There *is* something at the other end - the Nord VPN server.

A VPN is an encrypted tunnel, and since it's a tunnel, it has two
endpoints. You run a VPN client on your PC, your phone, your home
router, whatever, and that client sets up an encrypted tunnel to a VPN
server that's located somewhere else. In this case, it's Nord, but there
are lots of VPN providers out there.

Some, or all, of your Internet traffic enters the VPN tunnel at the
client end, and then it pops out of the tunnel at the server end. Once
out of the tunnel, your traffic travels normally, the rest of the way to
its actual destination. The response from the destination server comes
back to the VPN server endpoint, where it re-enters the tunnel and
travels back to your local VPN client. Once there, it pops out of the
tunnel where it gets handled like normal traffic.

Greatly simplified, but hopefully it makes sense.
