The problem is it is a support forum and between you, you made progress, the reason you can't find any info is because like minded people don't or wont share.

I have owned forums and I am still admin on many and over the 20 years I have been doing this it drives me made the way attitudes towards helping others has changed.

If I did not share what I know with others I can assure you the sat scene would be very different.

I get that, but you also don't need every detail of us trying to figure out how to get it working across the forum.
It was only a couple of days and the only 2 people that needed that information straight away was us 2, so I didn't see the urgency to put it on the forum instantly.
It's on here now so doesn't really matter either way, working and no one is more happy than me.....and maybe v8rick

And me now

And a lot of Nordvpn customers no doubt:thumbsup:
Nordvpn helped a lot, they should be applauded for their great customer services.
They sent me quite a lot of emails with different settings to try.
The real thanks go to Nordvpn...from me anyway

Hi guys, could one of you post your config file please? Guessing there shouldn't be any personal info in the file as its a config file for Nord and your username and password are in the other password.conf file.

Thanks

Just add "password.conf" to the one you want as above.

No secret
For those struggling to set up openvpn on their VU+ box, this guide may be useful.
1. Go to the client support pages of NordVPN site and download the OpenVPN Configuration Files (Default)
2. From the zip file we need any ovpn file
3. Edit the name of the ovpn file to client.conf.
4. Open the client.conf and modify the line "auth-user-pass" so it reads "auth-user-pass password.conf" (without the quotes)
5. Create a password.conf file
6. Add the info to the password.conf file so the username and password are on separate lines.
7. Place all 2 files (client.conf, password.conf) into the openvpn folder on your box (etc/openvpn)
8. Reboot your vu+
9. Start the service from the settings - network - openvpn
10. ssh to your vu+ and check the ip with this command wget -qO- http://ipecho.net/plain;echo
This should do the trick.

read #2 we thought we were the only 2, I was gutted i had gone with Nord (im happy now) because everyone was with vanish or pia vpn
that wouldnt post a .conf file.
i spent about 40hrs on this between STELLA'S over the last couple of days and wasn't 100% it was there the above guide wasn't mine to post.

LOL forgive my punctuation been having a stella celebrating

Hi guys

Been trying all night to set this up on my vu duo I have NordVpn.

Have followed the instructions above and no luck.

Double checked the file names and that there are no errors.

my username on nord is my email address.
username and password go after all the text on separate lines?

is there any other files you need to put on the box?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help

works here.
are you using notepad++ to edit file and make your password.conf.
if you add "log /etc/openvpn/openvpn.log" in line 40 it will save a log then you can see whats happening.
if you add " auth-retry nointeract" line 32 under"auth-user-pass password.conf" this makes it a bit more stable
All without " " marks

Hi mate

Thanks for the response

Have done the above shows nothing in the log

I have created a notepad file amd put my username and passwors on two seperate lines

Also added the client.conf file and amended it so it includes the password.conf bit

Stumped!

[v8rick]

so are you using notepad ++ to create files

 

[v8rick]

are you changing name of norn ovpn file to client.conf before opening in notepad++

 

[v8rick]

Just looked back and Nothern monkey is using same box (superhub3 as riuter) as you His didnt work. I use Duo² suoerhub3 as modem and belkin as my router

 

[TheOne38]

so are you using notepad ++ to create files

For the password.conf file yes
For the client.conf file i rename it from the original file name then once i did that i went into it and put password.conf after auth-user-pass.so it reads

auth-user-pass password.conf

The end result is that on the client conf file this appears on line31

Can't see where i have missed anything!

Openvpn wasnt on on my box originally so i created it under etc amd put all files in openvpn folder

with notepad + + are you using UTF-8 encoding ?

 

[v8rick]

I have been using Nord in that setup for a few weeks and sorted other boxes for peeps that i know locally with the same setup and it works fine.
must be a router issue there have been other posts that say they have resoved the problem.I dont know the how as they have not posted
loads of vpn issues all i can suggest is look round other posts
