nordvpn (4.4.0) stable; urgency=medium * A selection of minor tweaks and fixes under the hood to make the NordVPN app work better for you. Because routine maintenance is just as important as a new shiny feature. -- NordVPN Linux Team Wed, 04 Feb 2026 14:31:34 +0000 nordvpn (4.3.1) stable; urgency=medium * We encountered an issue occurring on some fresh installations. Stability has been restored to the app. -- NordVPN Linux Team Wed, 04 Feb 2026 14:31:34 +0000 nordvpn (4.3.0) stable; urgency=medium * Recent connections now appear in both the GUI and the tray. The app remembers so you don't have to. * Some say joy is found in the little things. We say you can now select a connection location right from the tray. This improvement came to life thanks to the contribution from the community, and we're seriously grateful. * Specialty servers have entered the tray. Pick one when your connection needs a little something extra. * We added a Terms section to Settings. Now your favorite bedtime reads — terms of service, privacy policy, and other documents — are all in one place. * Some pixels shifted. Some colors softened. The kind of changes you notice only after wondering why everything feels nicer. * We've improved compatibility with rpm-ostree setups. Great tools deserve to work well together. * We tracked down a rare bug that could crash the app on X11 systems. Slippery little thing. It won't be bothering anyone now. * The tray settings menu on KDE with X11 wasn't opening. This was unfortunate because opening is more or less the core expectation of a menu. * The app wouldn't work after installation on systems without the awk utility. Now it does. * Installing on Red Hat didn't work properly. That wasn't very Linux of us. We have fixed the issue. -- NordVPN Linux Team Wed, 04 Feb 2026 14:31:34 +0000 nordvpn (4.2.3) stable; urgency=medium * We raised the maximum HTTP response limit. In plain terms: your app can now handle larger responses without breaking a sweat. Bigger payloads, fewer headaches. -- NordVPN Linux Team Wed, 04 Feb 2026 14:31:34 +0000 nordvpn (4.2.2) stable; urgency=medium * When auto-connect was on, some logs would get stuck in déjà vu — writing the same message every few seconds. We fixed the bug responsible and freed them from eternal repetition. -- NordVPN Linux Team Wed, 04 Feb 2026 14:31:34 +0000 nordvpn (4.2.1) stable; urgency=medium * On some newer Linux distributions, installation stumbled over a missing libxml2 dependency. We've fixed the packaging - installs should now go through smoothly. -- NordVPN Linux Team Wed, 04 Feb 2026 14:31:34 +0000 nordvpn (4.2.0) stable; urgency=medium * The NordVPN Linux GUI app source code is now public. You can see exactly how things run behind the scenes (and maybe admire the architecture while you're there). * Meshnet is here to stay! Over the past month, you've spoken up and reminded us just how much it can offer — not simply as a file sharing feature, but as a way to connect and collaborate. We heard you. Meshnet features will stay live and supported. * The Snap package now includes the GUI app, and you'll see a handy screen in the interface showing which Snap commands to run after installation. We do like to keep things snappy. * We've upgraded our internal libraries — with Encrypted Client Hello and Control Flow Guard joining the team for extra protection. * Fixed: Sometimes firewall rules in the mangle table refused to clear, leaving connections blocked. We've persuaded them to let go. * Some of you noticed an unusually high number of analytics requests during feature rollouts. Balance restored. -- NordVPN Linux Team Wed, 04 Feb 2026 14:31:34 +0000 nordvpn (4.1.1) stable; urgency=medium * On some Linux distributions using the .rpm package, the app wouldn’t work unless reinstalled. We’re reasonably certain this hotfix chases that bug out for good. -- NordVPN Linux Team Wed, 04 Feb 2026 14:31:34 +0000 nordvpn (4.1.0) stable; urgency=medium * Meshnet is leaving NordVPN on December 1, 2025. If you've relied on it, we know this may be frustrating, but we're not taking it lightly. To give you time to plan ahead, we're sharing this news early. You'll also get a reminder message in the app. * Restoring default settings no longer logs you out or turns off Kill Switch — but now you can choose those options if you want. Use these commands: 'nordvpn set defaults --logout' or 'nordvpn set defaults --off killswitch' * Fixed: We discovered DNS resolution wouldn't work correctly with NordWhisper. That bug has left the building. * Remote config now comes through a CDN. What does that mean for you? Your app gets tweaks and improvements faster. * We upgraded OpenSSL to 3.0.17. Always nice to cross that off the list. * HTTP/3 connections are steadier now. * App packaging works better when nothing's missing — so we updated libxml2 and bundled SQLite properly. * This update improves OpenVPN security. May the safety of connection be with you. -- NordVPN Linux Team Wed, 04 Feb 2026 14:31:34 +0000 nordvpn (4.0.0) stable; urgency=medium * This update adds the new privacy consent. If you agree, we'll collect limited app performance data to help us spot issues faster and focus on features you actually need. If you say no, we'll respect your choice and only collect the essentials needed for the app to work properly. Your online activity stays private. Always. * We'd rather add features than take them away, but IPv6 has privacy gaps we can't ignore. The technology is still vulnerable to WebRTC leaks, so we're putting its support on hold. That means the nordvpn set ipv6 command is no longer available, and IPv6 options won't appear in settings. * We've given connection times a speed boost - because every second counts. * A few more background improvements are in place to keep your NordVPN experience running at its best. -- NordVPN Linux Team Wed, 04 Feb 2026 14:31:34 +0000 nordvpn (3.20.3) stable; urgency=medium * Post-quantum encryption didn't work when LAN discovery was activated. The features get along well now. * Firewall rules related to Meshnet would persist even after turning off Meshnet. They now clear out properly. * Allowlisting a subnet could cut off your internet. That's not exactly what we'd call a feature. So it doesn't happen anymore. * The bug that prevented auto-connect from working with obfuscated servers is a thing of the past. May your VPN journey be smoother from here on out. -- NordVPN Linux Team Wed, 04 Feb 2026 14:31:34 +0000 nordvpn (3.20.2) stable; urgency=medium * We stumbled upon a few bugs during our routine check-up. No worries - none of them were too tough for our expert bug-hunting department. Update to keep these unwelcome guests out for good. -- NordVPN Linux Team Wed, 04 Feb 2026 14:31:34 +0000 nordvpn (3.20.1) stable; urgency=medium * We dedicated some time to routine maintenance: refreshed the code, improved the accuracy of some error messages, caught a couple of bugs. * NordWhisper sometimes spammed the activity logs with repeating messages. We fixed this. * Kill Switch now correctly handles multiple network interfaces on a single device. The rule is simple: no VPN — no traffic, no exceptions. * The LAN discovery feature did its job so well that it would take priority over Meshnet permissions. Now when you disable the local network permission for your Meshnet peer, even when enabled, LAN discovery won’t allow access to other devices on your device’s LAN. -- NordVPN Linux Team Tue, 11 Mar 2025 07:03:36 +0000 nordvpn (3.20.0) stable; urgency=medium * This update brings significant security improvements. Updating is strongly encouraged. * A few fixes here and there to ensure your VPN app works as expected. Update the app now to make sure you don't miss a thing. -- NordVPN Linux Team Mon, 30 Dec 2024 15:13:59 +0000 nordvpn (3.19.2) stable; urgency=medium * One pesky bug was causing the app to crash upon connecting over OpenVPN after a fresh install. Our engineers brought stability back to the app. -- NordVPN Linux Team Tue, 26 Nov 2024 09:38:59 +0000 nordvpn (3.19.1) stable; urgency=medium * This update may not bring visible changes, and that's okay. We've been tweaking things under the hood to ensure your NordVPN app runs smoother than ever. It's the invisible work that often makes the biggest difference. * Several weird and rare bugs popped in for a surprise visit. We've taken care of them - end of story. * We've upgraded the library that powers file sharing via Meshnet. Keep the app up to date on all peer devices to avoid compatibility issues when sending files. -- NordVPN Linux Team Wed, 23 Oct 2024 11:58:06 +0000 nordvpn (3.19.0) stable; urgency=medium * As quantum computing advances, so do our measures to protect your data. You can now enable post-quantum encryption against the cyber threats of the future. It’s always better to be prepared than to wish you were. Or, as they say: "Be quantum-proof." Use the command: nordvpn set pq on. * Now even more devices can run NordVPN. We’ve added support for ARM64 and ARMHF architecture in the Snap package. * Performance has been optimized, bugs were kicked out, and stability is reinforced. -- NordVPN Linux Team Wed, 18 Sep 2024 10:51:58 +0000 nordvpn (3.18.5) stable; urgency=medium * We’ve tinkered with the internal workings and polished some rough edges. The result? An app that’s better than ever before. -- NordVPN Linux Team Mon, 26 Aug 2024 13:09:04 +0000 nordvpn (3.18.4) stable; urgency=medium * Fixed: Rumor has it that some of you had trouble routing traffic from your Windows PC to a Linux device. That was never our intention, so we've sorted it out. * Fixed: The tray icon used to disappear after you logged out and back into the system. We've fixed it - now it stays. * Fixed: Sometimes the app would throw a confusing error when you tried to connect to a dedicated IP. We've tweaked the app logic to select the right server from your purchased list or show you a clear message if you're not subscribed. * Fixed: Using a Linux device as a VPN gateway previously let LAN traffic through. Fun, right? But not very private. So now, LAN traffic won't get to the internet by default. If you want to route it through your VPN-connect device, just turn on LAN discovery or allowlist specific subnets or IP addresses. * We've also improved how subnet allowlisting works. Accessing an allowlisted subnet or IP no longer requires LAN discovery to be active. * A few other little bugs have been wiped out. -- NordVPN Linux Team Tue, 06 Aug 2024 13:36:04 +0000 nordvpn (3.18.3) stable; urgency=medium * Sometimes, less is more. You can now disable virtual locations using the command virtual-location disable. If you change your mind, run virtual-location enable. * Several weird and rare bugs popped in for a surprise visit. We've taken care of them - end of story. -- NordVPN Linux Team Tue, 09 Jul 2024 16:30:30 +0000 nordvpn (3.18.2) stable; urgency=medium * Exciting news! The NordVPN Linux app is now available on the Snap Store. Installing the app on Linux has never been easier. * If your dedicated IP subscription has expired, we’ll guide you smoothly to the subscription page. Keep that unique IP address all to yourself. * You can now disable the tray icon directly from the tray settings. To bring it back, just run the nordvpn set tray on command. * Fixed: A bug snuck into the last release and broke the allowlist. * Fixed: Kill Switch and LAN discovery didn’t work nicely together after a daemon restart. All good now. -- NordVPN Linux Team Fri, 31 May 2024 11:24:05 +0000 nordvpn (3.18.1) stable; urgency=medium * We've addressed potential security vulnerabilities in this release. Update now for the safest version. -- NordVPN Linux Team Fri, 10 May 2024 10:46:36 +0000 nordvpn (3.18.0) stable; urgency=medium * Introducing our latest companion - the notification tray. This handy addition will give you real-time updates on your VPN connection status. * Fixed: We've gotten rid of the bug that prevented Kill Switch from disabling internet access for Meshnet peers routing traffic through your device. Now when your VPN connection drops and Kill Switch is enabled, it securely blocks internet access for these connections. -- NordVPN Linux Team Wed, 17 Apr 2024 14:40:56 +0000 nordvpn (3.17.4) stable; urgency=medium * Fixed: We discovered that DNS configurations went off-track when your LAN access was enabled. The bug is no more. -- NordVPN Linux Team Wed, 03 Apr 2024 12:29:32 +0000 nordvpn (3.17.3) stable; urgency=medium * Fixed: Routing through Meshnet devices connected to an OpenVPN server used to mean a trip to no-internet land. Not anymore. * Fixed: We've refined help-related messages. They're now more accurate, guiding you without the guesswork. * We’ve made other tweaks and fixes to make your NordVPN experience smoother, faster, and more reliable. -- NordVPN Linux Team Mon, 04 Mar 2024 09:25:16 +0000 nordvpn (3.17.2) stable; urgency=medium * A sneaky little bug related to IPv6 settings crept into our last release, leading to some unexpected connectivity challenges. But worry not! We've caught the culprit and fixed the issue. -- NordVPN Linux Team Tue, 13 Feb 2024 10:12:34 +0000 nordvpn (3.17.1) stable; urgency=medium * With this update, NordVPN better aligns with your custom DNS preferences. If you've set your `/etc/resolv.conf` file to read-only, we will keep your DNS settings unchanged. * As always, we've been on a bug hunt, making sure your NordVPN experience is as smooth as possible. -- NordVPN Linux Team Fri, 02 Feb 2024 17:56:55 +0000 nordvpn (3.17.0) stable; urgency=medium * New in Meshnet: Now you can personalize your Meshnet devices with custom nicknames, making them easier to identify and remember. * File sharing refinements and a few other improvements here and there. * Clear your file sharing history using the command 'nordvpn fileshare clear' - because who says you can't rewrite a bit of your digital past? -- NordVPN Linux Team Fri, 29 Dec 2023 08:54:47 +0000 nordvpn (3.16.9) stable; urgency=medium * A selection of minor tweaks and fixes under the hood to make the NordVPN app work better for you. Because routine maintenance is just as important as a new shiny feature. -- NordVPN Linux Team Tue, 28 Nov 2023 09:13:21 +0000 nordvpn (3.16.8) stable; urgency=medium * We've given a speed boost for connections between peer devices in Meshnet. -- NordVPN Linux Team Thu, 09 Nov 2023 13:14:56 +0000 nordvpn (3.16.7) stable; urgency=medium * We’ve improved our “Help” articles on logging in and file sharing, as well as the Meshnet documentation. * Fixed: The issue of Meshnet sometimes causing high CPU usage has been solved. * Other minor fixes and improvements. -- NordVPN Linux Team Wed, 18 Oct 2023 13:38:11 +0000 nordvpn (3.16.6) stable; urgency=medium * New setting: local network discovery. Turn it on when you need to access your local network while connected to a VPN, routing traffic through a Meshnet device, or having Kill Switch enabled. * IP and port allowlisting improvements. -- NordVPN Linux Team Mon, 28 Aug 2023 06:19:42 +0000 nordvpn (3.16.5) stable; urgency=medium * ixed: A bug that slipped into the previous release and showed irrelevant messages is gone now. -- NordVPN Linux Team Tue, 01 Aug 2023 09:57:34 +0000 nordvpn (3.16.4) stable; urgency=medium * Autocompletion now works with file sharing commands. * You can accept and decline file transfers from notifications. * For seamless file sharing with peers you trust, use the “auto-accept” setting to always accept transfers from a specific peer. We won’t ask you to approve each transfer – files will start downloading automatically. * Under-the-hood file sharing upgrades for faster transfers, lower latency, and tighter security. * Improvements in VPN performance: The auto-connect bug is fixed, and random logouts should no longer interrupt your connection. * Fixed: Port/subnet whitelisting works as expected again. -- NordVPN Linux Team Mon, 03 Jul 2023 10:41:54 +0000 nordvpn (3.16.3) stable; urgency=medium * We improved how command line parameters are handled to avoid connection errors caused by typing in all caps. * Thanks to the community of our eagle-eyed contributors, we’ve removed a bunch of typos. * Arguments in our help texts now follow the POSIX.1-2017 standard. * We implemented a security upgrade for the connections over the OpenVPN protocol. * Peers without an IP address will now be skipped when managing Meshnet configuration. * We fixed a bug that prevented sharing files over Meshnet. -- NordVPN Linux Team Thu, 01 Jun 2023 09:45:12 +0000 nordvpn (3.16.2) stable; urgency=medium * Logging in with a username and password is no longer available in the terminal as we've switched to more secure login options. * Thanks to the community of our eagle-eyed contributors, we've removed a bunch of typos. * * mprovements in file sharing over Meshnet: * Notifications will inform you about the file transfer status. * Transfers containing no files will be rejected automatically. * Error messages have been updated for more clarity and precision. * Fixed: We'll show the correct status for transfers canceled by the sender. -- NordVPN Linux Team Mon, 24 Apr 2023 09:30:33 +0000 nordvpn (3.16.1) stable; urgency=medium * Fixed: A curious case of connections to OpenVPN servers failing on Fedora came to our attention. We put on our detective hats and solved the mystery. -- NordVPN Linux Team Fri, 24 Mar 2023 10:12:27 +0000 nordvpn (3.16.0) stable; urgency=medium * Autosuggest now displays countries and groups. * We’ve added filters for the ‘mesh peer list’ command. Explore all the options using ‘nordvpn mesh peer list --help’ * Meshnet invitations now contain settings for traffic routing. * We’ve improved how auto-connect and obfuscation features interact. * Minor bug fixes here and there. -- NordVPN Linux Team Fri, 10 Mar 2023 09:14:16 +0000 nordvpn (3.15.5) stable; urgency=medium * Fixed: We've eliminated a bug causing Meshnet connectivity issues. -- NordVPN Linux Team Mon, 20 Feb 2023 08:37:50 +0000 nordvpn (3.15.4) stable; urgency=medium * Connections via Meshnet are faster now! * We improved how invitations to link devices are displayed. * Performance improvements beneath the surface. -- NordVPN Linux Team Thu, 26 Jan 2023 10:10:21 +0000 nordvpn (3.15.3) stable; urgency=medium * Fixed: It appears our app is not the morning type as it would crash after the computer had resumed from sleep mode. We took the strongest measures – code and coffee – to fix the situation, and they helped. * A few security upgrades. -- NordVPN Linux Team Wed, 28 Dec 2022 17:52:55 +0000 nordvpn (3.15.2) stable; urgency=medium * Fixed: Rumor has it that some new users have found the Meshnet feature missing. We’ve checked – nothing paranormal here. Meshnet is available for everyone again. -- NordVPN Linux Team Tue, 06 Dec 2022 15:53:28 +0000 nordvpn (3.15.1) stable; urgency=medium * We've been laying the groundwork for speed and latency improvements in Meshnet. * Fixed: We now show a correct status when you're routing traffic through a peer device and a relevant error message if the traffic routing fails. No more miscommunication here. * As the holidays are fast approaching, we've been working on our app's naughty-or-nice score. A bunch of mischievous bugs have been dispatched with a mission of no return. * The application now works with older distributions. * Minor security upgrades. -- NordVPN Linux Team Mon, 28 Nov 2022 09:08:42 +0000 nordvpn (3.15.0) stable; urgency=medium * New in Meshnet: When routing traffic through a linked computer, you’ll have access to its local network devices instead of yours – if the linked computer has granted this permission to you. And the other way around: you can allow or block access to your local network for each device that's routing traffic through your computer. Use the `nordvpn mesh peer local` command to control this permission. * You can now log in by using a token generated in your Nord Account. See `--token` option in `nordvpn login --help`. * Added the `routing` setting. See `nordvpn set routing --help`. * Added the `fwmark` setting. See `nordvpn set fwmark --help`. * Fixed: The app version is now displayed properly in the manual page. * Fixed: The app no longer gets stuck in the `connecting` state when you're offline and the set protocol is OpenVPN. * Fixed: Meshnet now works on PureOS. * Minor fixes in Meshnet. -- NordVPN Linux Team Mon, 17 Oct 2022 09:52:23 +0000 nordvpn (3.14.2) stable; urgency=medium * New feature: Meshnet! From now on, you only need the NordVPN app with Meshnet enabled to connect to remote devices securely. Link up to 10 of your own devices and 50 devices of other NordVPN users. Meshnet is great for accessing and sharing files, playing multiplayer games, or getting some work done on shared projects! Use the `nordvpn set meshnet on` command to turn it on. To find all Meshnet-related commands and get help, type `nordvpn meshnet`. * Fixed: The app wasn't following specific commands when connected to the VPN or kept ignoring your notification preferences when using `nordvpn set notify`. Order has been restored. * Fixed: Sometimes the app failed to set a DNS address properly, resulting in it not being able to connect you to VPN. That shouldn't be the case anymore. * Fixed: Connecting to the VPN while having Kill Switch on is no longer a challenge for the app. -- NordVPN Linux Team Thu, 28 Jul 2022 09:56:51 +0000 nordvpn (3.14.1) stable; urgency=medium * Fixed: Some users had an issue with the app freezing at random. Rumor has it, some were even confronted with the never-ending spinner. The bug causing the trouble is fixed now, and the app is set to run smoothly without awkward silent interruptions. * Better: When opened, the app will now greet you with a list of useful commands displayed in the terminal. -- NordVPN Linux Team Mon, 13 Jun 2022 07:35:25 +0000 nordvpn (3.14.0) stable; urgency=medium * CyberSec is now Threat Protection Lite! Accordingly, its default command is now `nordvpn set threatprotectionlite on/off` — but the old `nordvpn set cybersec on/off` will also work for your convenience. Naming aside, it's still the same feature and still blocks malicious sites and ads while connected to VPN. * A few performance improvements are in place. -- NordVPN Linux Team Wed, 01 Jun 2022 11:41:16 +0000 nordvpn (3.13.0) stable; urgency=medium * NordLynx is now the default VPN protocol in our Linux app. * We made changes in firewall handling. Now we filter packets by firewall marks instead of IP addresses of VPN servers. * A few performance improvements are in place. -- NordVPN Linux Team Mon, 23 May 2022 09:16:04 +0000 nordvpn (3.12.5) stable; urgency=medium * We switched from destination-based to policy-based traffic routing. * Fixed: A bug that slipped into the previous release and prevented OpenVPN from working on any devices except ones with the AMD64 architecture. -- NordVPN Linux Team Mon, 14 Mar 2022 09:31:12 +0000 nordvpn (3.12.4) stable; urgency=medium * A selection of minor tweaks and fixes under the hood to make the NordVPN app work better for you. Because routine maintenance is just as important as a new shiny feature. -- NordVPN Linux Team Thu, 10 Feb 2022 08:08:41 +0000 nordvpn (3.12.3) stable; urgency=medium * Better: We’ve improved our messaging for better guidance in cases of an unsuccessful login. * Fixed: Connecting to a specific server by using tags works smoothly again. -- NordVPN Linux Team Tue, 11 Jan 2022 14:30:47 +0000 nordvpn (3.12.2) stable; urgency=medium * Now our app versions are listed in chronological order instead of alphabetically in package managers. * Fixed: We solved a bug that has slipped into the previous release and got in your way when trying to use the 'nordvpn connect [country] [city]' command. * Fixed: There were a few unexpected errors in our app for the Fedora distribution, but not anymore. -- NordVPN Linux Team Thu, 16 Dec 2021 13:13:37 +0000 nordvpn (3.12.1) stable; urgency=medium * Fixed: The server search by group works smoothly again. * Fixed: We’ve found the culprit behind unexpected app crashes during updates, so there should be no more interruptions. * Fixed: The app no longer acts mysteriously and shows up in the Ubuntu Software Updater with the correct name and icon now. -- NordVPN Linux Team Thu, 18 Nov 2021 15:34:04 +0000 nordvpn (3.12.0) stable; urgency=medium * Our app for Linux joins the rest of NordVPN apps with the login flow via Nord Account. It's the platform that unifies all Nord services and eliminates the need for multiple accounts and passwords. It also lets you add an extra layer of security to your account with multi-factor authentication. * * o log in with Nord Account, use the command `nordvpn login --nordaccount`. We’ll take you to your browser for login and then bring you back to the app. Smooth. * * ou can still log in with the `nordvpn login` command, so choose the way which works better for you. * * A few performance and security improvements are in place. -- NordVPN Linux Team Wed, 03 Nov 2021 07:52:21 +0000 nordvpn (3.11.0) stable; urgency=medium * We did some under-the-hood work to make connecting to VPN even faster. * Fixed: If you’ve noticed that auto-completion for commands stopped working, you’re not imagining things. We kind of lost it on the Z-shell Linux because of a pesky bug that slipped into the previous release. Now commands can be smoothly auto-completed again! * Fixed: We solved the case of the app sometimes displaying an incorrect error message after unsuccessful login. -- NordVPN Linux Team Tue, 28 Sep 2021 12:26:04 +0000 nordvpn (3.10.0) stable; urgency=medium * NordVPN now supports IPv6 on Linux. To enable it, use the command `nordvpn set ipv6 on`. * Now there’s one more way to check which NordVPN version you’re running – simply type `nordvpn version`. Commands `nordvpn --version` and `nordvpn -v` still work too. -- NordVPN Linux Team Wed, 26 May 2021 12:36:26 +0000 nordvpn (3.9.5) stable; urgency=medium * As suggested by our user community, we’re switching from the default Linux password entry to something more user-friendly: from now on, when you type your password to log in, we’ll hide each symbol under an asterisk (*) so you can see that you’re actually typing. -- NordVPN Linux Team Tue, 25 May 2021 09:21:42 +0000 nordvpn (3.9.4) stable; urgency=medium * Fixed: A bug that slipped into the previous release to hinder installing and updating NordVPN on some RPM-based distributions is now gone. -- NordVPN Linux Team Thu, 13 May 2021 11:48:38 +0000 nordvpn (3.9.3) stable; urgency=medium * Fixed: the app will no longer randomly say that your account has expired when it’s not the case. -- NordVPN Linux Team Mon, 10 May 2021 13:45:09 +0000 nordvpn (3.9.2) stable; urgency=medium * Improved application logs handling: Instead of a file, which sometimes may take up more space than desired, logs are now provided as standard output to give you more control. * Fixed: There was a bug of a rare kind that would make every single connection fail, and only a system restart could stop this vicious cycle. The bug is no more. -- NordVPN Linux Team Wed, 14 Apr 2021 05:35:59 +0000 nordvpn (3.9.1) stable; urgency=medium * Don’t wait until you disconnect – rate your VPN connection anytime it’s active.

Now, we will notify you when it’s time to update – just to make sure you’re not missing out on any of our features by using an older app version. * Fixed: The quick-connect command selects the best server for you. However, sometimes it would pick one of our specialty servers. We understand you might not want one. So now it’s only our regular servers you can be quick-connected to. * Fixed: When auto-connecting to VPN on startup, our app had a hard time handling your whitelisted ports. Now everything works as intended. -- NordVPN Linux Team Thu, 09 May 2019 12:17:39 +0000 nordvpn (3.0.0) stable; urgency=medium * Introducing specialty server groups. * New notifications added – only the important stuff.

In any other ways, regular and specialty servers will work. * From now on, you can choose servers by city! Because, well yeah, it matters – San Francisco or New York, Perth or Sydney. * Enjoy a more extensive selection of servers, all thanks to implemented server templates. * Download and upload speeds are no longer a mystery – your bandwidth stats now are a part of ‘nordvpn status.’ -- NordVPN Linux Team Wed, 17 Oct 2018 12:19:06 +0000 nordvpn (1.1.10) stable; urgency=medium * Now you can select the way the app handles Internet connection hiccups. * We added a possibility to whitelist specific ports to make certain services work even after the Kill Switch kicks in. * Expanded the app compatibility with Raspberry Pi, all thanks to the new architecture added. * When it comes to typing commands, the autocomplete widget is there to make everything easier. We improved the autosuggestions, so they’re always on point. For example, it doesn’t matter anymore whether you type ‘nordvpn connect Germany’, or ‘nordvpn connect germany’ – now we get the idea both ways. -- NordVPN Linux Team Tue, 18 Sep 2018 12:00:00 +0000 nordvpn (1.1.6) stable; urgency=medium * Do you know the Internet-famous cute little penguin that slides on his tummy down the hill?
