What to Do When NordVPN Is Down

NordVPN failures are rarely all-or-nothing, which is why the account page usually looks fine while nothing connects. The three parts fail separately: the client's ability to authenticate, the server network itself, and individual protocols. A connection that hangs at 'Connecting' while the website loads normally is almost always a server or protocol problem rather than an outage of the service.

Before assuming an outage, switch protocol (NordLynx to OpenVPN TCP, or the reverse) and try a different country. A protocol-specific or region-specific failure is by far the most common shape, and both are worked around in seconds. If every protocol and several regions fail while nordvpn.com loads, that is when the problem is upstream rather than local.

Worth ruling out on your side: an expired subscription presents as a connection failure rather than a billing message, and a stale client can fail against rotated server configs. Both look identical to an outage from the client's point of view.

NordVPN Status Page vs PulsAPI

Consumer VPN providers generally publish coarse status: a single overall indicator rather than per-region or per-protocol detail. That is reasonable for a consumer product and not much use when your specific server group is unreachable.

PulsAPI checks NordVPN independently (every 60 seconds once it starts moving) and keeps the history, so a short regional failure that never made the official page still shows up as a dip here. The community reports on this page are usually the fastest signal of all for a consumer product at this scale, because affected users notice within minutes.

Live NordVPN Outage Reports

NordVPN Status FAQ

Is NordVPN down right now?

The verdict at the top of this page comes from the latest poll of the official NordVPN status feed and refreshes automatically, so you are not looking at a stale cached answer. PulsAPI re-checks a vendor every 60 seconds whenever it is not fully operational, or has changed status in the last 30 minutes, so an incident is always on the fastest cadence. Vendors that are stable and rarely watched are re-checked every 5 to 20 minutes instead.

What should I do if NordVPN is not working?

Check the component list on this page first to see if your failure matches a known outage. If it does, you can report the issue for other engineers, follow the incident timeline for vendor updates, and run any fallback your app supports until NordVPN recovers.

How do I check NordVPN uptime history?

PulsAPI tracks NordVPN uptime over 30, 60, and 90-day rolling windows. The current 30-day uptime is 100.00%. The 90-day uptime strip on this page is public: no account needed. A free account adds alerts whenever NordVPN changes state, plus 15 days of incident detail; Pro extends that to 90 days and Business to 13 months.

How fast does PulsAPI detect NordVPN outages?

PulsAPI reads the official NordVPN status page. PulsAPI re-checks a vendor every 60 seconds whenever it is not fully operational, or has changed status in the last 30 minutes, so an incident is always on the fastest cadence. Vendors that are stable and rarely watched are re-checked every 5 to 20 minutes instead. Alerts reach Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, or email within seconds of detection.

Does PulsAPI track individual NordVPN components?

Yes. PulsAPI monitors 6 individual NordVPN components, so you can see which service or region is affected instead of a generic "service degraded" banner.

Can I get alerts when NordVPN goes down?

Yes. Create a free account and subscribe to NordVPN: the free plan covers three services with unlimited email alerts and no monthly notification cap. Paid plans lift the monitor limit entirely (Pro and above do not meter how many vendors you watch) and route the same alerts into Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty and webhooks.

How do I report an issue with NordVPN to the community?

Click "Report an issue" at the top of this page, pick the issue type and severity, and optionally add your region and a short note. Reports are anonymous and help other engineers spot NordVPN problems early. Official status pages often lag real incidents by 10 to 20 minutes.

Is there a free way to monitor NordVPN?

Yes. The free plan covers 3 monitored services with unlimited email alerts, permanently, so NordVPN plus two more costs nothing. Every new account also opens with a 30-day Business trial (unlimited monitors, Slack alerts, SLA reporting) with no credit card.
