AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThis is a background helper component that ships inside the NordVPN macOS application, not a standalone tool that can be updated on its own. To ensure this helper receives native Apple Silicon support, you need to update the main NordVPN application to the latest version. Open NordVPN on your Mac, navigate to the application menu, and check for updates — the app will automatically download and install any available native build. Alternatively, you can visit the NordVPN website and download the latest installer, which will ship the native Apple Silicon version on M-series Macs. After updating the main NordVPN app, this helper will be updated automatically as part of the installation.
