Thank you for accepting me into the group, I'm currently struggling to install NordVPN onto Mint, Can anyone assist please?
 


G'day Chipist, and Welcome to Linux.org

https://nordvpn.com/download/linux/


I am assuming you already have Nord downloaded to your downloads folder ?

If in fact it is in your download folder, then your first move is as below.....

sudo apt-get install /home/nordvpn/Downloads/nordvpn-release_1.0.0_all.deb
hit enter
enter password
wait for the install to finish.......then Update it...
sudo apt-get update

then...Install it
sudo apt-get install nordvpn







Settings

In order to access NordVPN client settings, type the nordvpn command in a terminal.

Here is the list of available commands:

nordvpn login - Logs you in.
nordvpn connect or nordvpn c - Connects you to the VPN. In order to connect to the specific servers, use nordvpn connect <country_code server_number> (eg. nordvpn connect uk715)
nordvpn disconnect or nordvpn d - Disconnects you from the VPN.

nordvpn set or nordvpn s - Sets a configuration option. Possible options:
nordvpn set cybersec on or off - enable or disable the CyberSec feature

nordvpn set protocol udp or tcp - switch between UDP and TCP connection protocols
nordvpn set obfuscate on or off - enable or disable obfuscation.

nordvpn whitelist add port 22 - open incoming port 22 (the port can be different)
nordvpn whitelist remove port 22 - removes rule added with the above command
nordvpn settings - Shows the current settings.
nordvpn status - Shows the connection status.

where did you download it to ?.....your desktop or your downloads folder ?
 
In Firefox, click on the three horizontal lines in the top right hand corner of the page.....then click on preferences.

Type downloads into the search box at the top......that will take you automatically to downloads....save files to ???????

where does it send the download to ??

it says:
? downloads

but it is in my home folder, and I've also put a copy on the desktop to cover all bases
 
I am not sure what is going wrong for you....could be a typo

Go to https://support.nordvpn.com/

Type in Linux Install

and copy and paste the commands

it only takes a missing . to screw the whole thing up
 
look at /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nordvpn.list and check if deb https://repo.nordvpn.com/deb/nordvpn/debian stable main is commented.
If yes, uncomment it and run update again to refresh repos:
Code:
sudo apt-get update
then install with
Code:
sudo apt-get install nordvpn
and voilà!
 
I followed the directions and got it initialized then I went to linux.org and the screen said connection error
after i typed all this in and user name password it would not let me on the web.
nord@xXNORDXx:/etc/openvpn/ovpn_udp$ sudo openvpn us4169.nordvpn.com.udp.ovpn
 
another question does an app or anything pop up to click on to engage this or is it all in command?
