If you have Kaspersky, then it's possible that something in the antivirus is causing this issue. Have you tried disabling that and NordVPN to see if any of them could be the issue here?

I tried closing both apps, and making a web exception in kaspersky free didn't work either.
I'll try uninstalling tomorrow.
I'll keep you posted.

Hi Jordanwj, thanks for nudging us on this thread.
Since you've tried what we've suggested so far, I've sent you a ticket so that we can look into this with you.
When you have the chance, check your inbox and we'll go from there.

Same here. Tried all the troubleshooting suggested above ex: disabled antivirus / firewall - no vpn installed.
PC still, refuses to connect via any web browser. Not sure what else to try
I can connect via mac on same network and phone works fine. Like this for a week now as well.

Hey there cafecaderas; thanks for joining the discussion here and sorry you're also having issues with this.
Can you please let me know if your device's OS and your browsers are up to date, using the most recent stable builds?
As a test, could you create a new OS profile on the affected computer and let us know if you get the same results there?
