   C/O Tim Tremblay: Tim, I presently reside in Indonesia and my NordVPN is being detected/and access denied by ‘Acorn TV’ (to which I am a subscriber). I am not a computer savy person, but have been told that ‘acorn tv’ is only accessible through NordVPN servers: US 605-608. What is the easiest way to connect to one of these servers from Indonesia? I realize this question is well below your pay grade, but I long to again have access to ‘Acorn tv’. Thank you for your assistance Tim!

     Hi Bob. If you’re on a Mac, click on the menu icon (top left of your NordVPN client) and then on the Server List menu item. Once the list of servers is visible on screen, which is sorted by country first and by server number second, simply scroll down until you see one of your servers. You may need to scroll for a bit as NordVPN has a lot of servers 🙂

     If you’re on a PC, click on the Countries button in the top left of your NordVPN client. Once you see the list of countries, scroll down to the United States and hover your mouse over it. To the right you’ll see a button with three horizontal lines. Click it to bring up a list of all US servers, then scroll down until you find your server numbers.

     I would also suggest you favorite your servers by clicking the heart icon next to them. You’ll then be able to access them much quicker through the Favorite Servers menu item on a Mac and My Favorites menu item (a submenu of Countries) on a PC. Hope this helps!

   When I first started using Nord VPN, some months ago, there was a list of server type to choose from. P2P, double VPN, obfuscated etc. To try things out I selected obfuscated, which seemed to function ok. I now find that I no longer have a list available to choose from, the only choice is obfuscated. Any suggestions on how to rectify this.

     Hi Wally. At some point over the last few months, the NordVPN client interface has changed a bit. As you’re experiencing, the server list now shows either obfuscated servers or other server types, but not a mix of both. I’m assuming this change was done so that people who need to use obfuscated servers don’t accidentally connect to one which isn’t.

     If you go into your NordVPN client’s advanced settings, you should see a toggle or checkbox called “Obfuscated Servers.” Turning it off will take you out of obfuscated mode, and the server list should once again show all the P2P, Dedicated IP, Double VPN and Onion Over VPN servers.

   Great article Tim .
   How can find out what cities Nord VPN has their servers in the US ?
   For instance, do they have on any in Nevada ? Las Vegas ?

     Hi Milan. Thank you, I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the article.

     Unfortunately NordVPN does not list the cities in which it operates servers, at least not that I have been able to find (and believe me, I tried). They only allow you to pick servers based on the purpose (ex: P2P, obfuscated), load, country and distance to your current location. Short of actually connecting and using a website like https://mylocation.org/ to see where you have connected to, there is no way to get the cities.
