Synology and NordVPN problem

Networking & security

I installed NordVPN (via openvpn profile) on my synology ds218 and for the past few years it worked flawlessly. This week, it would not connect to the nord servers giving me connection error. I saw that nord was updating their servers, so I installed the openvpn profile of the new “verified” servers. Now it connects but it only sends data but receives nothing. I tried other udp servers with no success. I also tried tcp and this wouldn’t connect at all.
The thing is that an open on profile from another vpn service works flawlessly, so I know the problem is not with my synology settings.

Anyone have a solution?
