nordvpn (3.15.1) * 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. -- Mon, 28 Nov 2022 09:08:42 +0000 nordvpn (3.15.0) * 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. -- Mon, 17 Oct 2022 09:52:23 +0000 nordvpn (3.14.2) * 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. -- Thu, 28 Jul 2022 09:56:51 +0000 nordvpn (3.14.1) * 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. -- Mon, 13 Jun 2022 07:35:25 +0000 nordvpn (3.14.0) * 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. -- Wed, 01 Jun 2022 11:41:16 +0000 nordvpn (3.13.0) * 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. -- Mon, 23 May 2022 09:16:04 +0000 nordvpn (3.12.5) * 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. -- Mon, 14 Mar 2022 09:31:12 +0000 nordvpn (3.12.4) * 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. -- Thu, 10 Feb 2022 08:08:41 +0000 nordvpn (3.12.3) * 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. -- Tue, 11 Jan 2022 02:30:47 +0000 nordvpn (3.12.2) * 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. -- Thu, 16 Dec 2021 01:13:37 +0000 nordvpn (3.12.1) * 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. -- Thu, 18 Nov 2021 03:34:04 +0000 nordvpn (3.12.0) * 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. -- Wed, 03 Nov 2021 07:52:21 +0000 nordvpn (3.11.0) * 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. -- Tue, 28 Sep 2021 12:26:04 +0000 nordvpn (3.10.0) * 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. -- Wed, 26 May 2021 12:36:26 +0000 nordvpn (3.9.5) * 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. -- Tue, 25 May 2021 09:21:42 +0000 nordvpn (3.9.4) * Fixed: A bug that slipped into the previous release to hinder installing and updating NordVPN on some RPM-based distributions is now gone. -- Thu, 13 May 2021 11:48:38 +0000 nordvpn (3.9.3) * Fixed: the app will no longer randomly say that your account has expired when it’s not the case. -- Mon, 10 May 2021 01:45:09 +0000 nordvpn (3.9.2) * 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. -- Wed, 14 Apr 2021 05:35:59 +0000 nordvpn (3.9.1) * Don’t wait until you disconnect – rate your VPN connection anytime it’s active. Give feedback about your current connection by using the `nordvpn rate` command. * Besides resetting to default settings, the `nordvpn set defaults` command now also stops VPN connection. * Fixed: Auto-completion for commands works smoothly again. -- Mon, 29 Mar 2021 08:23:02 +0000 nordvpn (3.9.0) * New command: Type `nordvpn whitelist remove all` to clear all items in the whitelist. * New command: `nordvpn set firewall on/off`. It lets you choose whether the app should set up a firewall or not. * If you stop a daemon process, Kill Switch also stops working. This helps to avoid losing internet connection unexpectedly. * Fixed: Auto-connect works more smoothly now. * Fixed: We fixed the connection issues on network restart. * Fixed: Sometimes, VPN wouldn’t disconnect properly when logging out, but no more. * And more minor yet important improvements and bug fixes for your better experience with NordVPN. -- Thu, 18 Mar 2021 01:07:54 +0000 nordvpn (3.8.10) * Fixed: NordVPN runs smoothly again on Ubuntu 18.04. * Minor improvements in security and performance. -- Tue, 05 Jan 2021 02:09:09 +0000 nordvpn (3.8.9) * Fixed: unreachable daemon after an upgrade. -- Mon, 28 Dec 2020 08:25:54 +0000 nordvpn (3.8.8) * run daemon with nordvpn group * socket is only accesible to users that belong to nordvpn group or root -- Thu, 17 Dec 2020 09:13:19 +0000 nordvpn (3.8.7) * Fixed: a bug where account and login commands would not work when killswitch is on. -- Fri, 20 Nov 2020 10:47:10 +0000 nordvpn (3.8.6) * Fixed: NordLynx connection is restored after waking up from system suspend. -- Fri, 30 Oct 2020 10:02:26 +0000 nordvpn (3.8.5) * Fixed: incorrectly showing expired account error. -- Tue, 22 Sep 2020 08:16:21 +0000 nordvpn (3.8.4) * Fixed: whitelist is less strict by allowing ports to be used in both directions. -- Thu, 10 Sep 2020 09:12:36 +0000 nordvpn (3.8.3) * Fixed: firewall not working properly on older distros such as Ubuntu 14.04 -- Tue, 08 Sep 2020 02:27:59 +0000 nordvpn (3.8.2) * Fixed: whitelist does not create routes anymore. -- Tue, 08 Sep 2020 12:16:23 +0000 nordvpn (3.8.1) * Fixed: whitelist is less strict by allowing ports to be used in both directions. -- Fri, 04 Sep 2020 10:42:08 +0000 nordvpn (3.8.0) * What’s better: Kill Switch and Whitelist work nicely together now. * What’s fixed: We got rid of a bug that sometimes prevented auto-connect from working as it should. -- Thu, 16 Jul 2020 06:38:59 +0000 nordvpn (3.7.4) * NordLynx is now even faster to connect to a VPN server. * Improved VPN performance in obfuscated mode. -- Fri, 12 Jun 2020 12:27:16 +0000 nordvpn (3.7.3) * Fixed: Kill Switch now works as smoothly with NordLynx as it does with OpenVPN. If you enable Kill Switch while connected to a NordLynx server, it won’t interrupt your current connection. * Fixed: In case your connection to a NordLynx server fails, the app will now show a correct message informing about the failed connection. -- Wed, 20 May 2020 06:38:36 +0000 nordvpn (3.7.2) * Sometimes, a slow internet connection would prevent users from connecting to VPN successfully. We increased the timeout for API requests to make VPN experience smoother regardless of the internet quality. -- Wed, 06 May 2020 08:17:47 +0000 nordvpn (3.7.1) * Removed gawk dependency, which was needed for autocompletion to work on older systems. Now autocompletion should work just fine without it. * We made dockerizing the app easier to give you more flexibility. * Added more information to logs so we can troubleshoot more effectively. * Fixed: Now the app handles your manually whitelisted destinations better. -- Thu, 16 Apr 2020 04:25:17 +0000 nordvpn (3.7.0) * hat's new: * Now you can restore default settings by using the `nordvpn set defaults` command. * Access resources (computers, printers, TVs – you name it) while using VPN – now no matter on what network you’re on. * se the `nordvpn whitelist add subnet` command to specify subnet addresses. -- Thu, 12 Mar 2020 02:38:42 +0000 nordvpn (3.6.1) * Fixed: there was an edge case where the Kill Switch would disconnect you from the internet after a computer reboot. The evil bug is gone now. -- Fri, 07 Feb 2020 11:28:20 +0000 nordvpn (3.6.0) * If you ever want to create a new NordVPN account, you can do it right in the app – use the command `nordvpn register`. * Fixed: Autocompletion – the magic that cuts down key presses and saves you from typos in commands – wasn’t working properly in some distributions. Now it’s working completely fine. -- Thu, 02 Jan 2020 01:08:32 +0000 nordvpn (3.5.0) * Introducing the revamped internet Kill Switch for ultra security: when enabled, it will block your device from accessing the internet when you're not connected to VPN. * Wrong commands happen.

To start using NordLynx, you no longer have to download the WireGuard® package. Use the command ‘nordvpn set technology nordlynx’ – and that’s it! * The ‘nordvpn settings’ command shows the VPN technology you’re currently using: OpenVPN or NordLynx. * Here’s a little time-saver: when you’re connected to VPN and want to switch to another server or location, you can do it without disconnecting first. * When connecting to group servers, you can specify the location, for example, ‘nordvpn connect --group p2p Canada’. * Oh, and we almost forgot – a bunch of various fixes and improvements to make the app run smoother. -- Mon, 21 Oct 2019 10:02:09 +0000 nordvpn (3.3.1) * In the previous release, we introduced NordLynx – a solution for a fast and secure VPN connection based on WireGuard®. Now we’re bringing a few improvements to make your NordLynx experience even better: * * . The CyberSec feature now plays nicely with NordLynx.

Enter ‘nordvpn c’ to connect to VPN. * * hat’s it – now your app is running on NordLynx. You can always switch back to OpenVPN by entering ‘nordvpn set technology OpenVPN’. * * Now you can give us instant feedback about your connection speeds. Was it like driving an F1 racer? Or rather a slow and bumpy ride? We want to know. Your feedback will help us improve! * -- Tue, 30 Jul 2019 10:00:00 +0000 nordvpn (3.2.0) * New command: type ‘account’ to get your account information, such as subscription status and expiration date. * Improved performance and connectivity. * And something more than meets the eye: we’re tinkering with the things underneath to make your NordVPN experience even better. -- Thu, 04 Jul 2019 09:00:00 +0000 nordvpn (3.1.0) * Our users asked, we listened: sysV is supported again. * After releasing the previous version, MX Linux users got left behind. So we’re fixing it with this release. * Quick Connect works all better now. * Improved DNS leak protection handling. * Minor fixes here and there. -- Tue, 04 Jun 2019 12:00:00 +0000 nordvpn (3.0.1) * New: We want you to get the best experience using the latest version of NordVPN. That’s why we’ve implemented a version checker. 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. -- Thu, 09 May 2019 12:17:39 +0000 nordvpn (3.0.0) * Introducing specialty server groups. * New notifications added – only the important stuff.

It now shows country and region (if applicable) you’re connected to, as well as the connection time. -- Thu, 29 Nov 2018 05:30:00 +0000 nordvpn (2.0.0) * The NordVPN 2.0.0 is here – all better from the ground up! * The server picker algo-rhythm is a dancer with smart moves and new grooves. The algorithm is lightweight and extra smart now, so it selects the best server for you with even higher accuracy. * With this version, we say ‘yes’ to custom DNS. You can set your preferred DNS server manually by using ‘nordvpn set dns’. * The list of countries is now displayed neatly. * You can see a list of cities where servers are located in a specific country. * Poker face no more – we’re introducing loader, that is, a spinning indicator showing that your command is running. * Did some fine-tuning for the auto-connect. When it’s set, the app launches on startup and connects to VPN. If internet network errors occur, the app attempts to reconnect to VPN automatically. * Fixed: sometimes, the ‘nordvpn status’ has been failing to indicate the current server correctly, especially after changing a few of them quickly. Now, the status is shown real-time, indeed. -- Mon, 19 Nov 2018 09:00:00 +0000 nordvpn (1.3.6) * Introducing obfuscated servers. They serve as a “plan B” to connect to VPN if the regular way isn’t working due to tight Internet restrictions and censorship.

We strive to make our user experience just like that – exciting and smooth. With a few new notes for guidance and more detailed help commands, we believe we’re getting there. * We added extra powers to the ‘nordvpn status’ command, so now it shows the connection status, the server you’re connected to, your new IP address and the Internet protocol in use (TCP or UDP). * Improved compatibility with older OpenVPN versions. NordVPN works with the OpenVPN version 2.3.0 and later. * For the sake of effective troubleshooting, we fine-tuned the app activity logging to make it more detail. -- Thu, 30 Aug 2018 07:09:48 +0000 nordvpn (1.1.5) -- Tue, 21 Aug 2018 07:16:00 +0000
