I'm relatively new to Linux Ubuntu so please excuse my ignorance. I've searched for this issue but can't find an answer which either applies to my scenario (or which I understand!).

I recently installed Ubuntu 18.04.01 desktop & tried to associate my existing NordVPN to it using OpenVPN.

Based on research I'd done I ran the following commands:

  sudo apt-get install openvpn

  sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn-gnome

  sudo apt-get install network-manager-vpnc

  sudo apt-get install network-manager-pptp

  sudo service network-manager restart

These seemed to work but when I checked my VPN with WHATISMYIPPADDRESS.COM it displayed my full ISP IP details.

Having re-tried this several times I'd appreciate any help anyone can give.

Thanks!
