All the sudden, Nord is screwing up. I can successfully connect, but firefox says server not found. Doesn't matter which server in Nord, the killswitch is not on, and it doesn't matter which protocol. If I disconnect from Nord, the internet works fine. When I connect, it doesn't. I have nord on my phone and it's not causing any issues there, just on my pc running linux mint. Can anyone help?
I've been using Nord VPN for awhile now and when it comes to the Malware detection, I'm curious what people think about it overall. I've noticied it detects things that don't get notcied by Windows Defender and I;m not sure if its truly malware or a false flag that the application is detecting. Has anyone noticed Nord being more likely to find false flags or have you been happy with the feature?
Hi there, with an active NordVPN subscription I’ve managed to watch different streaming platforms in accordance with their respective country offers, however, I keep noticing that several platforms suppress or just ignore my VPN.
I’m mainly trying some Georgian TV streams, some straight up pop up message like “not available in your country” (despite being connected to Georgian IP from NordVPN) and some just keep buffering endlessly.
Is it possible to somehow deflect this? Are there any tricks I should know?
Occasionally even with NordVPN on startup, it will sometimes get sit on "connecting" without ever connecting to a vpn until i do it manually.
Is there a setting to make it retry a connection if it doesnt get one after 5 seconds or so?
The kills witch only works if it loses connection, not if it never gets one in the first place.
Thanks
it's been months! can't wait for for my subscription to expire to jump the ship
Hi everyone, Tomas from the product team here.
We will be releasing NordVPN 6.0 for Linux with some significant changes to the CLI. If you use NordVPN in scripts, cron jobs, systemd units, Ansible, Docker, or on headless servers, this one's for you.
Over time, the Linux CLI accumulated overlapping commands, for example, "technology" and "protocol" were separate settings even though both controlled how the VPN connection was established. Version 6.0 cleans this up with one clear way to configure each setting, but that also means some existing commands are going away.
What's changing:
nordvpn set technology is removed and replaced by nordvpn set protocol. nordvpn set obfuscate is removed. Obfuscation is now handled by NordWhisper - switch to the NordWhisper protocol, then select the “Obfuscated servers” group and connect. No separate toggle is needed.nordvpn connect P2P, just connect to any standard location. The same applies to P2P-specific auto-connect configs.nordvpn set virtual-location is removed - no replacement needed. Virtual servers are no longer separated from other servers.nordvpn whitelist becomes nordvpn allowlist - same functionality, one consistent name.nordvpn set threatprotectionlite (plus the tplite and cybersec aliases) becomes nordvpn set protection enabled.For more information, visit our blog: https://nordvpn.com/blog/nordvpn-linux-6-0/.
Why it matters:
These are breaking changes. If a script calls a removed command, it will return an error after you update. So before upgrading, search your configs for the commands above and update them to the new syntax.
One more thing: run nordvpn settings and save the output somewhere safe. Version 6.0 changes how settings are stored, and they're not backward compatible - if you downgrade, your existing configuration won't be retained.
If you mostly use the GUI or system tray, most of this won't affect your day-to-day usage - you'll just see obfuscation and server options presented differently.
Overall, 6.0 means fewer overlapping controls and one clear way to configure each setting. Questions or concerns? Drop them below.
TLDR if you consider money back guarantee trial, don’t use Apple (and maybe Google) to pay for the purchase
Hind sight is 20/20, just found a 5 years old post here about the same issue.
I trialled Nord for one day and decided I it’s not better from the one I’m using now, requested refund, the customer chat provided additional info to keep me onboard, I’ve made the unwise decision to try it for a few more days, thinking it would be covered by the guarantee period anyway. When I requested refund again, it turned out I could only do it via Apple, and Apple only refunded the prorated portion, even I submitted the link to Nord’s money back guarantee, Apple still denied the balance and closed the case. The answer I got via Nord chat was that even Nord ultimately got paid, purchased made via Apple cannot be refunded by them, essentially voiding the guarantee.
