MX Linux Forum

I've been using an AMD Ryzen (32Gb, R1606G Zen processor with 2 cores and 4 threads @ 2.6 GHz (up to 3.5 GHz)) based ATARI VCS mini PC/console since May, 2021 as my daily driver. That means 24/7, on MX with liquorix kernel.
Never ever had a glitch, malfunction, crash, freeze you name it! The system ...

If anyone is interrested, installing wireguard does solve the NordVPN disconnect problem that's been occurring for quite some time now.

To be fair, NordVPN's openvpn technology works flawless, it is nordlynx that's almost useless under linux due to recurring connection freezes. My workaround used to be hourly reconnects.

Contacted NordVPN support who advised me to whitelist the relavant ports. I did that and can confirm it works.
Thanks!

I've been using MX for the last couple of years without system wide VPN. Since last year I have a NordVPN subscription I'm really content with. Lately, I've been ...

Although the status of the issue now is solved, I was wondering if a similar brilliant solution could be applied to enable SMB connection when using the native NordVPN app on MX.
