Did you reboot before trying the vpn? Usually when you update the vpn program, it won't work without a reboot.

Reinstall: use nordvpn entry in Popular apps tab of MXPI. Not the entry in Stable tab.

Thanks for posting "Quick System Info", unfortunately you removed the [code]code-tags[/code], which would have made it easier to read.

OK, just installed NordVPN and it works in both SysVinit and systemd.
I'm afraid their deb-package update, seems to remove some SysVinit compatibility.

Suggest this: you first remove NordVPN and install again, both steps by using MXPI->Pop.Apps->Network -> NordVPN. And logout/login or reboot.

Same problem here.

I did try your method but the Nordvpn app only ran with systemd.

Any error message?

Indeed, same message.

OK, thanks.
Seems something with their init.d script.
I think this might worth a try, when running with SysVinit

Code: Select all

sudo service nordvpn restart
[sudo] password di mx: 
Restarting /usr/sbin/nordvpnd: nordvpnstart-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 2265: No such process

Yes, and does work to connect?
