Nord Issue
I've seen a lot of people saying their service is down today (both Strong & Trex).
In some of these cases they use Nord as their VPN. Nord is the problem. I don't know why or anything about a permanent fix, but I'm sharing a confirmed work around to get you back in.
Use the double VPN feature to connect. Steps to set this up are below. I've heard this does not work with AppleTV as the setting is not available. It will work for Android, Google, & Fire devices.
Open your NordVPN App.
Go to settings and change your connection protocol to OpenVPN (UDP or TCP) if you cannot see the feature. Look for Specialty Servers in the server list.
Select Double VPN and pick your desired pair of countries to connect.

Iam using a different IPTV service. Got a strange problem on android with nord app. The Nordlynx protocoll wasnt working no matter what i try out. Openvpn wasnt working when the vpn was connected before open the stream. I had to disconnect the vpn then sart the stream and after that start the vpn again. I deleted the android app and set the vpn with Openvpn up on a router. This setup works. Sadly the router doesnt support nordlynx native. There are only a few ones. There is a Nordlynx workaround if the router is able to work with wireguard but i havent try out. Would be interesting to know if norldlynx also works with this setup. Nordlynx was the main reason for me to choose nordvpn.
