I had the same issue as dreieck. I believe the solution is to move strongswan package (provides ipsec) from optional to required. Doing this removed the runtime error and made the package function correctly.

@dreieck I opened an issue on the github repository to track it: https://github.com/morpheusthewhite/nordpy/issues/56. Could you please take a look at it and answer my comment?

When I start nordpy, it prints an error message about a missing file ipsec, maybe you miss a dependency?

Also, please do not install to /usr/local/bin/. Please install into /usr/bin/.

Not working. It says "connected" but it didn't change my IP... Absolutely no error visible (when launching from terminal).

works perfectly but the gui is super ugly on gnome.. not sure if it can be fixed

Since the 'official' nordvpn-bin utility is so terrible, memory hog and constantly being updated, I tried the several alternative solutions available on AUR. This is the lightest (Python+TKinter) and respecting of security issues, probably more than the official binary.

Works well on both Xorg and Wayland. Previous issue with font sizes on multi-screen desktops was found to be caused by Xorg config.

For information, in order to get the program working on my Ubuntu based distro I had to comment out lines 3,4 and 5 in 'install.sh' before the script would run, but once I had done that it worked beautifully. Also I tried the AUR package on Artix linux, but that failed to connect to anything, however installing from install.sh in the nordpy-master worked without error, so it is now running on all three of my distros and doing a good job too! Thanks.

Thanks for this package, I like it. I have been having problems with other nordvpn packages, mainly no name resolution, but no such problems with this package, no dns leaks either, I also far prefer the gui option to cli versions.
