NORD VPN INTERFACE DOES NOT COME BACK ONLINE WHEN INTERFACE DISABLED AND RE ENAB

[Westy69]

Hi all,

Again hope you can assist here and I hope it is a box i have not ticked or at least there is a solution or 2.

I have a WAN connection to my ISP and I also have a NORD VPN interface that I have up and running that all of my VLANS connect through and it works fine. however, Some sites do not like Nord Address pools like NVIDEA for example for downloading drivers etc.
the only way I can get it to download the drivers is to disable the NORD VPN interface and then reboot the router and it picks up that the WAN interface is now running and everything can conect again to the OPEN internet with my wan IP address on the WAn interface.
The Issue is that when I try to re-enable the NORD VPN interface... it changes name and will not take priority to connect through it.

Even if I reboot the router it will still not connect. I have tried Stopping and re running the service and the client also but nothing seeems to work. The only way I have got it to work is to upload my backup of the running configuration that worked.

Hope someone with some brains can help me out.
Cheers
