Since the first day I’ve installed the NordVPN and start it, my Internet connection, both wired and wifi, became “limited” after 2-5 minutes and often instantly. I had “spoke” with NordVPN support for 10-12 days by emails and togheter making all possibles type of tests and changes but the problem, they said, must reside on Dr460nized side somewhere, probably in the Kernel.
Before Dr460nized I had Mint Cinnamon for 2 weeks and I never had this kind of issue using the same VPN and the same servers for connect (mostly US, Canada, Spain servers), so I tend to believe the problem is here. In Dr460nized I mean!
I also have to particularly specify that my Internet speed is 2.5Gbps and most of the time remains +/- constant, even when the “limited connectivity” pop-up appears and during all my day browsing. This is my general Internet speed performance, excepting rare moments of drastically drop of speed and (only) twice I experimented a complete cut/stop of the connection, when I had to disconnect-reconnect and start using Internet again. I’m using all the time the wired connection!
