fair 'nuf. but that 'requires' a: use ... instead. That is, you recommend ....?

That's a perfectly sensible question. But alas, i've tried many different servers and no luck:

AUTH: Received control message: AUTH_FAILED This being the very same username/password pair which allows a login on the NordVPN page

UPDATE3: NordVPN changed stuff as regards OpenVPN access and apparently told no one (not even their support folks!). You must now go to their login page and pursue "manual setup" which apparently ends one with a new username/password pair. But it's not made clear how long (perhaps one session?) these will last. Well, mateys i'm likely to kiss NordVPN goodbye for this. @#$!!! (there's a reddit post about this, forgive me for offering a reddit link but there's little else here it is: https://www.reddit.com/r/nordvpn/comments/14l7r7k/anyone_else_unable_to_login/ )
