Current Behavior

Was working fine, but decided to update my docker images.

Updated, and now the container restarts every 60 seconds as it can't connect.

Expected Behavior

Connect to VPN

How have you tried to solve the problem?

Checked with NordVPN if they had any issues. Made sure I can resolve the NordVPN API and Downloads from within the container. It's also complaining that /etc/openvpn/nordvpn/default.ovpn doesn't exist - which is correct, it's not in the image it seems.

Anything else?

No response

@allywilson,

As you may have noticed, the nordvpn api cannot guess your settings, that's why 2021-09-10 19:35:23 Best server : has no value

Hence, the openvpn settings url is malformed: Downloading from: https://downloads.nordcdn.com/configs/files/ovpn_udp/servers/.udp.ovpn should look like: https://downloads.nordcdn.com/configs/files/ovpn_/servers/.nordvpn.com..ovpn

at least, two vars are missing, possibly three. (country, technology, and protocol(optional) ) see https://haugene.github.io/docker-transmission-openvpn/provider-specific/

Hi, Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

I've updated my run to be:

docker run --cap-add=NET_ADMIN -d \
              -v /media/DataStorage01/Downloads/:/data \
              -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
              -e OPENVPN_PROVIDER=NORDVPN \
              -e OPENVPN_USERNAME=\
              -e OPENVPN_PASSWORD=\
              -e WEBPROXY_ENABLED=false \
              -e LOCAL_NETWORK=10.0.0.0/24,192.168.1.0/24 \
              --log-driver json-file \
              --log-opt max-size=10m \

              --dns 8.8.4.4 \
              -e "OPENVPN_OPTS=--inactive 3600 --ping 10 --ping-exit 60" \
              -e "TRANSMISSION_RPC_AUTHENTICATION_REQUIRED=true" \
              -e "TRANSMISSION_RPC_ENABLED=true" \
              -e "TRANSMISSION_RPC_USERNAME=" \
              -e "TRANSMISSION_RPC_PASSWORD=" \
              -e CREATE_TUN_DEVICE=true \
              -e NORDVPN_COUNTRY=GB \
              -e NORDVPN_CATEGORY=legacy_standard \
              -e NORDVPN_PROTOCOL=udp \
              --restart=always \
              --name=transmission \
              haugene/transmission-openvpn:latest

Note the 3 additional NORDVPN settings.

But unfortunately it still does the same thing:

It keeps referencing default.ovpn - should that exist in the image or not? It's looking for it, but it does not exist.

thank you for your help!

Figured it out. Something on my network (wireless range extender) was responding to DNS requests with its own IP address (it does not even have a DNS server component, so that's new). Updated it's firmware, rebooted - all fixed. shrug

Thanks again!
