"Please, do not flag this package as out-of-date until there's the official release on Github page."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

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

Add missing armel architecture. It's for RPI1 and RPI zero devices (devices with armv6 architecture).

It's also provided by NordVPN: https://repo.nordvpn.com/deb/nordvpn/debian/pool/main/

Please replace wireguard-arch with WIREGUARD-MODULE, as this is provided by wireguard-arch, wireguard-lts, and wireguard-dkms

Anyone else having problems with autoconnect? Any hint on how to solve this issue? Also, I suspect that the killswitch is not working as it should. For example, if I disconnect from nordvpn after a while my downloads resume.

@Martoko That link resolved my issue. If anyone else has the problem, I was needed to install linux headers and select my kernel.

sudo pacman -S linux-headers

Thanks!

martoko commented on 2019-08-03 11:39 (UTC)

@JRO012 I do not have Manjaro installation right now, but a quick Google search revealed the following pages of interest Arch Linux wiki on WireGuard, Blog post detailing how to install WireGuard for Manjaro

@erkexzcx "we" are not refusing anything. Metiis is the one with the power to make you a maintainer, and AFAIK he is not even aware of your comments.

We welcome any suggestions on how to update the PKGBUILD. Examples include jackhistoria's suggestion of adding WireGuard as a dependency and your suggestion of creating a script to automatically update. Both suggestions have been implemented.

In the future, please refrain from general statements, such as "they don't even know how to maintain this", and instead highlight specific issues, such as "why isn't wireguard added as a dependency".

erkexzcx commented on 2019-08-03 11:12 (UTC)

@JRO012 they don't even know how to maintain this. It was described by NORDVPN about new requirwd dependencies of new release, but they refuse to help me update this PKGBUILD.

JRO012 commented on 2019-08-03 10:38 (UTC)

Very new to all this and I have an error. When I try to Nordvpn set technology NordLynx, I get "Missing NordLynx kernel module or configuration utility." I have wireguard-dkms and wireguard-tools installed. Any help is appreciated (also if this isn't the place to request help, let me know and I'll delete this post).

@erkexzcx what I meant to say was that I am a co-maintainer. I have written a script like you talked about and I have set it to run daily. If I have missed anything in my script feel free to make a pull request, otherwise the problem of the package being constantly out of date because of minor changes should be fixed now. Thank you for offering your help.
