How to set up auto-connect on the NordVPN app?

Introduction

This article will show you how to enable and configure the NordVPN auto-connect feature on the app.

Requirements

Ensure you have installed the NordVPN app and turned off any additional VPN applications.

Here’s what to do

NOTE: The NordVPN tvOS app cannot configure “Auto-connect” functionality.

  1. Open the NordVPN app and navigate to the settings:
     
    • On Windows, Linux, Android TV, and the NordVPN browser extensions, click the cogwheel icon.
    • On mobile devices, tap the profile icon.
       
  2. Find the “Auto-connect” settings:
     
    • On Windows devices, click “Connection and security.”
    • On the NordVPN browser extensions and the Linux GUI app, click on “Connection” and then “Auto-connect.”
    • On macOS, Android, and Android TV, click “Auto-connect.”
    • On iOS devices, after you tap on the profile icon, you will need to tap on the “Settings” button on the top right, and then you will see the “Auto-connect” settings.
       
  3. Enable the toggle for “Auto-connect.”

    NOTE: If you set up the network you are currently in to be a trusted network in the NordVPN application, auto-connect will not work on it.

    NOTE: For the Linux CLI app, you would need to write this command:
     

    nordvpn set autoconnect on

Additional steps

  • If you want to auto-connect only to Wi-Fi networks or on mobile data, in the “Auto-connect” menu, select “Wi-Fi networks” or “Mobile networks/ Ethernet.”
  • To configure the exact servers you would like to connect to, click “Recommended country” and select the country or specialty servers you prefer.

    NOTE: To set a specific server or country on the NordVPN Linux CLI app, use this command:

     

    nordvpn set autoconnect on <country_code+server_number>

     

    For example:
     

    nordvpn set autoconnect on fr
