Spotify cuts out when Nord is enabled on my Mac and iPhone So like the title says, whenever I have the VPN running on either my phone or my computer, I cannot access any online features.

You've gone ahead and have decided to get a VPN (Virtual Private Network) service and have chosen one of the best VPN providers that suits your needs. Now what? You connect to it, that's what! And here's how you do it on your Mac.
How does your VPN provider require you to connect to their servers?

How to connect to the VPN with your VPN provider's App
Many VPN service providers like NordVPN, IPVanish, TunnelBear, ExpressVPN, and more, offer applications you can install, which will automatically setup your VPN settings and give you easy access to start/stop your VPN connection. In most instance, you'll be simply required to install the application and enter your account credentials, and then you're up and running.
