Thank you for your support! This package is comprised of a convenience utility to start, stop, list the servers. It also downloads and installs config files from nordvpn. See its help for available commands and usage (sudo nordvpn -h). For any issue or feature request, please do so on https://github.com/nstinus/nordvpn/issues.

This package installs /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/tests/__init__.py which I think should not be there.

It is empty anyway.

And prone to create conflicts with other packages (actually, that is how I encountered it).

Same with /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/tests/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-310.opt-1.pyc and /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/tests/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-310.pyc.

This is part of the content of the generated package:

$ tar tfv openvpn-nordvpn-0.1.41-1-any.pkg.tar.zst
...
drwxr-x--- root/root         0 2020-12-31 11:11 etc/openvpn/client/nordvpn/
...

The generated *.service files are configured to run as openvpn user. But as you can see above, this user cannot access the contents of nordvpn directory. Effectively, it is impossible to connect to NordVPN using this package anymore.

Workaround: change ownership of /etc/openvpn/client/nordvpn directory and of /etc/openvpn/client/nordvpn/credentials.conf file to be accessible by openvpn user.

I am getting this error sudo nordvpn list No configuration files found or files too old. Updating now... Downloading nordvpn config files...

Please, add git in makedepends, it's required when building from a clean chroot!

Tried installing for the first time, but ran into a problem caused by a commit. See below. PS I got it to work. Really not sure how. I leave this comment since it appear something went wrong that might be worth looking at.

Thank you for the script.

It failed updating servers today, most probably due to the changes on NordVPN's side. You might want to change line 87 of your script:

Please let me know if you have a better suggestion.
