If you want to see the change between newer versions just check the Github page.

Note from 3.16.0 Version:

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

@zencefil, not with the package, this looks like some weird stuff from NordVPN itself https://www.reddit.com/r/nordvpn/comments/jkzxue/anyone_else_find_it_strange_that_nordvpn_app_is/

After installing this version, I ran "nordvpn login" and got the following output:

A new version of NordVPN is available! Please update the application. Continue in the browser: https://mad4todo.com/v1/users/oauth/login-redirect?attempt=6db0c314-7700-47dd-a262-7ea517014fd3

This URL clearly does not belong to Nord - is something wrong with this package?

Either 'libtelio' errors or issues with nordlynx technology not detecting a network interface are being experienced despite the presence of functional interfaces. Mysteriously, "libtelio" errors in daemonlog.txt have disappeared, and today interface errors. Invoking daemonlog.text,

$ sudo journalctl -u nordvpnd > /home/"user"/Desktop/daemonlog.txt

These issues are specifically with NordLynx; openvpn technology has not been problematic (although now - 04/29/2023 - it is also now rejecting a udp protocol).

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=285071

I re-duplicated these errors on a newly configured archlinux box home video server today,and have two different ISPs. This problem is not ISP related or related to a specific or idiosyncratic arch installation.

Nord has referred us to the AUR community. Any assistance or criticisms would be appreciated.

Note:(04-29-23) Nordlynx "functional" now after update; protocol tcp(?) only. This makes no sense to me since Wireguard's code relies upon udp (user datagram protocol), not tcp. So is this a novel development? There are at least two projects that explore tcp tunneling in Wireguard. Tcp is traditionally less than ideal for larger packets. Example of this Nordlynx tcp connection:

$ nordvpn status Status: Connected Hostname: us8585.nordvpn.com IP: 91.196.220.48 Country: United States City: Los Angeles Current technology: NORDLYNX Current protocol: TCP Transfer: 8.66 KiB received, 15.21 KiB sent Uptime: 17 seconds

Using Wireshark, I did in fact verify that Nordlynx is now using tcp.

Shouldn't the license be changed to GPL3 now that the NordVPN Linux client is open-source?

My steps:

  1. run nordvpn login
  2. copy URL
  3. process steps on NordVPN's website
  4. copy URL fron "continue"
  5. run nordvpn login --callback URL

do not forget escape &s in URL

@PC2022 As in many web applications Nordvpn offer the option to log in with a token for us who use CLI, that is provided in page's account and work with 2FA. I wouldn't recommend to use legacy since you can revoke the token if needed and no risk to change or save the password directly on desktop.

PC2022 commented on 2023-04-02 21:30 (UTC)

@gary9872 - thanks for the tips. This would allow me to use 2fa and I may do this future (for long running vpn connections)

In my case though, Im just trying to automate it via bash scripts, so I can spin up very short lived vpn sessions for dev/testing. Id like to avoid manually copying links from browser into terminal

gary9872 commented on 2023-04-02 21:10 (UTC)

@PC2022 I didn't know there was a legacy option till today after I already managed to do the web thing for a headless machine.

You can login into a headless device, copy the link provided, run in on another machine that has web browser, (with fully enabled javascript) then copy and paste the resulting nordvpn:// url into "nordvpn login --callback <url>" on the headless machine.

* make sure to whitelist your other non headless machine before testing a connection

@a3dman - thankyou! Had to disable 2fa, but I can live with that for now
