Can't start DVDFab when using VPN

[martico]

I'm using DVDFab x64 11.0.0.7 downloaded directly from DVDFab.cn on a Windows 10 machine.

When trying to start DVDFab while connected to a VPN (NordVPN) I get the splash screen and the following message:

"Failure connecting to DVDFab Server! Your Host File has been modified..." and DVDFab won't start.

I have checked the hosts file and there are no entries relating to DVDFab, in fact nothing at all beyond the standard Microsoft example comments.

DVDFab does start properly when there is no VPN connection.

Attached is dvdfab_internal.log; please advise.

Nord will cause portions of DVDFab to be blocked from some of their servers. If you duplicate the settings shown in the capture, DVDFab should work fine, does for me. Try a different Nord server.

Thank you ... sorted!

Glad to hear that. The CyberSec thing is new and overly aggresive. If you have Malwarebytes or similar you don't need it.

Yup, for completion I should have said it was CyberSec I turned off as in your picture. Also that I re-tested with various different servers in different countries. All successful.

Thanks again signals.
