"Please, do not flag this package as out-of-date until there's the official release on Github page."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 3.17.4v:

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

@Jessie Your note seems to grossly be based on baseless claims by erkexzcx. When the package was flagged on the 12th it wasn't out of date. 3.3.1 has only been out since the 19th and the package has only been correctly flagged since yesterday. All architechtures beyond x86_64 are extra, if a maintainer wants to add them they can do so at their own will and pace. That said it's fine to create a personal PKGBUILD, that's what I do with a lot of packages, but bashing the maintainer with or without reason isn't nice.

I wrote a note and corresponding shell script to update it by hand. The script is based on this PKGBUILD file.

Please rename this package to just nordvpn, unless there is source code available to be built.

nordvpn-bin AUR package maintainers have a python script, but they don't use it (no scheduled cronjobs etc...). I asked to make me a maintainer - they didn't. I asked to include missing architecture - they didn't.

Trusted users (known as moderators of AUR) has declined any help from me - I already created automated script to fix all issues of this package, but got rejected. Created alternative AUR packages with it, yet got removed by them. I flagged this package as out of date on 2019-08-12, but one of TUs has unflagged it, yet package has been outdated since then. And I also got AUR account suspension threats from them.

So basically when package is very popular among users and been outdated for like 2 weeks already - it's fine. When it misses few unofficial architectures - it's also fine.

Hi, keeps nagging me to update the client. Any chance of updating this to "nordvpn_3.3.1-1_arm64.deb"? thanks for your work

@esdaniel Actually no, I didn't find a fix. The autostart functionality is very fragile and from time to time it stops working.

sfncmp1729: RE: autoconnect, me2 :-( Did you find a fix? I resorted to autostart script until 'we' can resolve this.

Could you please add awk to the list of dependencies?

When I try to connect I see this message: "transport is closing". On my laptop it works fine, but on my Raspberry it doesn't. The daemon is up and running. Thx
