Note

If you're using D-Link or Cisco router with its native firmware, you won't be able to run NordVPN on it. Check a list of routers that don't support NordVPN. The tool doesn't support L2TP/IPsec and PPTP protocols anymore. Hence, your VPN router must support the OpenVPN client with or without the server option to set up and run NordVPN. Whether your router supports an OpenVPN client or not, you can find it in the user manual and your manufacturer's website.
