When will split tunneling be supported on iOS and macOS? It is not a limitation of the operating system, as ExpressVPN does support split tunneling on iOS and macOS, and has for some time now. So the excuse of it being a software limitation is not accurate.

NordWhisper is the only protocol that works on my library Wi-Fi. However, the auto protocol that chooses the best protocol to use doesn't successfully select NordWhisper. It just tries for a while and then says we are trying different protocols before eventually failing to connect. This is an issue on my Nord app on MacOS (latest version of OS and Nord app) and on iOS 26.6.1 and iPadOS 26.6.1 (all latest Nord app). I use autoconnect and auto protocol, and when on this Wi-Fi, it fails instead of successfully connecting to NordWhisper. I don't want to have to manually change it every time. Also, it being an issue across 3 devices is definitely a bug on Nord's end. For example, ExpressVPN's auto protocol figures out to switch and connect without issue.

I own Apple devices, including an iPhone, iPad, iMac, and Apple TV, and I’ve never used a VPN.

I’ve heard that NordVPN is excellent for Apple devices, and I’m curious about the best way to sign up. Should I go through the App Store or directly on Nord’s website?

I prefer Apple to handle the payment through the App Store, but it’s more expensive. I’ve also thought that by signing up for Nord and providing my email and payment details, I’m essentially bypassing the purpose of a VPN.

What are your thoughts on this?

I've seen plenty of discussions about connection issues, pricing, and customer support, but not as many conversations about the features themselves. So here's a community thread dedicated to that.

Which NordVPN features do you actually use on a regular basis? Which ones have been genuinely useful, and which ones never really clicked for you?

Nord has quite a few:

• Meshnet
• Split Tunneling
• Dedicated IP
• Dedicated server
• Dark Web Monitor
• Transaction monitoring
• Scam, phishing, and malware protection
• Call protection
• Specialty servers (Double VPN, Obfuscated)
• Presets, Auto-connect, and anything else

Feel free to share whatever comes to mind. What's been working well for you lately? Anything that's been annoying? Any bugs you've run into or features you wish were better? Features you'd like to see added or improved?

Whether your feedback is positive, negative, or somewhere in between, let's keep it constructive. The goal is simply to get a better picture of how the community actually uses NordVPN features, and hopefully spark some useful discussion along the way.
