Troubleshooting

If recently updated

Fallback to prev version, make sure that the issue is only happening on latest vestion. If recently updated to nordvpn-bin version (with wireguard capabilities) you can fallback to openvpn version bubuntux/nordvpn:openvpn

Review logs for errors

docker logs container_name Since the container will loop trying to connect infinitely you may need to stop the container so you can analyze the logs better.

Authentication issues

1. Check for spelling and typos.
2. Review the host firewall
3. Make sure special characters such as $ are properly escaped (surrendered by single quotes 'pa$$word' or replace it with pa\$\$word ).
4. Change your password!

Docker-compose

1. Try adding network_mode: bridge
2. Some ubuntu versions have a kernel bug that can be fixed adding

ulimits: # set these to unlimited
    memlock:
      soft: -1
      hard: -1

NordLynx doesn't connect

try adding --sysctl net.ipv4.conf.eth0.rp_filter=2 check issue #75

Others

1. Are you using the latest version? (remove existing container and docker pull before recreating the container)
2. Remove variable environments one by one until you find the one with the issue and add it into the bug description.
