. E.g. if your wifi has poor connectivity, switch to your cellular 4G/5G.
  • Disconnect VPN, switch to another region, and connect;
  • If you like to stay in the same region, try disconnect and reconnect to the same region. Even you are selecting the same region, there are actually hundreds of servers behind a single region. Every time you connect, we will relocate a different server for you.
  • You can repeat above steps until you find the best server for you.

Global Mode: Access everything with VPN. This might slow down some local websites & apps traffic.

Split Mode: Only use VPN when accessing common GEO blocked (China firewall blocked) websites, e.g. Google, Youtube, Netflix etc. When accessing Chinese websites, use local network without VPN.

If you found certain websites or apps can't be accessed, please change your routing mode settings to "Global Mode".

The iPhones have the VPN feature built in. But in order to have VPN service, you need to connect to VPN server and iPhones don't provide the VPN server.

While iPhones provide the option to connect to a VPN server in the phone’s Settings, it is technically not a VPN service and still requires you to connect to a third-party VPN service like Nord.
