Please help to block nordvpn, thanks

hi.

i already setup a network that blocked youtube and other rubbish websites which i wasted my life on.

but a friend share his nordvpn with me.
vpn could be useful e.g. great firewall or other political reasons so i accept his offer.

now sometimes i use nordvpn to overcome
the de-youtube network.

the de-youtube network is complex i am not discussing here, it consist of timed plugs.

the ONLY question i wanna ask is how can i
block nordvpn android app or openvpn client in win10.
ps the connection is internet to brumew to tplink to phone/pc.

thank you

please help!

if the nordvpn is solely by me,
i will enable 2fa using yubikey and lock it away,
or use a 20 digit random password. but my friend
seems want me waste my time instead. thankyou.

You can try blocking all the VPN ports, including for NordVPN, via LuCI β†’ Firewall β†’ Traffic Rules:

hi,
it’s hard for me a layman to block the ports.

however, i got a solution now.
for nordvpn:

the android app sign in need access to n-apps1.com or n-apps2.com,

the desktop win10 need go to nordvpn.com to obtain the tcp config file or the nordvpn.exe

so i blocked these 2 in the tplink, and also use adblock for brumew.

now i am more free from internet addiction.

thanks
