<![CDATA[Opera Touch does not support NordVPN Protocol]]>NordVPN on Android has recently switched to sending the user to a webpage to do the log in (as opposed to handling it natively in the app).

If your Android did not set a default browser, then it seems to open its own built-in browser to handle this process, which works.

However, if Opera Touch is set as the default browser, this overrides the native browser, so the login session is opened in Opera Touch.

However, after logging in, NordVPN tries to send you back into its app. This is where the incompatibility comes in.

"Unknown Protocol
Opera Touch was unable to open the link since no application associated with "nordvpn:" protocol was found on your system.

I've also discovered that Opera Touch also does not handle Zoom links/protocols.

Very disappointing.

It works well if I copy paste the link in Chrome app.

Nord tech support just left it at they'll consider this for future updates. Quite frustrating imo, when they've already built-in a native browser, feels like all it takes is to "flip a switch" to stop sending login requests out to external browsers.

I know a few apps that already do this (e.g. facebook/messenger, some reddit apps), but ironically it's an annoyance in those situations.

I've never found a way to specifically and manually associate protocols with apps on Android either.

For now, I just have to switch default browser back to Firefox every time NordVPN mysteriously logs itself out, which is fortunately becoming a rarer occurrence.

How do you associate an app with a protocol on Android? I already tried to reinstall the app but with no success
