The first thing you need to do is completely un-Install Nord VPN.
Uunfortunately, they are SCUM and do not provide a complete un-installer.
The best you can do for now is move the App the the Trash, and after a Restart, the Trash can be emptied.
A virtual private network, or VPN, is a private connection over the Internet from a device to a specific network. VPN technology is widely used in corporate environments. If you need to be "present" on an institutional network, a VPN is a great tool for accomplishing this. It is generally issued and controlled by the institution.
Almost all other uses are a SCAM. There is generally no need for you to have a private (and almost always MUCH slower) connection to a VPN vendor's Network, except to make it easier for them to harvest your data to sell. If you are behind a Router you control or Trust, there is NO security advantage whatsoever in using a VPN. Your connections are already encrypted in most cases.
If VPN vendors just stopped there, it would be bad. But many of these packages also insist on scanning all your files, non-stop, -- nominally looking for viruses, but who knows for sure what data they are harvesting. Their non-stop file reading punishes your computer's performance in the process.
Some also break into your other secure connections so they can be FIRST to examine your data, often leaving your Mac MORE vulnerable to attack.
What VPN service to use?
DON'T use VPN services
