NordVPN and getting work

Post by mwroggenbuck »

Hello,

I use NordVPN. When I have it turned on, it appears that folding at home cannot download work. If I turn it off, I seem to work just fine. Since I normally run with VPN turned on, this is a bit of an issue.

Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a fix I can try?

Please post your logs so we can have a look. Did you restart Folding@Home after connecting to your VPN?

No, I did not restart FAH after connecting.

It turns out that this is not going to matter. My (older) GPU is not supported, and there don't seem to any CPU only jobs.

I'd like to help, but it looks like I can't. I will go back to Science United and BOINC.

Thanks for the reply though

NordVPN does not hide them, because they reveal their IP address by direct download and upload.
