Notes
- Method 1 is simpler and recommended for most users.
- Method 2 uses the official NordVPN Lite client, but only works on supported architectures.
- Method 2 may interrupt remote access, so please use it only when local access is available.
- If one server profile does not connect, try generating or downloading another country/server profile.
- If your NordVPN token is changed or regenerated, you may need to repeat the steps above.
