I’m new to void and i need help xddddd
If you go to the NordVPN recommended server page (https://nordvpn.com/servers/tools/) and click “show available protocols” you can download the OpenVPN config file for the fastest server available to you. If you’re using NetworkManager for… well, managing your networks… you can install NetworkManager-openvpn from the void repo and import the ovpn config file into it. After importing it you just need to add your credentials and set up your connection to automatically connect to the vpn of your choice. You can also import other servers’ ovpn files so that you can build up a list of servers in whatever countries you need.
There currently isn’t a package template for nord.
Some discussion:
This Python3 script has some nice options: GitHub - jotyGill/openpyn-nordvpn: Easily connect to and switch between, OpenVPN servers hosted by NordVPN on Linux (+patch leakes)
I’ve been using it quite a bit.
If NordVPN spent the money they spend on ads paying for actual engineers maybe they wouldn’t have gotten hacked. I prefer mullvad. Although there isn’t an package for its app for void for it one can easily install the deb.
xdeb -Sde MullvadVPN-2021.6_amd64.deb
sudo xbps-install -R binpkgs mullvad-vpn-2021.6_1
I would strongly recommend https://airvpn.org/ After many years I can only say good things. It uses openVPN/ssh, so basically it works on any linux environment without issues.
There’s is a Nord-VPN add-on for Firefox.
Some nordvpn fans here it seems based on downvotes.
If you’re looking for ways around geofencing, NordVPN can be useful. There are better general options, e.g. Mullvad, but they don’t solve all of the geofencing issues.
I have thought of getting Mullvad! Thank you!
Would this also install discord? (changing the name of the package obviously!)
That can be helpful for some but not if they want to use the nordvpn -c and other command-line utilities to pass all traffic out of the machine through a Nord node.
I may get around to looking at the deb packaging to kludge a solution for myself… maybe. Easier to just manually link up even if with a slightly less performant protocol.
Here I thought no one would use Mullvad! Nord’s popularity is the main reason why I only went with Nord! Glad to know others use different VPN’s such as Mullvad.
Quite possibly be aware that packages designed for ubuntu could write files inappropriately for void. You can list what files it would write and ensure there are no conflicts.
You should install Discord with xbps-src
For clarification regarding Mullvad. Good credibility. Good speed. No history of bullshit. Helpful apps available for Linux windows and android but not required as it uses standard tech
There was some bullshit a couple of years ago when some of their servers were compromised, supposedly leaking user info.
Can you link a description of the incident?
I had only heard about it in passing, but it seems I got some details mixed up. They had a single third party compromised server in Finland, but no user data or credentials were leaked. There was a separate incident where some user credentials were exposed in a credential-stuffing attack. These were more to do with users using the same short password across multiple different services than a leak or vulnerability from Nord.
I thought you meant Mullvad had an incident of which I was not aware. Yes I’m aware nordvpn has had multiple issues.
