The requested address is not valid in its context

[korin]

Running version 5.0.0.1

I get the error message below when I open the application while connected to NordVPN:
 
ERROR  We are sorry, but there was an error.
Message: Retry failed after 6 tries. Retry settings can be adjusted in ClientOptions.Retry or by configuring a custom retry policy in ClientOptions.RetryPolicy. (The requested address is not valid in its context. (homeupdater.patchmypc.com:443))
The last part of the message in parentheses repeats 5 times, and then the entire message repeats 5 times again

BTW, the dialog width seems to be based on the width of my display, which is 5120x1440, making it far too wide. On a normal-sized display the dialog might be more narrow, but the length of the message would probably make it exceptionally tall

I also got an error referring to spam filtering when I try to submit this post, so there is apparently an IP filter in place which has NordVPN on its blocklist. I tried to work around the filter by adding the PatchMyPC executables to a split tunnel rule, but the connection is still blocked, I'm guessing because the app uses .NET to create the connection and so the split-tunnel rule on the parent executable doesn't apply. I also used a dedicated IP address leased through Nord, and this is blocked as well - suggesting that all Nord (or maybe all VPN) addresses are blocked, not just addresses associated with suspicious activity.

Only fully disconnecting from the VPN allows the application to work.
