Hi @swimmingaquadolphin,

It’s really hard to troubleshoot issues like that without any specific information. Having said that, give the following question a read, it can turn out to be helpful:

Additionally, check the following link - https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tools/digitalocean-vpn-setup

It should help you configure a VPN on your Droplet. It won’t be NordVPN but it can still work.
