Arch Linux User Repository

"Please, do not flag this package as out-of-date until there's the official release on Github page."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

Note from 4.1.0

• Despite the changelog, this version still depends on libxml2-legacy package library.

Note from 4.0.0

• This version requires to logging in on NordVPN again in order to accept/deny new policies regarding data collection. See the Github's release note for more details.

Note from 3.20.2-4

Dependency included as mandatory earlier as community request.

If you're late for the party and only had updated up to 3.20.2-2.1:

• Simply uninstall nordvpn-bin and install again.

If you're coming from Manjaro or e.g another Arch-based distro with no stable libxml2-legacy package just yet:

• No need to upgrade. It's best keeping with the 3.20.2-3 version. But if you already had, then you can downgrade.

Note from 3.20.2-3

There is now a new package from official repositories named libxml2-legacy and with it two fresh considerations:

• Despite the fact libxml2-legacy was included as optional, it is actually a mandatory dependency. This will change on next NordVPN's release if the legacy support remains.

• This release only removes the previous symbolic link and purges the file within NordVPN library directory, otherwise it would result in an error before installation/upgrade.

Note from 3.20.2-2.1

A patch have been implemented due the absence of libxml2.so.2 after package upgrade to 2.14.2. This fix is not useful if:

• You plan to keep your system update to a specific date until NordVPN officially uses the new library.

• You are from a different distribution, which is a Arch-based one with other repositories, and libxml2 is not yet upgraded.

Note from 3.19.1:

The repository's hierarchy has been updated and a slightly divergence comes with it. It was from:

/debian/pool/main

To now as:

/debian/pool/main/n/nordvpn

Any previous commits you may like to try in the future will need a manual mediation to replace old links in favor of the new ones.

Note from 3.19.0:

This version introduces new libraries being used by NordVPN. I have created symbolic links and committed a patch for it not interposing with already existing libraries (like sqlite3). Although this is not a big deal, If you, however, upgraded nordvpn-bin before the fix and noticed some library-related issue from sqlite lately, I suggest reinstalling the affected package.

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

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. If the issue persists, contact our customer support.

Hi! Upstream nordvpn-linux 4.4.0 is out and AUR nordvpn-gui is already 4.4.0, but nordvpn-bin is still 4.3.1. Plz could you bump? If you maintain this via a git repo, an auto-bump (nvchecker + CI push) would keep it in sync. Thanks!

@bananabrain

4.2.0 fixed the issue for me. I hope it will for you as well, if not I suggest you open an issue on their github.

@FGD

Thanks Frank, If they're on the case that's good enough for me.

@bananabrain, although I am not getting the exact same issue, since 4.1.0 I am getting issues with the daemon or something interacting with it. https://github.com/NordSecurity/nordvpn-linux/issues/1035#issuecomment-3314031605
