NordVPN users report Twitter not working or loading when VPN is active, issue under investigation (workaround inside)

Initially released in 2012, NordVPN is one of the most popular VPN services in the world. Developed by Nord Security, the service is available on almost all platforms.

It operates under the jurisdiction of Panama since the country has no data retention policy and is not part of the Five Eyes or Fourteen Eyes group.

While the app is quite stable, issues such as the VPN not working on Windows 11 and issues with Hulu, Paramount+, Prime and other video streaming services have troubled many in the past.

Having said that, NordVPN users are now reporting that Twitter is not working or loading for them (1,2,3,4,5). Many are angry and wondering if it is an issue on their part or something wrong with the VPN itself.

Some say they tried re-logging into the app and reinstalling it but nothing seems to help. Below are some reports from NordVPN users for whom Twitter is not working or loading at the moment.

I’ve always been able to access your website via VPN previously – Here’s the error when I try. I also see other people complaining today at being blocked via other VPN’s here on Twitter – what’s changed, folks?

Fortunately, NordVPN developers have commented on the matter and said they are working on a fix for the issue where Twitter is not working or loading for some. But they did not share any ETA of when it will be fixed.

Also, we came across a workaround that might help fix the problem. It requires users to switch to another server so they can access Twitter once again.

Interesting that on a regular basis I am blocked from loading Twitter when using @NordVPN especially when using NZ servers. Usually swap to Australian servers and problem solved
