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"Please, do not flag this package as out-of-date until there's the official release on Github page."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

@Th30 choice is good, I'm happy here for now but will check out wgnord thread from time to time to see how it progresses. Thanks for the info.

After many problems with this package, I opted for wgnord.

@mmt84 I have set protocol UDP still doesn't work

@P31314

You should try changing the protocol you use. It may or may not solve your problem.

nordvpn set technology NordLynx/OpenVPN nordvpn set protocol UDP/TCP

Heyho, I am at an airport and I get "We were not able to fetch your account data. Please check your internet connection and try again. If the issue persists, please contact our customer support." someone an idea where the problem could lay? even if it is just for tthe next time

Any chanche to get fixed the "account expired" issue? I am now using 3.7.4 as 3.10 does not work anymore. However it was working around 4 weeks ago...Strange

@Poilrouge

I have had exactly the same problem with nordvpn-bin (your account has expired). Your solution worked for me too although I did have to install the dependency ipset before I could continue with the build.

Thank you for explaining your solution so fully, it makes it much easier to follow.

@Poilrouge It now works after following your instructions. Thank you!

@rok.lesjak

So I've been adressing this same issue with the nordvpn help center. They made me uninstall the client and install the 3.7.4 version, which works. Been told to wait for the next version of the client to get back up to date (was at 3.10.0).

To downgrade to 3.7.4 from the AUR, I used:

sudo pacman -R nordvpn-bin
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/nordvpn-bin.git/
cd nordvpn-bin
git checkout fec23502d0d729d69cfcce617ba32d7aa586052e
makepkg -f
sudo pacman -U nordvpn-bin-3.7.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
sudo systemctl restart nordvpnd.service

After running command: "sudo nordvpn connect" I get output: "Your account has expired. Renew your subscription now to continue enjoying the ultimate privacy and security with NordVPN."

My account and subscription is active. Why I'm getting this error?

I have already tried reinstalling and relogging.
