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"Please, do not flag this package as out-of-date until there's the official release on Github page."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

I have the same problem and couldn't solve it, I use networkmanager and ufw as killswitch now. I wrote this on the archwiki : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NordVPN#Alternative_Method_:_connecting_to_NordVPN_using_NetworkManager

@sfranchi I had issues too, and I literally had to remove any reference of nordvpn anywhere from my system. As root, type "find / -name nord*" and see what it spits out. There were many locations where nord had leftovers on my system. I removed every directory, old systemd definition, etc I could find anywhere. I then restarted, and re-installed. It appears to be working for me now.

I have the same issue as Archanfel80HUN , but removing the app + config dir and reinstalling did not solve the issue. S

After the upgrade i got this: parsing time "" as "2006-01-02 15:04:05": cannot parse "" as "2006"

Any help?

SOLVED: fully removed the app, deleted the config directory and the systemd service, reinstall and it works now.

@s339 I had this issue I solved it by completely removing the package then restart the system and install it fresh. After that:

$ sudo systemctl enable nordvpnd.service

$ sudo systemctl start nordvpnd.service

And it got back to normal.

@przemub I seem to be having a similar problem to @cipley. Output of systemctl status nordvpndis:

$ systemctl status nordvpnd * nordvpnd.service - NordVPN Daemon Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/nordvpnd.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: activating (auto-restart) (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2019-06-13 12:19:41 CEST; 1s ago Process: 8458 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/nordvpnd (code=exited, status=203/EXEC) Main PID: 8458 (code=exited, status=203/EXEC)

Output of systemd-cgls | grep nord is:

$ systemd-cgls | grep nord | | |-nordvpnud.service | | |-763 /usr/sbin/nordvpnud | -8067 grep --color=auto nord |-nordvpnsd.service |-641 /usr/sbin/nordvpnsd`

The error I get from the recent update is:

$ nordvpn c Whoops! Cannot reach System Daemon.

Any clues? I'm at a loss as to what's going on here. Removing and reinstalling doesn't help.

@cipley

Restart the system. (If you have installed a new kernel version simultaneously, it might have caused the problem.)

If it's not that, paste the result of command systemctl status nordvpnd.

Removed - another change with 3.1
