VPN problems!

Hi everyone, it's been just a month ago that I tried NordVPN and I'm not using it anymore but during my google searches I noticed that my results are in Deutsche, so I checked my IP address and I discovered that I'm connected to a German server. I tried different things

  • Reset the modem
  • Contact the NordVPN assistance
  • Removed the NordVPN app from my MacBook
  • Deleted every VPN services
  • Deleted the preference.plist file as suggested here: apple stackexchange
  • Edited the preference.plist file as suggested here: apple stackexchange2


But none of those solution work. These are the result of the commands suggested in the above mentioned link:



I really don't know what to do... can anyone help me?


My MacBook is a 14'' M1Pro version 12.3.1 Monterey

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.3

Two things:


1) Go to System Preferences->Network, select your service (Wifi or Ethernet), click Advanced... and the click each of DNS and Proxies, and tell us what you see or if possible post screenshots.


This will tell us if your network access is being rerouted through somewhere it shouldn't.


2) Please run Etrecheck and post its full report here. Use the "additional text" button and paste the report into the text box.

This will tell us, among other things, it there are still some remnants of that vpn software on your system
