[tleung927]

I was using this docker for years and recently ipvanish got some problem, it keep crash and sometime it will back to normal. So i decide to give nordvpn a try.

Here is my install

-v /mnt/share/:/data
--env-file DockerEnv
-e LOCAL_NETWORK=192.168.1.0/24

But i keep getting this error
stdout: Wed Dec 29 00:13:34 2021 SENT CONTROL [us8585.nordvpn.com]: 'PUSH_REQUEST' (status=1)
stdout: Wed Dec 29 00:13:34 2021 AUTH: Received control message: AUTH_FAILED

I tried to use email/password and Service credentials (manual setup) from nordvpn website. But i still getting same error. Any suggestion?

[pkishino]

uhm,
NORDVPN_USERNAME
and NORDVPN_PASSWORD
are not valid variables..this should be

OPENVPN_USERNAME
OPENVPN_PASSWORD

[tleung927]

Oh my bad, that's the testing env, i was put OPENVPN_USERNAME OPENVPN_PASSWORD in my actual file.
The problem now is it will connect sometimes, but pop up same error show auth_failed most of time. Any idea?

[edgd1er]

you may try with advanced configuration service credentials:

[tleung927]

Thanks @edgd1er but i try email and service credential both have same problem. I think it maybe nordvpn server, or the account i bought from ebay is $5.99 for 2 years, i guess this account got ban or something

[tleung927]

so weired. It works with tinyproxy, i direct 9091 to 9999 then it works without any problem,
