NordVPN suddenly not working with OpenVPN? UPDATE: NordVPN maybe down currently. by theophrastus in c/[email protected]

UPDATE3: NordVPN changed stuff as regards OpenVPN access and apparently told no one (not even their support folks!). You must now go to their login page and pursue "manual setup" which apparently ends one with a new username/password pair. But it's not made clear how long (perhaps one session?) these will last. Well, mateys i'm likely to kiss NordVPN goodbye for this. @#$!!! (there's a reddit post about this, forgive me for offering a reddit link but there's little else here it is: https://www.reddit.com/r/nordvpn/comments/14l7r7k/anyone_else_unable_to_login/ )

That's a perfectly sensible question. But alas, i've tried many different NordVPN servers and no luck:

AUTH: Received control message: AUTH_FAILED

This being the very same username/password pair which allows a login on the NordVPN page

After working pretty well for several years suddenly NordVPN is returning an AUTH_FAILURE via OpenVPN, despite the same username/password working to login on their website. Has anyone else suddenly experienced this? Any clues? (other than stop using NordVPN [wink]/-sigh-) Thank you! UPDATE: NordVPN is (apparently) reading as down via https://downdetector.com/status/nord-vpn/map/

UPDATE2: It is starting to indicate a generalized failure of accepting authorization from OpenVPN as one can see from the comments down the page linked above. Has NordVPN quietly pulled a reddit against 'third party' agents? (if so, i want some money back - hah, fat chance -sigh-)
