Ubuntu 18.04.1 NordVPN does not operate correctly
I'm relatively new to Linux Ubuntu so please excuse my ignorance. I've searched for this issue but can't find an answer which either applies to my scenario (or which I understand!).
I recently installed Ubuntu 18.04.01 desktop & tried to associate my existing NordVPN to it using OpenVPN.
Based on research I'd done I ran the following commands:
sudo apt-get install openvpn
sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn-gnome
sudo apt-get install network-manager-vpnc
sudo apt-get install network-manager-pptp
sudo service network-manager restart
These seemed to work but when I checked my VPN with WHATISMYIPPADDRESS.COM it displayed my full ISP IP details.
Having re-tried this several times I'd appreciate any help anyone can give.
Thanks!

Basically I entered the commends (above); clicked on 'Add VPN'; selected "Import from file"'; & selected the NordVPN ovpn file. Viewing the generated VPN (via the desktop GUI) shows the 'Gateway' address has been filled in; the 'Authentication Type' is set to 'Password'; & the CA certificate 'pem' file has been correctly picked up. (continued below)
– Martin McDonald
Sep 5 '18 at 8:40
I entered my supplier name & password into the dialog box & chose 'Store the password for this user only'. I saved this config & then enabled VPN. the VPN lock icon displays in the top menu bar (which implies the VPN is working) but when I browse to whatismyipaddress.com it still shows my normal ISP details.
