NordVPN and Sky Fibre
I've noticed that once my NordVPN is active, the connection to my computer (ethernet) drops any now and then. Browsing stucks for a few seconds, making the navigation quite tedious.
This doesn't happen when the VPN is not active.
Has anybody had similar issues with Nord or other VPN while having full-fibre broadband?

Re: NordVPN and Sky Fibre
I'm having this problem right now.
I've just had fibre 150 installed this morning and it works fine with NordVPN switchd-off, but the connection speed drops through the flaw to be so much worse than my previoud copper broadband when NordVPN is switched on.
Is there a solution anybodyt please?

Re: NordVPN and Sky Fibre
@FoxGenius given there is no difference to the Sky network on the data passing over the VPN or directly the issue is most likely within NordVPN's network.perhaps using a different node might help or simply only use the VPN for traffic where you need to spoof a different country to get round geoblocking? The security gains of using VPNs on a domestic connection are pretty minimal.
