"Please, do not flag this package as out-of-date until there's the official release on Github page."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

@Neurognostic :

It worked for me, after a bit of --overwrite during install.

Have you installed "wireguard-tools"? This should be a dependency of this package, given that the connection can fail in various ways without it (I have experienced the connection dropping after a fixed amount of time, for instance; there are multiple discussions of this in the comments below.)

I don't know if that still applies to 3.16, but given that this new problem is wireguard-related, that would be the first thing to try imo.

@a3dman Something broke in 3.16.0 for nordlynx/wireguard protocol. 3.16.0 is working fine on a Pop!_OS system I have.

I worked on it for a while, didn't figure it out, and downgraded to 3.15.4.

Is nordlynx on 3.16.0 working for anyone?

a3dman commented on 2023-03-21 16:23 (UTC)

Does the latest version introduce any major changes?

Gamall commented on 2023-03-21 14:19 (UTC)

@ravenbells : you need to update the version in the .SRCINFO as well!

@joehillen , show us how easy it is. Fork the repo, make the changes, and post a comment with your results.

btw, I'm not the maintainer for this aur package.

joehillen commented on 2023-03-20 18:15 (UTC) (edited on 2023-03-20 18:15 (UTC) by joehillen)

@tasty420 None of those look like valid complaints.

1) What's wrong with "mage"?
2) That's perfectly normal for a CI system if you want to support lots of distros. You don't need all of them if you want to build on your own machine.
3) A chroot wouldn't decrease security. If anything, it would increase it (slightly).

tasty420 commented on 2023-03-20 17:31 (UTC)

@FlatBoulders, idk... It would be nice if NordVPN supported Archlinux.

Looking over the repo, I can tell you why I wouldn't want to build it on my local machine:

thoughts?

FlatBoulders commented on 2023-03-20 09:30 (UTC)

Should there be a new AUR package for https://github.com/NordSecurity/nordvpn-linux ?
