You've posted in the HA/CARP/VIPs forum.
Have a look at the OpenVPN forum.You will find (yep, you can click, I made live easy today) many posts about NordVPN over there.
True, most if not all are posting if they have question, view are posting with "works great, this is what you should do".Typically, your VPN should give you a dot opvn file file that looks like :

The remainder goes into the Custom Configuration :
Before you begin, use your favourite web search site, and look up 10 examples that show you how 'others' did it.
Search for NordVPN examples.
with the pfSense version you use, that will be 2.6.0 CE or pfSense Plus 22.05 or more recent.
Find these : what are the identical steps. What are the steps that one example shows, and is absent in the other(s).Also : look at the original Youtube > Netgate channel.
