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.

Hi,
I have my HybridVPN setup with NordVPN, everything works as expected however sometimes the connection will fail after a period of time and I'm required to login to the router interface and disable and then re-enable HybridVPN which gets the connection back up & running. Is it possible for the router to do this automatically if an active VPN connection drops out?
maallen, distance (read ping) and server load are important to maintain a steady and fast VPN. For NordVPN go to this link: https://nordvpn.com/servers/tools/. Click on advanced options to tailor the type of VPN connection that you want and it should give you a recommneded server based on the NordVPN algorithm-this can and will change based on the above factors. You may have to experiment with different servers to find the best connection for your location. Hope this helps.
Gents,
Is Hybrid VPN availabe for PIA subscribers?
Thank you!

- Not exactly, you have the option to block traffic if the VPN disconnects so you can then connect to a different server to re-establish the connection. I don’t believe it will do this for you. How long is it before the connection drops? Does it consistently do this and same time frame each time?
