Adjust NordVPN Settings for V2 Cloud

Purpose

This guide explains the necessary NordVPN settings adjustments for V2 Cloud virtual machines to ensure remote access works correctly and incoming connections are not blocked.

---

Requirements

• NordVPN installed on the V2 Cloud VM

• Administrator access to the VM

• NordVPN logged in with a valid subscription

---

1. Disable Kill Switch

• Open NordVPN → Settings → Kill Switch

• Turn Off the Kill Switch

  

The Kill Switch may block network connections when VPN disconnects, which can interfere with remote access.

---

2. Disable Split Tunneling

• Navigate to Settings → Split Tunneling

• Turn Off Split Tunneling

  

Split Tunneling can prevent some applications or remote connections from using the VPN connection.

---

3. Allow Remote Access

• In Settings, locate Allow Remote Access

• Enable this option
   

  

This ensures that tools like RDP or other remote access software can connect to the VM while NordVPN is active.

---

4. Disable Web Protection

• Go to Settings → Web Protection

• Turn Off Web Protection
   

  

Web Protection may block incoming connections and prevent remote users from accessing the VM.

---

Expected Result

• Remote access and incoming connections remain functional while connected to NordVPN

• Internet traffic is encrypted and routed securely through the VPN

• The VM can be accessed without disruptions caused by NordVPN security features
