NordVPN local network addresses not reachable when connected

I'm using nordvpn CLI on Ubuntu for quite a while but, since a few days, when I'm trying to reach any other client in my local network, I'm getting e.g. the following problem:

$ ping 192.168.178.1

PING 192.168.178.1 (192.168.178.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted

where 192.168.178.1 is my router. When I disconnect from NordVPN I can reach other clients again.

I already read about similar problems being related to the nordvpn killswitch, but it is disabled and I also tried to enable and then to disable it.
I also tried to disable the ufw, and reinstalled nordvpn but that didn't help either.

As it might be helpful, here my nordvpn settings:

$ nordvpn settings

Technology: OpenVPN

Protocol: UDP

Kill Switch: disabled

CyberSec: disabled

Obfuscate: disabled

Notify: enabled

Auto-connect: disabled

DNS: disabled

Might be that it's something quite stupid or easy to resolve, but I'm struggling with that for a few days now.

Same same. I thought maybe it was a bug in the app, but 3.8.5 is the same.

My settings (which worked several nordvpn app versions ago):

Technology: NordLynx

Kill Switch: disabled

CyberSec: disabled

Notify: enabled

Auto-connect: enabled

DNS: 1.0.0.1, 1.1.1.1

Hahaha! Got it! Whitelist your internal. Mine is 192.168.2.xxx, adjust yours accordingly.

nordvpn whitelist add subnet 192.168.2.0/24
