Hi, I will assume you running ubuntu based distro and recently did update. Run the following

sudo python3 -m pip install --upgrade openpyn

If this works/does not work please comment back here

Same issue for me and the

sudo python3 -m pip install --upgrade openpyn

thing did not change the situation. I have this on 2 machines running debian 11.

Nordvpn API is currently not returning anything. it's probably temporary issue. unless they are actively blocking these requests. In the mean time, manually connect to servers like. openpyn -s uk1402

you can find the list of servers in files/ovpn_udp folder.

Find the installation path from the error, it can be different for different OSs. For example for the above user it's ~/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/openpyn/files/ovpn_udp

$ openpyn -v openpyn 2.7.5 Same situation Ubuntu Server 18.04.4 and Kali Linux

Now the openpyn scripts work again on my machine.
