Re: NordVPN today update Version 3.12.0 not work in SysVinit
What is the latest on the Nordvpn bridge? Are we out of luck to use Nordvpn via pc interface for now? I mostly use Nordvpn through my router. I am helping someone else who can't cannect through Linux pc & doesn't have access to a customizable router.

(re-)starting of nordvpn service should work for latest version, as mentioned a couple of times within recent posts of this thread.galaxysurfer wrote: Mon Nov 15, 2021 1:04 am What is the latest on the Nordvpn bridge?

sorry if i didn't find the last post on matter when looking for solutions. Anyways I explained in another thread. Maybe it was due to you tweaking the nordvpn bridge or they fixed from their end? Either way keep up the great work!

Your workaround to to make nordvpn service (re)start automatically upon reboot/fresh login does indeed work.fehlix wrote: Mon Nov 15, 2021 4:36 am (re-)starting of nordvpn service should work for latest version, as mentioned a couple of times within recent posts of this thread.
But I was using MX-KDE instead of XFCE, and the Plasma settings for autostart allows you to add only: a) application, b) login script or c) logout script.
so for the autostart entry, I made a .desktop file (ie, an "application") with the Exec entry as:
Code: Select all
Exec=bash -c 'pidof -q nordvpnd && exit; test -f /etc/init.d/nordvpn && sleep 5 && sudo /etc/init.d/nordvpn restart'
Note: I actually first reverted your above changes and tried to do what @galaxysurfer and @CyberGhost did, ie login via the new
Code: Select all
nordvpn login --nordaccount
So I had to log in using the deprecated command, add your workarounds again, and reboot, and sure enough your workaround works to enable the service our of the box. I can then connect whenever I want to without any whoops sock error.
** I used the new login command in my Arch-based distros and when I entered my account name and password in the browser page and hit ENTER, a new terminal appeared during login (with the rotating "/") and disappeared when login was complete. After that, Nordvpn version 3.12 is now working upon connecting, instead of previously when internet was fully cut off upon connecting.
@fehlix , I'm wondering if under "normal" systemd, the browser is able to trigger the opening of a terminal which is not possible in sysvinit or MX's systemd.

AFAIK, it's possible to "talk" from Javascript to dbus, and dbus can trigger waiting/registed dbus services to perform actions and trigger systemd user-sevices, which includes starting of applications or running scrips etc. But surely I have no idea what they do within there new browser based login procedures.asqwerth wrote: Tue Nov 16, 2021 8:08 am @fehlix , I'm wondering if under "normal" systemd, the browser is able to trigger the opening of a terminal which is not possible in sysvinit or MX's systemd.

It's working fine for me! I just upgraded to the newest version and I have SysVinit. Not real sure what's going on at your end.
Re: NordVPN today update Version 3.12.0 not work in SysVinit
the new version 3.12.1 works for me also
EDIT UPDATE: after reboot I still get...... Whoops! /run/nordvpn/nordvpnd.sock not found
This still is my normal way to get it to work. "sudo service nordvpn restart" then enter my password, then nordvpn c

@fehlix
question 1:
are you able with this new version, to logout, and then login with the new command
question2:
In your much earlier post here: viewtopic.php?p=661237#p661237
you added a 3 sec delay to /etc/init.d/nordvpn:
Now with
there is a further 5 second delay.
So the total delay you are suggesting is 8 secs? (for what it's worth, I reduced the delay in /etc/init.d/nordvpn to 1 sec; I wasn't sure whether I supposed to delete the whole sleep line so I just reduced the number of secs)
