Nord VPN made my Internet Unuseable
For a couple of years, I've been using Tunnel Bear VPN, which has worked pretty well. I wanted to experiment with a different product, so I chose Nord, which is highly rated. I paid for one month and began trying it out. It worked very well during most of this period. Then, one day, I couldn't get on the Internet. I spent about an hour on the phone with a technician, who tried hard to find the problem, but was unsuccessful. I had previously tried shutting Nord off, but that didn't restore the Internet. Finally, I decided to uninstall it completely and voila! The Internet is back in operation. I restarted my tunnelbear VPN and all is back to normal. I'm glad I only paid for a month with Nord. I was ready to buy a year's worth.
As a bonus, removing Nord also fixed my Yahoo mail account. Since I had installed it, I couldn't reach my inbox. I was stymied because I thought just shutting it off should have been sufficient. No, it needed complete uninstallation. Anyhow, all's well that ends well.
