NordVPN WireGuard: ERROR VPN settings: Wireguard settings: private key is not valid: wgtypes: incorrect key size: 48 #18

Closed Pyroluk closed 7 months ago

Hi@all,

today I was trying to start my previously working NordVPN WireGuard setup, but I now get this error: ERROR VPN settings: Wireguard settings: private key is not valid: wgtypes: incorrect key size: 48

I created a new access token on NordVPN’s website but the problem persists. Seems like someone at NordVPN felt the need to mess with the WireGuard configuration again...

Any ideas how to regain compatibility?

Cheers 🤙

I'm seeing the same thing

Hey guys,

the access token is not the private key.

I used this to get my private key: https://gist.github.com/bluewalk/7b3db071c488c82c604baf76a42eaad3

Thanks @cospeedster that likely solves it. I changed the Gluetun code in https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun/commit/8318be3159ec144bbaaeb5417231773f0b234c38 to log a warning you might be using your access token instead of the Wireguard private key if it sees the error wgtypes: incorrect key size: 48 AND nordvpn is the provider in use.
