Problem communicating with nordvpnd through socket #1

Closed quoimec closed 2 years ago

Hello, thank you for taking the time to make this, this is such a pain with the current Nord package.

Unfortunately through, I am running into some issues when running this script. I installed the service but came back to find that my vpn connection had been up for 10+ hours and had the DNS issue. I then tried manually running the script and got this response from the logs:

Initializing NordVPN reconnector with a maximum uptime of 4 hours
Desktop notifications are disabled.
Current uptime is 15 hours 30 minutes, which is greater than 4 hours
Attempting to reconnect.
-Attempting to kill process 2243 for service nordvpnd
./nordvpn-reconnect.sh: line 117: kill: (2243) - Operation not permitted
Failed to kill service; it may be that the service is running at a higher privilege than this script
Asking nordvpnd-killer.service to take care of this for us.
Whoops! /run/nordvpn/nordvpnd.sock not found
Whoops! /run/nordvpn/nordvpnd.sock not found
Checking again in 24 minutes

Any thoughts? I don't think I did anything strange when setting up Nord so I am a bit stumped.

Any help much appreciated!

Hi,

Did you ever add your user to the nordvpn group?

sudo usermod -aG nordvpn $USER
quoimec commented 2 years ago

Yep, my user account appears to be part of the NordVPN group

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ groups pi
pi : pi adm dialout cdrom sudo audio video plugdev games users input netdev spi i2c gpio docker nordvpn debian-transmission

I'm not able to reproduce this. Can you actually verify that the socket exists?

stat /run/nordvpn/nordvpnd.sock

and can you check to see if the service is up and running?

pgrep nordvpnd

Did you get this working? Is it possibly related to the NordVPN client issue discussed in #5?

same issue for me, we're both on a pi. I'm on ubuntu, when I attempted using nord on raspbian os, it was more unstable. I still receive the same message, nord reconnector is incapable of killing the process due to a permission issue despite adding the default user to the nordvpn group. after it is force killed by the sister script (nordvpnd-killer), nord then cannot start correctly without a reboot of the device. I attached a system log to my thread.

@N72826 1e08492c04f46aef0dcc6728645ce97fc1d6e003 should help you out by trying to start up the service after killing it.
