I am using NORD latest.  When I activate the Tixati internal proxy settings or use the Nord app, I loose connections. I have a second computer also running latest Tixati with no problems.  I have tried many things and have come down to that it is something in Tixati.
My DHT works fine with no VPN but as soon as I enable as above...No connecting   DHT says starting - waiting for network port.
.
On another issue, why have I always gotten cannot connect to assigned port on both computers?
.

TIA
