nordvpn-bin causes limited connection

Hello, over the last few weeks Ive tried to fix a problem where when I connect to any server or type of server, my Network Manager shows my connection has having limited connection. I can still use the internet however, and it shows the VPN's ip address when I go to ipleak.net. Ive tried more servers than I can count, Ive switched to kernel 5.4 LTS, 5.10 and 5.11 and they all have the same bug. Ive also spoofed my mac address and it still gives me the same error. I was wondering if someone here would be able to tell me whats wrong, or at least help me to fix the problem. When I dont connect to the VPN, my Network Manager shows a normal connection with no problems.

Re: nordvpn-bin causes limited connection

NetworkManager tests connectivity regularly by trying to access a specific url [1] .

The default url is http://ping.archlinux.org/nm-check.txt , verify if that's accessible from within the vpn connection .
