    I updated my nordvpn and unfortunately I think some connection I made led to all my accounts being blocked.
    I also changed a few settings in my nordvpn settings.
    Error message says ID has been blocked.

    You were banned for smega'ing that you were giving out your account login ID and password to "everyone".

    Alright even if I didn't do it?
    I was joking, since the previous system message said don't give out your info to everyone.
    Is this something possible to appeal?

    Those system messages are only shown in your client - other people won't necessarily be seeing the same system messages as you. And so, other people would not know that this is what you meant.

    The team is going to need to discuss this to decide whether this should be a warning, a 30 day ban (for account sharing), or a permanent ban (for account sharing).

    I do want to say, I didn't share my account with anyone, I only sent that smega. That being said, whichever verdict happens I'll accept. Didn't mean any harm. :)

    Hi Heidi! Has the team discussed this yet? It's been around 4 weeks. Is it possible to get an update?

    We are still discussing your case. Please wait patiently, and don't tag staff members. I'll try to get a decision to you soon :D

    we decided to make your ban temporary, and since the duration expired you should be able to connect again now
