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

Is anyone else seeing this problem in the logs when starting nordvpnd ?

json: cannot unmarshal string into Go struct field AutoConnectData.auto_connect_data.protocol of type config.Protocol

I removed the package and deleted everything in /var/lib/nordvpn , then reinstalled. After specifically saying nordvpn logout and nordvpn login , everything works fine again.

@rok.lesjak, yes, I’ve used NetworkManager in the past, althoug since recent updates of KDE in Arch it stopped working for me (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1983132) so I’m stuck with the proprietary client. Thanks!

rok.lesjak commented on 2021-09-30 04:56

I’m connecting to NordVPN with NetworkManager, it works great.

Version 3.11.0_1-1 is not working for me. It is showing this error: «It seems there’s an issue with the config file. If the issue persists, please contact our customer support.» Even if I correct «warning: directory permissions differ on /var/lib/nordvpn/data/». Had to downgrade to 3.10.0-1 (working fine so far).

Edit: since today, version 3.10.0-1 is presenting issues: it gives me errors about my account data or expiration. After several attemps it is working for now.

Hello I’ve been getting «Wired Ethernet: Connected to Wired connection 1 (limited connectivity)» for 6+ months whenever I connect to any server within the app. This happens no matter which technology I use, or which type of server (group). I thought there was a bug so I’ve been waiting for a fix. It has been happening to me on both Manjaro and vanilla Arch linux. How could this be fixed?

@Th30 choice is good, I’m happy here for now but will check out wgnord thread from time to time to see how it progresses. Thanks for the info.

Th30 commented on 2021-09-16 04:10

After many problems with this package, I opted for wgnord.

@mmt84 I have set protocol UDP still doesn’t work

mmt84 commented on 2021-09-11 15:45

You should try changing the protocol you use. It may or may not solve your problem.

nordvpn set technology NordLynx/OpenVPN nordvpn set protocol UDP/TCP

Enable NordLynx (Wireguard)

NordVPN has introduced NordLynx technology which is based on WireGuard protocol. Compared to default OpenVPN technology, Wireguard provides lower latency, higher speeds and better connection stability. Due to the nature of Wireguard’s user identification, NordVPN has introduced NordLynx, which implements a double-NAT protocol on top of Wireguard to supplement increased privacy as well.

Alternative Method : connecting to NordVPN using NetworkManager

Installation

2. Choose an appropriate server using the NordVPN servers page : https://nordvpn.com/servers/ Download the corresponding openvpn configuration file on the NordVPN site : https://nordvpn.com/ovpn/ Save the file to a place in your user home directory or elsewhere that is memorable for future access.

Configuration

1. Right click on the NetworkManager applet from your desktop environment, and click Edit Connections. Click the Plus sign in the bottom left corner of the Network Connections window that appears.

2. When you choose a connection type, click the drop down menu and scroll all the way down until you reach «Import a saved VPN configuration». Select that option. Now, click Create.

3. Navigate to the directory you extracted all of the openvpn files to earlier, then open one of the files from that folder. Generally speaking, you will want to open the file that is associated with the connection you specifically want.

4. After you have opened one of the openvpn files, the window that appears should be «Editing «. Type in your NordVPN Username and Password. There is an icon in the password box indicating user permission of the credentials; change the settings as you wish («Save for all users» if you do not want to enter your password every time you connect).

Avoid DNS leak

To prevent DNS leak you must :

1. click on the «ipv4 settings»

2. On method : choose «automatic adresses only (VPN)» and manually enter the NordVPN DNS adresses in «DNS servers» : «103.86.96.100, 103.86.99.100» (Separated by a coma)

3. Click Save at the bottom left of the «Editing » window.

Automatic connection to the VPN

1. Right click on the NetworkManager applet from your desktop environment, and click Edit Connections.

2. Double click on the ethernet or Wifi connection for whom you want to automatically connect to the VPN

3. On the «General» tab, click on «Automatically connect to VPN when using this connection» in every connection you want, and choosing the right configuration file.

4. Repeat the operation for the other connections you will use with the VPN.

Disable ipv6

NordVPN is not ipv6 compatible. You may want to completely disable it.

Or you can also :

1. Right click on the NetworkManager applet from your desktop environment, and click Edit Connections.

2. Double click on the ethernet or Wifi connection for whom you want to automatically connect to the VPN

3. On the «ipv6» tab, choose «ignore» in the method box.

Use a killswitch

The NordVPN killswitch will not work with this method, you will have to create your own using ufw or iptables.

Test your configuration

Troubleshooting

No Internet after connection

If the network is blocking all the VPN protocols including the proxy connections, connection attempts might fail. Try changing the protocol (e. g. to TCP), using obfuscated servers or the NordLynx protocol.

Note that the list of countries where such servers are installed is much shorter.

Alternatively, there may be a conflict with your local network’s subnet, e.g.:

To deal with this, whitelist your network’s subnet using, e.g.:

No Internet after disconnection

After disconnecting via nordvpn d , there might no internet on the computer, but pinging (something like ping 8.8.8.8 ) would still be successful. It is most likely a DNS issue: upon connection to the servers, the local DNS is being overwritten with NordVPN’s DNS to ensure a secure connection to the server. After disconnecting, the DNS is removed, which might be causing problems.

Restarting the network manager should help:

Trouble connecting over terminal

If you are having trouble connecting over the terminal and get errors connecting you need to whitelist your subnet and open a port on NordVPN. Open a terminal and check what subnets you have.

The second subnet (10.0.0.0/8) is the subnet that we want to whitelist in NordVPN and you can do it with the following command :

If you wish to blacklist the subnet again just run the following command :

The port 22 is the port that is needed for NordVPN to work, you can open it with the following command :

If you wish to blacklist the port again just run the following command :

Random disconnect on terminal

If you get randomly disconnected from NordVPN on the terminal and it will not let you reconnect, just disable and re-enable the killswitch :

Most of the time it will not connect with the killswitch off, the linux app for NordVPN is very buggy currently.

How can I connect to NordVPN using Linux Terminal?

If you are looking for instructions on how to set up the NordVPN application for Linux, check this article.

Please note that since Linux has a lot of different distributions, the configuration interfaces may vary.

1. Open Terminal (keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + Alt + T).
2. Disable IPV6.Click here to learn how.
3. Only after disabling IPV6, install the OpenVPN client by entering:
   • sudo apt-get install openvpn

You may be asked to enter your user password to confirm your identity.

Navigate to the OpenVPN configuration directory with the command:

• cd /etc/openvpn

Download the OpenVPN configuration files with the command:

• sudo wget https://downloads.nordcdn.com/configs/archives/servers/ovpn.zip

  In case you get ERROR: The certificate of `nordvpn.com’ is not trusted., install the ca-certificates package with the command:

• sudo apt-get install ca-certificates

If you do not have the unzip package installed, download it by typing:

• sudo apt-get install unzip

Extract ovpn.zip with the command:

• sudo unzip ovpn.zip

Remove the files you will no longer use:

• sudo rm ovpn.zip

Enter the directory where the server configurations are located. These folders are named either ovpn_udp or ovpn_tcp:

• cd /etc/openvpn/ovpn_udp/
• cd /etc/openvpn/ovpn_tcp/

To see the list of all available servers, enter the following command:

• ls -al

Choose a server to connect to.

For this tutorial, we used us2957.nordvpn.com, but you should connect to the server suggested to you at https://nordvpn.com/servers/tools/. You can find the server hostname right under the server title.

Start OpenVPN with a chosen configuration by entering:

• sudo openvpn [file name]
• sudo openvpn us2957.nordvpn.com.udp.ovpn
• sudo openvpn /etc/openvpn/ovpn_udp/us2957.nordvpn.com.udp.ovpn

OpenVPN will ask you for your credentials. Enter your NordVPN service credentials.

You can find your NordVPN service credentials in the Nord Account dashboard. Copy the credentials using the Copy buttons on the right.

Tip: Your VPN connection safety depends on your account password too. Don’t forget to use a strong password on your account, as it will help you to avoid credential stuffing attacks and will keep your connections safe and uninterrupted.

As generating and remembering strong and secure passwords is not an easy task, we recommend downloading our free password manager — NordPass. It generates secure passwords for you and stores them safely, letting you avoid time-wasting password resets in the future.

You have successfully connected to VPN. To disconnect, open Terminal and press Ctrl + C on your keyboard.
