I tether my internet with my phone.
I connect with my laptop to it.
If I keep my VPN client (NordVPN) activet, internet does not work.
NordVPN support says to configure VPN in Settings > VPN.
However, I want to use many VPN servers so manually setting each there is not possible.
NordVPN frontend has a nice map where you can choose which VPN server to use.
Internet works with VPN in my phone but not in my laptop when it is using the tethered source.
**Differential condition**: NordVPN Android application does not keep VPN active all the time
- complication: Client laptop cannot get internet in USB tethering when VPN is active in the phone
I forwarded this thread (26.9.2016, 3.10.2016 and 4.10.2016) to the NordVPN support and stated a deep wish to get a manual about using NordVPN internet from phone with your Debian laptop.
Feel free to ask me more details about the test configuration if needed.
Questions of the tech support
1. *Does [Android NordVPN] disconnect when you are browsing or not launching at all?* It disconnects itself when browsing internet.
2. *Can you give more information about our application not keeping connection at all time. How often you are getting disconnect and on what event it disconnects ( i.e. when you lock your phone or when it fall in sleep for not using it).* It occurs daily. It occurs when I lock my phone.
