Hi,
I have migrated from KTS to Premium and have found that Nord VPN only works in very limited circumstances.
Steps to replicate:
- Uninstall Kaspersky Premium
- Download and install the latest version of Nord VPN
- Observe that you have internet access whether or not the VPN is connected
- Download and install the latest version of Kaspersky Premium
- Disconnect and then reconnect the VPN
- Observe that you no longer have access to the internet.
- Uninstall and reinstall Nord VPN and observe that you have access to the internet until you disconnect and reconnect.
The person on Reddit who wrote the linked post below had a similar problem and added that Nord only works until you reboot the computer, at which point a clean install is required.
Kaspersky reports that the Nord network adapter is "disconnected" but I can't find any way to connect it.
Pausing Kaspersky for 5 mins makes no difference.

VPN failed to connect
in Kaspersky VPN Secure Connection

[SOLVED - sort of]. Specifying Wireguard as the connection protocol worked for me (VPN/ Settings/ Protocol/ Wireguard). Using version 21.16.6.467 (b)
Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to any public wifi network
2. Open Kaspersky VPN and select Catapult Hydra as the connection protocol
3. Fail to connect and get the error message described by the OP (image reproduced below).
4. Switch the connection protocol to Wireguard.
5. Note that the VPN will now connect.
6. Move to a different public wifi network.
7. Repeat steps 1-5 above.
This is a recent development and I can confirm that I was able to connect to both public wifi networks using the Automatic setting a month ago. In addition, I found that Kaspersky VPN for Android would not connect to one of the public networks although it will connect to the other. As there is no way to change the protocol in the phone app I am having to use a different VPN on that network.
