[SOLVED] native nordvpn app on MX linux

[galaxysurfer]

i'm in canada but havent figured out how to configure by cities. says it isn't an option for my country. I guess the linux app is still beta

Thanks for lettings us know. This sounds all very exciting. Haven't seen a need for vpn myself,
but certainly might have to explore this option too . (Even not yet sure why i would need a vpn ;=)
So we could prepare something for a user to get it installed easily in sysVinit, e.g within MX PI popular apps,
or some thing else...

I am a big fan of vpn. I can see a use for public wifi hotspots. Unfortunately can't use it at the library. Security first! ;-)

You might want to check out [url]https:www.snbforums.com[/url] This is where i go for router & other related security help.

As the IoT becomes more prevalent security on devices will become a bigger issue. I have my Rokus segregated from the rest of my network. I don't want to be the product data if you know what I mean. I'm looking forward to the Linux cellphones ie Librem 5

code needs some tweaking since it seems to be affecting my login to this forum not just the nordvpn.

you get an error message ? any stored cookies? or just slow connection

i think this code i initiated is the culprit

nohup sudo /usr/sbin/nordvpnsd &


nohup /usr/sbin/nordvpnud &


i would like to use a rc.init.d alternative. If you teach me how to modify this, it will help me with my sagetv install problem ( it's currently dependent on systemd as well)

looking in init.d file I don't see a dedicated file for nordvpn

What I guess I am asking is how to configure this so it is user agnostic.

you shoud be able to just add the executable lines to the end of /etc/rc.local for now. do it before the "exit 0" at the bottom.

Ahh, sure that was just a simple test for making sure the connection works. the next is to provide a system service startup scripts probably in combination with tweaking the nordvpn provided deb package with one installer ... asap ... ...
.. and than we look into your sagetv

current version
Found the above link so hoping I can tweak my sagetv server setup too so it runs properly in sysvinit. Current version of sagetv is coded for systemd. Want to be able to modify all systemd programs for sysvinit use in mxlinux. Then putting the systemd boot mode in the rearview mirror!
