"Please, do not flag this package as out-of-date until there's the official release on Github page."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



Note from 3.17.4v:

The previous bug exposing DNS servers is fixed.



Note from 3.17.3v:

Caution! This version needs heed while using it and should be avoided. I strongly advice downgrading to 3.17.2 and wait for a new version or patching. Some big problems are:

  • There's DNS leak present. Your original ISP servers can be exposed, as reported already on #343 issue.

  • Unable to connect on nordvpn servers. Your journal might show the follow output: networker setting dns: setting dns with resolvectl: setting dns with resolvectl: Failed to set DNS configuration: Could not activate remote peer: activation request failed: unknown unit.: exit status 1

    After restarting resolve with systemctl restart systemd-resolved.service you may get it working again, enough for connecting normally, as reported, but not exclusively an ARM platform issue, on #342.

Also huge thanks for the community warnings in prior comments before I could've noticed all.


Note from 3.16.2v:

As the published note from the version above has mentioned on Github's page:

  • Logging in with a username and password is no longer available in the terminal.

Please, consider using a token to logging in from now on.


Note from 3.16.0v:

The 'countries.dat' may differ between versions. Be aware to remove the file before upgrading the 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

@Archanfel80HUN I already have group and service running. The problem I am running into is, that when I get the "Choose an application to open the nordvpn link"-prompt and select NordVPN (or alacritty, or nordvpnd, or xterm, or terminator) in the browser, nothing happens. So I can get the link and login in the browser, but can't open the nordvpn link in the cli to finalize login.

Is there a manual way to open the link in the cli?

Archanfel80HUN commented on 2021-12-17 23:36 (UTC)

@joshfiveo Wait! There is two more thing. 1) You have to enable and run the nordvpnd systemd service and make sure that your user is added to the nordvpn group. Otherwise cant save the configuration!

joshfiveo commented on 2021-12-17 23:34 (UTC)

@Archanfel80HUN No success, but thanks for the help. :)

Archanfel80HUN commented on 2021-12-17 23:28 (UTC)

@joshfiveo My default konsole app is 'terminator'

joshfiveo commented on 2021-12-17 23:27 (UTC)

@Archanfel80HUN Would you mind telling me which terminal emulator you are using? I uninstalled uBlock and disabled my pi-hole, but still no success. Maybe NordVPN doesn't play well with alacritty

Archanfel80HUN commented on 2021-12-17 23:20 (UTC)

@joshfiveo I contacted the support, they said this and it works. Firefox and also make sure that you're not using any adblocker for the moment.

joshfiveo commented on 2021-12-17 23:18 (UTC)

@Archanfel80HUN Firefox is not working for me.

I'm on i3 gaps if that makes a difference. I choose the default NordVPN option to open link with, but nothing happens.

Archanfel80HUN commented on 2021-12-17 23:08 (UTC)

Nordvpn login currently not working from chrome (or any chrome variant), use firefox for the auth url, login then the firefox browser will open a cli windows and login the cli app itself, save the nordvpn.conf file too.

@Techi-Joe

Excuse the late reply. Make certain that nordvpnd.socket is enabled on your system

joshfiveo commented on 2021-12-17 09:10 (UTC)

Hey, since an update, it is now not possible to login fully within the cli. It now redirects to the browser, but once logged in there, it want to open a link with the Nordvpn app, which doesn't work with the cli.

Anybody have a way to work around this.

I tried opening the link with nordvpn, nordvpnd and alacritty, but nothing.
