Once every few hours, NordVPN completely blocks all internet traffic (even direct IP traffic is blocked, e.g. ping 1.1.1.1). It seems to lose connection to the VPN server it was connected to, but is unable to establish a new connection. This has been an issue for longer, but the fix was to just restart the nordvpnd.service. This no longer works. I have found a workaround which I posted here:
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is it also caused by this same DNS failure or is it something else?
(Is this the right place to post this?)
