NordVPN Threat Protection Pro – blocking websites and apps on Windows PC

Answer

This issue happens because Threat Protection Pro blocks some websites and apps by mistake. It checks DNS and internet traffic, so sometimes normal apps look unsafe.

Try these steps:

Turn off Threat Protection Pro
Open NordVPN
Disable Threat Protection Pro
Check if the website or app works
If it works, this feature was the problem

Check antivirus conflict
If you use another antivirus (Bitdefender, ESET, etc.), disable it for testing
Or add NordVPN to the antivirus exception list
Do not run two network security tools together

Use Split Tunneling
Add the blocked app to split tunneling
This lets the app bypass NordVPN filtering

Reset DNS
Remove custom DNS in Windows and NordVPN
Try another NordVPN server
Test in another browser

Reinstall NordVPN
Uninstall NordVPN
Restart the PC
Install the latest version and test again

If Threat Protection Pro keeps breaking important apps or websites, keep it OFF. The VPN will still work fine without it.
