I have to disengage NordVPN to send any email. I can reach some webpage links from my incoming email but some I cannot and have to disengage the vpn. I can move inside the webpage once connected and with my vpn engaged.

This what they say on their site: "All ports are open on our servers except SMTP and Netbios for outgoing connections.

For SMTP incoming port you can alternatively use 465 or 587 ports."

Not sure what they mean by 'SMTP incoming port'. But if your mail provider offers smtp service on port 465 (usually SSL/TLS security) or 587 (usually STARTTLS security), then maybe you'll be able to send with the VPN on. Instructions for email seem to be lacking. As for web browsing, they sell a Firefox extension.
