Troubleshooting Connectivity Issues
Check Your Internet Connection
The first step in resolving any connectivity issue is to check your internet connection. Ensure that your device is connected to a stable and reliable Wi-Fi or mobile data network. You can also try accessing other websites or apps to verify that your internet connection is working fine.
Restart NordVPN
If your internet connection is stable but NordVPN is not working as expected, try restarting the application. Simply swipe up from the bottom of your iOS screen to open the App Switcher, locate the NordVPN app preview, and swipe it up and off the screen to close it. Then, relaunch the app and see if the connectivity issue is resolved.
Ensure Location Services are Enabled
Location services play an essential role in NordVPN's functionality. To ensure that NordVPN works properly, make sure that location services are enabled for the app. Open the Settings app on your iOS device, navigate to Privacy, and tap on Location Services. From there, locate NordVPN in the list and ensure it is set to "While Using the App" or "Always" for proper functionality.
Update NordVPN
Keeping your NordVPN app up-to-date is crucial for optimal performance and bug fixes. Check the App Store for any available updates by opening the App Store app on your iOS device, navigating to the Updates tab, and locating NordVPN in the list. If an update is available, tap on "Update" next to the app to install the latest version.
Change VPN Protocols
If you are experiencing issues connecting to certain servers or websites, you can try changing the VPN protocol used by NordVPN. Open the NordVPN app, go to Settings, and select the VPN Protocol option. Experiment with different protocols like UDP, TCP, or IKEv2 to see if it resolves the connectivity issues you are facing.
Clear NordVPN Data and Cache
If all else fails, clearing NordVPN's data and cache on your iOS device might help resolve any lingering connectivity issues. Open the Settings app, go to General, and tap on iPhone Storage. From there, locate NordVPN in the list of apps and tap on it. Select "Offload App" to remove the app while keeping its data intact, or choose "Delete App" to remove the app and its data completely. Afterward, reinstall NordVPN from the App Store and see if the issue is resolved.
