nordvpn-reconnector.service inactive (dead) #7

Open corywf opened 2 years ago

Hi! Thank you for these awesome scripts. I am trying to solve the issue of NordVPN freezing and eventually killing my home internet access. All my traffic goes through the VPN. There's no high speed internet at my house so I'm using a 4g cell modem. The provider throttles my connection unless I am connected to a VPN. I'm using a RaspberryPi on raspbian buster.

The script seems to install fine but the nordvpn-reconnector.service won't start. I'm not very familiar with linux and don't know how to troubleshoot this issue.

Here's the output after installing and enabling the service. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

pi@raspberrypi:~/nordvpn-reconnect $ sudo ./install.sh install enable start

I am also having the same problem. the script seems to run but I would prefer the daemon. I'm on ubuntu 20.04 - any help appreciated!

anyone there?

I've discovered an ?error, anyway a discrepancy in the installer script, it seems to install the reconnector service to /etc/systemd/user/ but the killer service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/. though I know very little about ubuntu, I noticed many other services in the /usr/lib... folder, so I tried copying the reconnector service there (sudo), started it, and voila! it works. hope that helps!

Awesome! That worked for me as well.

I spoke too soon. The scripts are killing NordVPN after 2 hours but it's not reconnecting. I'm not sure how to debug this. @liminally is this happening for you or is it reconnecting?

liminally commented 2 years ago

same problem here, and it's not a clean reconnect, I have to reinstall nordvpn to get it to work again. hope the developer chimes in here soon! the script seemed to work ok, guess I'll go back to that for now.

What script did you end up using?

liminally commented 2 years ago

cd nordvpn-reconnect/ ./nordvpn-reconnect.sh

this is less desirable as you have to leave the window open for it to run.

corywf commented 2 years ago

It does work that way!
