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"Please, do not flag this package as out-of-date until there's the official release on Github page."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

@annguyen: See the pinned comment. Did you check that the systemd daemon is running?

If it is and you are still seeing that message, at least you are not alone - I experienced the same issue. I wasn't able to solve it myself, nor was anyone here in the community, and NordVPN refused to help on the grounds that they do not support Arch, so I requested a refund and am now happily using Mullvad.

You can view my original description of the problem here and my follow-ups to suggestions here, here, here, and here.

Zombie later followed up with an idea for me to try. I had already given up, so I didn't bother, but maybe it will work for you.

Otherwise you could try contacting NordVPN support, but I suppose they will also be unable or unwilling to help you, in which case I'm sure you could also request a refund.

I can't login NordVPN.

when I type "nordvpn login", it shows "Whoops! Cannot reach System Daemon."

I'm missing something, isn't it?

rsa: try > systemctl restart nordvpnd

HTH.

pretty much broken. Guessing it has to do with the new kernel.

Edit: NordVPN seems to be having difficulties with their OpenVPN servers atm. Suggest using Nordlynx for the time beeing.

I can't connect no matter what. Logging out then in again does not work, uninstalling then reinstalling does not work, the daemon is running and I get the same "Failed to connect to Server #XX" message for OpenVPN and it connects but it's impossible to connect to anything with NordLynx.

Is there a way to specify using only a P2P server in a specific country? The man page says you can use "nordvpn connect P2P", but is there a way to say, "connect US/P2P"? There is no mention of the connect P2P option on the wiki either.

Yo, co-maintainer here.

I've removed the archs arm, armv6h and aarch64, as they seem to have disappeared from upstream.

Suddenly stopped working when using OpenVPN backend and now only works with NordLynx.

Please update this package to 3.7.0-3
