yes, I did the exactly same way as you described …
So, what is the current recommended way how to install and update NordVPN on MX 18? Could you post brief tutorial? Or should I wait for MX-like version of NordVPN when will be available in MX repos? I m afraid I messed up my system by NordVPN leftovers now.
Ahh proably my instruction were not complete. Regarding existing older version running and having nordvpn's apt-source with the package source list. So we have to cater for the upgrade with manual upgrade through MX Package Installer.
I would do this to get it fresh and running.
What's probably missing would be : uninstall older version first, remove nordvpn's apt-source list. Manually install new version. Apply the init-fix. This type of precedure would go into the MX Package Installer -> Populare app.
You can fix by uninstall current nordvpn. If not shutting down the service currectly, reboot.
And manually install the download deb-packages , apply the init-fix.
So in a sense you helped to spott to correct the procedure.

So now I am confused, this package does not contains install package of nordvpn!
You mean this link:
https://repo.nordvpn.com/deb/nordvpn/de ... _amd64.deb ... Am I right?

Yeah, you're right. I just copied the link shown on their website, did not go into the repo directly. The first update takes care of it, anyway. Sorry.

The link above is just the package for updating the apt-sources, which is what we currently not want.
Thats the latest package to be installed. So for now do manually install this package (without the source-list package nordvpn-release_1.0.0_all.deb) until we add this procedure to MX Package Installer.

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. It works when NordVPN connection is initiated through the NetworkManager Applet, but not when the terminal app is used.

Please, open a new thread, with as much details you can provide. So at least it might increase the chance to get not overlooked by someone knowledgeable in vpn and network manager and smb/cifs/samba.
Thanks
