"Please, do not flag this package as out-of-date until there's the official release on Github page."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

I am informing of the same issue. I had an earlier version installed today before I updated to 3.8.8. The earlier version which was installed with the following process and I was able to connect to the VPN even after a restart.

For info on how I got it running which may be helpful in resolving this.

Commands were entered in the following order.

sudo yay-S nordvpn-bin

sudo systemctl enable nordvpnd.service

sudo systemctl start nordvpnd.service

I have also tried the pinned comments command "sudo systemctl enable --now nordvpnd"

And I get the following "A dependency job for nordvpnd.service failed. See 'journalctl -xe' for details."

I see @nimbusflow has the same I didn't see the drop down show more option. I have the same.

Hi, +1 loiccoyle. Creating the nordvpn group removes the error message on installation but it is not possible to use the application (error with the service).

With the 3.8.8-1 version I'm also having trouble getting the nordvpn service to start, I suspect it has something to do with the error msg I got during installation:

/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/nordvpn.conf:1: Failed to resolve group 'nordvpn'.
error: command failed to execute correctly

nimbusflow commented on 2020-12-17 19:08 (UTC) (edited on 2020-12-17 20:13 (UTC) by nimbusflow)

Installed 3.8.8-1 and now I can't connect because the system daemon can't be reached.

This is what I see in journalctl after I tried to run the enable nordvpnd command. Any thoughts?

I couldn't login with 3.8.7 and 3.8.6 versions. It worked with the 3.7.4 but I couldn't connect to any server using NordLynx technology, only OpenVPN. The version that everything worked 100% for me is 3.8.5. I went to "view changes", downloaded version 3.8.5, extracted, cd to that, installed with makepkg -si. Everything working.

Zeros commented on 2020-12-05 02:03 (UTC)

On version 3.8.7 I am completely unable to login, tried restarting the nordvpnd service, restarting, deleting my .config/nordvpn dir, no matter what it asks for my email and password, gives me the \|/m and then says, "Whoops! We're having trouble reaching our servers. Please try again later. If the issue persists, please contact our customer support." I've made sure my account is still good, and the app on my phone is working just fine.

I'm make version 3.8.6 running.

@esdaniel , I just followed those steps: Downloaded 3.7.4 from https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=nordvpn-bin&id=fec23502d0d729d69cfcce617ba32d7aa586052e , extracted, ran mkpkg, and installed. Then you must terminate the existing nordvpnd process. Then it will work as before.

TrimTab: try Tor browser and see if you get same. If you don't, then perhaps check preferred browser's language settings and delete all cookies beforehand.
