Hybrid VPN Setup
Would like to set up the hybrid VPN with NordVPN. I have the OpenVPN file which I copied, as instructed, but my status is "disconnected".
I'm running on an iMac with the current MacOS.

Just installed the latest FW and am now using the Hybrid VPN with NordVPN. A few questions;
1. This should be configured with the nearest VPN server for the best connection/latency correct? The games I play will auto connect me to servers based on my VPN connect and not my real connect.
2. So If I use a VPN server outside of my Geo-Filter radius then I will have to reconfigure the radius, based on the location of the VPN server I connect to, right?
3. Hybrid VPN feature is something that I shouldn't use except if I'm experiencing DDoS attacks frequently since the connection increases latency and VPN servers tend to be slow?
4. Lastly, I connect to Xbox Live from behind a business firewall and I noticed thatmy NAT Type is now strict when I use the Hybrid VPN. It says; 'Double NAT detected'. So far it doesn't seem to affect my gaming...Should I put the Xbox on the DMZ to resolve this?
