I have some questions. So I just got myself Nord VPN an hour ago. I am struggling to use it. I logged in and clicked around and found out that I have to download an app for my Windows 10. So I did. Then I installed and opened it and after more clicking around, I am now connected to Estonia. I have some question.

1) Is there any button I need to click FROM THE NORD APP itself to open a special browser so that I am now in Estonia or can I use Chrome as usual?

2) if the answer is use Chrome as usual, why is it that when I type 'Where am i?' in Chrome, it still shows my real location instead of somewhere in Estonia? I mean... isn't the Nord VPN supposed to fool the browser into thinking that I am in Estonia? If I use Dot VPN (Chrome extension I got for free) and connect to France and I type where am I, Chrome will really show that I am in France. Doesn't Nord work the same way??????

Please don't laugh at me. TQ.

I am no expert but,

1) no need. once you are connected using the app, your whole laptop is vpn-ed.
2) you check the location by using IP. Google can use other method to determine your location, so that doesn't mean you are not behind a vpn.

You can wait for other expert for more accurate answer.

Try google "what's my ip" and check that IP is Malaysia or Estonia. If still Malaysia then something not set correctly.

Read Help > FAQ in NordVPN website, it explains a lot and will make you smarter too.

Check ipconfig
