"Please, do not flag this package as out-of-date until there's the official release on Github page."

"Maybe the announcement is delayed, but wait for some other possible forward release, which is patching the previous one before the actual publishing."

If you're seeing the message "Daemon is unreachable, is systemd running?", then one of two things is probably happening.

The nordvpn daemon might not be started
Start it using:
sudo systemctl enable --now nordvpnd

You might not have been added to the nordvpn group
Add yourself:
sudo gpasswd -a USERNAME nordvpn
And then restart in order for the group to be created:
reboot

Version 5.1.0 is causing a 2 minute delay at boot before the daemon starts. Is anyone else experiencing this?

These are the same events with version 5.0.0 installed.

The delay is the same each boot, 2 minutes, so it appears something is timing out before it starts.

@PC2022 This issue comment on GitHub has info on why suddenly localhos, docker container and likely other access was broken with v5 https://github.com/NordSecurity/nordvpn-linux/issues/1527#issuecomment-4561381682

After upgrading to nordvpn-bin 5.0.0 (and then 5.0.0-1) I could connect to any server but there was zero connectivity of any sort. Took me a while to figure out (mostly by installing nordvpn-gui app)

I had to run 'nordvpn set firewall 0' to disable firewall, before any vpn connection would let any traffic through

Is the repo down, or has it changed? Two days saying updates available, but fails connecting to https://repo.nordvpn.com/deb/nordvpn/debian/pool/main/n/nordvpn/nordvpn_5.0.0_amd64.deb

Ignore. It seems to be overly aggressive provider blocking. Disabled all the smart stuff and now fine. (UK - Virgin Media).

Hello, Correct me if I'm wrong, but the update to OpenSSL 3.6.2 and glibc 2.88 might require a rebuild of the nordvpn-bin binary?

Hi, just downloaded the package and I have the same problem as people mention below, when you connect, the connection doesn't work and it leaves you without internet.

I have the same problem as the two comments below

For anybody who is also experiencing this issue, a temporary fix that worked for me was deleting the autogenerated resolv.conf file, but it has to be redeleted every time NetworkManager starts.

I didn't encounter the error before updating, and I havent seen an autogenerated resolv.conf file from nordvpn itself

Hey, I upgraded to 4.5.0 and seemly to not able to access to the internet as well. This could be similar to the problem @croky222 had. Any update on this?

after upgrading to 4.5.0 I can connect to VPN but I lose access to internet. I've tried using different technologies, same issue. I couldn't manage to fix it so I restored to 4.4.0- everything works fine using nordlynx

Don't know what's going on, but I installed 4.4.0 and this is happening:

sarah@MidnightStarSign:~$ nordvpn --version NordVPN Version 4.4.0 (outdated) sarah@MidnightStarSign:~$ NC A new version of NordVPN is available! Please update the app. Connecting to United States #8139 (us8139.nordvpn.com) We couldn't connect you to the VPN. Please check your internet connection and try again.
