[HELP] how to use nordvpn

2

Once you’re logged in with the web browser it’s supposed to hand back over to the app, but in my experience it doesn’t always pass those login details back over correctly.

Instead, I’ve been using nordvpn login --legacy to login, which allows you to login at the command line directly without jumping out to a browser. I’m not sure how long that option will be available, but it seems to work best for now.

I don’t use their app. What I did was to download the OVPN file for my server (from here: https://nordvpn.com/ovpn/ ) and manually add an account to my VPN accounts in the network settings.

I use NordVPN on EOS no problem. However I’ve been logging in directly via CLI.

Try this:

nordvpn login --username your_username --password your_password

Hey Guys, i switched to using elementary a few days ago because of privacy concers regarding windows. I installed Apps only using the AppCenter, but i have trouble installing NordVPN. I followed their instructions on their website for debian based distros , but it doesnt work. even when iam logged into my account ( see picture) , writing the command it tells me that it isnt logged in. I already reinstalled the app, but even after the reinstall , it doesnt even let me open it , even though it shows the icon in my Applications Tab. What am i doing wrong ?

​

Thanks for your Time and have a great day !

I just used an older version…

In this Version the login was made via commandline directly. There I logged in and updated the app.

nope , that doesnt work , it just says event not found and takes part of my password as a bash: command or something

Looks like I’m using an older version which doesn’t offer the GUI.

Try nordvpn login --legacy

Otherwise this solution someone previously posted may work for you

thanks for the tip ! at first it didnt let me use the legacy login cause i had 2 factor authentication enabled, but after disabling that again it finally worked ! thank u
