NordVPN today update Version 3.12.0 not work in SysVinit [Solved]

[fehlix]

@fehlix

question 1:
are you able with this new version, to logout, and then login with the new command

Code: Select all

nordvpn login --nordaccount

I don't have an account, so I can't test.

question2:

In your much earlier post here: viewtopic.php?p=661237#p661237

you added a 3 sec delay to /etc/init.d/nordvpn:

Code: Select all

sudo sed  -i '/ start)/a\    sleep 3' /etc/init.d/nordvpn

Now with

Code: Select all

sh -c "pidof -q nordvpnd && exit; test  -f /etc/init.d/nordvpn && sleep 5 && sudo /etc/init.d/nordvpn restart"

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)

Delays are always a matter to be adjusted depending on the systems response time.

Sorry-- the instructions I used were provided by the live chat support guy of Nordvpn. They involved wget..... etc. I hate to have stuff hidden from the package installer, but I need the VPN more...

In #29 you provided 3 commands

Code: Select all

echo "%users ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/nordvpn" | sudo sh -c 'umask 0337; tee /etc/sudoers.d/nordvpn'


sh -c "pidof -q nordvpnd && exit; test  -f /etc/init.d/nordvpn && sleep 5 && sudo /etc/init.d/nordvpn restart"


sh -c "pidof -q nordvpnd && exit; test  -f /etc/init.d/nordvpn && sleep 5 && sudo /etc/init.d/nordvpn restart; nordvpn c"

What is the difference between #2 and #3?

I can not do this check now, but anyways I need a solution, thx:)

2= just restart service upon login (of MX, not nordvpn!), no auto connecting of vpn [this assumes your account is logged in]

3 = restart service and also auto connect.

You decide which one you want.

@hkjz , the first command is a password less entry auto(re-)start of nordvpn daemon that needs to be run in terminal. Type it in, press enter, and then close terminal. The second command is what you put in the command box in Session&Startup. The third command is the same command as the second, but with the option to auto connect upon login. That's the one I use. To do this, first go to Menu, then Settings, and scroll down until you see Session&Startup. Click on that and when it opens up, click on Application Autostart. There is a little plus icon (+) at the bottom right of the window. Click on that. In the first entry box that says Name, type: NordVPN. In the second box that says Description, type: Restart NordVPN. In the third box that says Command, type in either the second command @fehlix gave in order to restart the service without auto connecting, or use the third command to restart plus auto connect the service. Which command you use is up to you. As @asqwerth already mentioned. Also, reboot your computer after doing all of that. Check to see if it worked.You can type in terminal: nordvpn status. I suggest reading the #28 post @fehlix made about this again. viewtopic.php?t=67290&start=20 Hope this clarifies things for you! Good luck!

Many thanks for such a detailed explanation

Just an update that the new standard login command is

nordvpn login --nordaccount

but in MX, when you are subsequently directed to continue your login via their web login portal in your browser and you do your login in said portal as directed, the terminal that's supposed to open (triggered by your login) to complete the login process, never happens.

If that is the case, the fallback command works:

nordvpn login --legacy

Thanks @asqwerth I check to make sure I'm logged in but usually I stay logged in automatically. It always tells me I'm already logged in with the first command you mentioned. I think if a user doesn't manually log out of the application, then they stay logged in. Good to know there is a fallback command though.
