The Amazin app used to be functional, but now I am seeing the doggies saying something went wrong. I remived and reinstalled the app, but it remains wonky. BTW, the Amazon search engine has deteriorated to where it is almost worthless because it gives you everything possible based on letter fragments.
I find NordVPN broken. Like at first slightly broken. For instance split-tunneling breaks going to certain websites. One of them being Amazon. It refuses to allow you to access the website. Seems to be a known problem.
You can change your DNS on your browser to fix it. But then at some point you try to activate split tunneling again and the entire thing breaks. Every time I use NordVPN, all of my mouse movements lag. Which is really weird. Why would my mouse movements lag on my desktop OS? It's almost like I'm screen sharing. It started doing this out of nowhere. I can't figure out how to restore functionality. I don't have to be connected to a VPN server for this to happen. Just the app being up and running causes like half a second lag. You can't click anything.
I've disabled almost everything too (Threat Protection Pro, File Transfers, Device Meshnet, Dark Web Monitor). I'm at a loss at this point. I stopped using the software.
You have other issues my friend. The mouse issue is not related, the splitting is normal and yes most popular websites have tracked know vpn splits and for obvious security reasons have blocked access, this is with almost all VPN service not just NrodVpn. You are lumping known issues and your own.
TBH in general I see this with folks that use vpn and download some sketch software then not recognize their it and blame the VPN service.
I've used them and will continue. If you get a dedicated vpn connection then the Amazon solution is solved be that's another rabbit hole that you can easily solve by just looking it up.
Check every couple months on the popular cashback sites to see if they are offering the promotion. Use the link from the cashback site to subscribe and wait for the cashback to be deposited in your account in 1-3 months. Rinse and repeat every year or two depending on your subscription. Or check MS365 Office deal threads when Nordvpn is bundled. Look for people trading Nordvpn key for amazon gc.
I did a search on couple of sites and then a generic search for cashback sites with NordVPN offers but didnt really find anything useful. If i am not asking for too much, can you pls look up and let me know if you find anything?
