The only disadvantage I can see with this script is in case of a disconnection of the VPN service to turn the Airport back on again requires a Manual Force Quit of the Script then once VPN is restored the script to be run in this case from the Mac dashboard again.

The script will also turn Mac Airport off which I use for internet access and if Utorrent is running close it or within 1/2 second.

The NordVPN native application is the recommended option for connecting to NordVPN servers on your Windows PC.

This seems to be the standard behaviour in Windows, MacOS, and Ubuntu, and is, in my opinion, a massive security flaw: Once a VPN connection has been enabled, the OS should NOT switch back to an insecure connection until the user has been notified. Installing NordVPN on Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 This article is available in French, German, Italian, Korean, and Spanish. Unfortunately, you run the risk of exposing your real IP if your VPN connection drops since your torrent client will immediately reconnect using your default, insecure network connection. Using a VPN connection is a popular way to hide your IP address when downloading torrents.
