I use NordVPN on Mint 19.3 MATE. After installing it and logging into it, I set it to autoconnect using nordvpn set autoconnect on, and most times when I boot up I get a popup telling me it's connected. Every now and then though, I check in the terminal with nordvpn status and it tells me it's disconnected. I manually connect it, and it works fine.
Any suggestions please for how to make sure it connects every time?

My friend used Mint 18.3 Xfce edition, and autoconnect worked perfectly for her. She noticed that after upgrading to 19.3 Cinnamon, her autoconnect no longer connected every time after startup.
My old laptop's out of action at the moment as I've taken it's HDD out to transfer stuff to my new laptop, so I'll report back when I get the old one back together / when I install NordVPN on the new one.

Get rid of the NordVPN client and download their .ovpn configuration files, which can be imported into Connection Manager. The NordVPN client just adds another layer of unnecessary complexity.
Your reply just prompted me to check, and surprise surprise, it's disconnected, even though checking nordvpn settings tells me autoconnect is on (I'm now on Cinnamon). I'll try NordVPN's support section, but will keep the Connection Manager route in mind.
