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"Please, do not flag this package as out-of-date until there's the official release on Github page."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

@Klodep If you have a nordvpnsd service - uninstall the app - remove the nordvpnsd service file manually if not removed. Rebuild the package.

@doctorcolossus Restart your system - usually this is due to updated system files. Sometimes it is enough to restart the daemon.

I have the same problem since i have install nordvpn-bin I was not able to connect to NordVPN with my account and my password and i have realised also that my computer was not able to resolve anyone DNS on Firefox and also whith a ping command. The connection is ok but impossible to reach a web site The deamond nordvpnd.service was start and enable but nothing was working for the web. I have remove NordVPN on my computer and the problem was not resolve. I can't acces to the WEB. After to have removed nordvpn from my computer i have checked my service with this command : systemctl list-unit-files --type=service --all nordvpnd.service was disapeared but i saw this one : nordvpnsd.service disabled

I don't now which pakage to remove to delete this service.

I am experiencing the same problem that many here have reported:

$ nordvpn login
Whoops! Cannot reach System Daemon.

However, I did remember to enable and start nordvpnd, as the output of "systemctl status nordvpnd" shows:

● nordvpnd.service - NordVPN Daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/nordvpnd.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)

Has anyone figured out how to resolve this? Thanks...

@Kodep This has happened to me before. The files are immutable, and you can easily change this using:

sudo chattr -i file

So, something like this:

sudo chattr -i /var/lib/nordvpn/data/insights.dat 

and

sudo chattr -i /var/lib/nordvpn/data/servers.dat

The +i flag makes a file read-only in case you are curious.

I have updated based-devil. I have installed YAY and used it to install nordvpn-bin. My problem wiht libalpm seem resolve. But i have some problems with two files when i try to install nordvpn with YAY. I have received theses messages:

nordvpn-bin : /var/lib/nordvpn/data/insights.dat already exist in the file system nordvpn-bin : /var/lib/nordvpn/data/servers.dat already exist in the file system. YAY don't have installed nordvpn To be able to delete them, I have tried to change all permissions on these files with these commands :

sudo chmod a=rwx /var/lib/nordvpn/data/servers.dat sudo chmod a=rwx /var/lib/nordvpn/data/insights.dat

But these operations are not autorised by the system.

@Klodep yaourt is outdated / depricated meaning no longer active developed. (https://itsfoss.com/best-aur-helpers/) I use yay (yet another yaourt) and it works fine and also get the nordvpn-bin working fine. (https://www.ostechnix.com/yay-found-yet-another-reliable-aur-helper/)

Just in your case if libalpm is missing, it should be in the "yayourt -S base-devel" or "yay libalpm" and than base-devel. (You should install base-devel on every arch system for basic stuff if you plan on compiling software from the [[AUR]] Have fun :) (https://www.archlinux.org/groups/x86_64/base-devel/)

@Klodep Update your system Clone the PKGBUILD and build using makepkg

I receive this message when I try to download this package on Arch-Linux
