NordVPN Now Respecting Firewall Rules?

I noticed since the last update or two that NordVPN is now respecting my Windows Firewall rules. I've been using Nord for approx 10 years now and it has never once in that time respected my firewall rules, but I believe that was by design as some feel a firewall is not needed when using a VPN. For me however, I have always felt differently so this is indeed great news. Anyone else notice? I'm on 8.2.3.0.

▲ 5 r/Onkyo

EDIT: It absolutely was a PS5 setting. The video transfer rate had to be set to -1. All is working great now on both Onkyo outputs.

So I have a brand new RZ-30 that I just hooked up. Connected my PC, Series X, and PS5 Pro to it. The Onkyo has all three inputs set to 8K Enhanced.

When I use the Onkyos "Main" video output to my tv, 4k 120hz 7 VRR work perfectly fine for my PC and Series X. The PS5 however just goes to the TV's "No Signal" screen unless I change the Onkyo settings to 4K Standard or 4K Enhanced. Problem with that is, doing do disables both VRR and 4K 120hz from working on the PS5.

This is what is confusing me. If I switch to using the Onkyos "SUB" video output, the PS5 functions as intended when set to 8K Enhanced. If I go back to the "Main" output, it stops showing video for the PS5 again even though I can still hear the audio.

Does anyone know what is causing this? Do I have a bum port on my Onkyo or....? All of the same exact cables and settings were used for both video outs. I did also try swapping cables around and no go. Don't know why the PC and Series X both work 100% with VRR and 4K 120hz in the Main port, but just the PS5 doesn't. Like I said. Same cables. Same settings across the board. PS5 works great with one output but not the other. PC and Series X work great on both outputs.
