NoMachine with NordVPN split tunneling

[sloke123]

I’ve been using NoMachine in a local network only. The server (version 7.10.2) is installed on Windows 10 PC and I access it via an Android client (version 6.1.9) without any issue. But whenever I turn on the VPN, I lose connection to the client. To access the PC even with the VPN on; I turn on the split tunneling and put some NoMachine’s processes on the exclusion list. Here are the processes that I put on the exclusion list.

1. NoMachine Tray Monitor
2. nxservice64.exe
3. nxservice32
4. nxserver
5. nxpost
6. nxplayer
7. nxnode
8. nxlpd
9. nxlocate
10. nxkeygen
11. nxkb
12. nxfsserver
13. nxfs
14. nxexec
15. nxdx64
16. nxdx32
17. nxdisplay
18. nxagent
19. nxd
20. nxclient
21. nxauth

Unfortunately, none of them works. Please help.

Please take a look at the topic here: https://forums.nomachine.com/topic/no-connection-with-nordvpn

I think that topic is different than mine. I do not use it outside of my network. I know NordVPN won’t allow port forwarding. Do I need port forwarding on my internal network?

We checked in our labs here, and we have no problem with connections when NordVPN is also running. Did you try the connection to the correct IP? The MDNS port might be blocked so broadcasting host in the network won’t work in the player, but it is still possible to connect using IP address.

Thanks for the reply. I don’t know what went wrong. I uninstall and re-install the nomachine app from the Desktop and the Mobile. Now I can connect to the Desktop through Mobile. Thank you very much for the help and I am very sorry for the inconvenience.

Glad to know it’s working 🙂 Thanks for letting us know.
