morpheusthewhite / nordpy Goto Github PK

Hi. First of all, thank you for making nordpy. I really like the simplicity of it and the fact it is open source.

I have an issue with reaching (SSH)) my system after running nordpy.

I have a server with two vlan interfaces, eth0.100 and eth0.200.

> ip addr
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    [ ... ]
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether d0:63:b4:00:b1:3e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
[ ... ]
4: eth0.200@eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether d0:63:b4:00:b1:3e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.250.2/24 brd 192.168.250.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute eth0.200
       valid_lft 2057481sec preferred_lft 2057481sec
    [ ... ]
5: eth0.100@eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether d0:63:b4:00:b1:3e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.0.2/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute eth0.100
       valid_lft 2057481sec preferred_lft 2057481sec
    [ ... ]

There are default routes for both interfaces (with a different metric).

> ip route
default via 192.168.0.1 dev eth0.100 proto dhcp metric 400 
default via 192.168.250.1 dev eth0.200 proto dhcp metric 401 
[ ... ]

nordpy edits the iptables. I my case it denies incoming and outgoing traffic to all networks, except to one the one, which was previously the default route network.

> iptables -S   
-P INPUT DROP
-P FORWARD ACCEPT
-P OUTPUT DROP
-A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -s 192.168.0.0/24 -i eth0.100 -j ACCEPT
[ ... ]
-A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT
-A OUTPUT -d 192.168.0.0/24 -o eth0.100 -j ACCEPT
[ ... ]

My issue is: I want to access this device via SSH over the eth0.200 interface (192.168.250.0/24), But nordpy does not create the needed iptalbes entry. Could nordpy add ACCEPT rules for all internal (local) networks? Why is the default to DROP everything? Wouldn't it be enough to deny input on the tun0 interface? Sorry, I'm a bit confused by these rules.

Can you add a aur package for arch?

Is Windows support expected?

Here is the excerpt after running ./install.sh

Thanks for this tool. I hope you can add NordLynx support as well.

After losing the connection there was no way I could re-establish it (with or without vpn).
Wicd told me I was connected, nordpy said I was not and finally the only way to get back online was a full reboot.
Before that I tried disconnecting manually using nordpy's interface and reconnecting and this is what I saw on the console

Turning off killswitch looking for iptables in /home/lorenzo/nordpy-master/stored_iptables Selected a particular country: Germany resulting url: https://nordvpn.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=servers_recommendations&filters={%22servers_groups%22:11,%22country_id%22:81} Selected a particular country: Germany resulting url: https://nordvpn.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=servers_recommendations&filters={%22servers_groups%22:11,%22country_id%22:81}

but finally I was not able to get back online.

Before Posting an issue

• Installed all needed dependencies and that you run install.py
• Installed version: NordPy 1.3.2
• Installed with trizen

The bug
When I connect to any vpn and then diconnect my network is broken. I need todo a rebot to get my network working again.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install manjaro (with kde-PLASMA and kernel 4.19.85-1-MANJARO)
2. Install the latest nordpy with trizen
3. put in your credentials and leave all the settings to default-values
4. Connect to any server
5. Disconnect from any server

Sadly I did not know how I can give you some logs. If you tell me that I will do this.
It would be awesome if we can bring it to run. I did not change a lot on this manjaro install.

Add a section in NordPy GUI where the user can manually choose the VPN

Hello Morpheus,

since the update of ubuntu to 22.04 the default network connection does not come alive after ending nordpy. The only way to revive the network is a total reboot.
I have experienced this in Ubuntu standard, Mate and Budgie, so I assume it happens in the other flavors as well.
I hope you can and will do something to fix it because nordpy does make a very nice addition to nordvpn.

Kind regards, Lisa

Hi,
currently I'm trying to automate the connection to the NordVPN network. Using Google I found your project, which seemed quite useful, so I installed it on my Raspberry Pi (Raspbian Lite). However, on trying to start nordpy it fails and exits with the message that the tkinter package is not present. And there's my question: I want to use nordpy exclusively on the command line, so is it possible to install nordpy without the GUI?

Thanks!

Hi! Thanks for building this awesome utility. I was hating Openvpn until I found it. Everything works actually.

Only comment is that everytime I run Nordpy I need to resize the window because nothing is visible. Same happens with the pop out windows for choosing server manually. I must resize it in order to see the list, and the OK button below.

Im not sure if this is actually due to my system. Im running Mint 19.1
Anyway, here's a screenshot so you get an idea.

Hi,
While installing newest version (I had 1.3.2 earlier) I have an errors:

Required packages installed
installing certificates (needed by ipsec)
Can't open /etc/ipsec.d/cacerts/NordVPN.der for reading, No such file or directory

nordpy under Gnome can't be added to 'favorites' in Dash by right-clicking and selecting 'add to favorites'
If added forcibly (by dragging icon in overview manually to Dock or using dconf-editor) then a running instance of nordpy shows as a second item in the Dash

To Reproduce
Run nordpy from 'Applications overview' in the normal Gnome manner
Right-click of Dash icon does not have 'add to favorites' in context menu

Expected behavior
Should be possible to 'add to favourites'. This can be done by dragging the icon in the applications overview into Dash, but on next run a second application icon appears when running.

Assumed Cause
Application does not declare StartupWMClass correctly

Workaround
$ cp /usr/share/applications/nordpy.desktop .local/share/applications
Edit .local/share/applications/nordpy.desktop and add the following line:
StartupWMClass=tk

Second icon is not now shwon when running and the correct context menu appears on right-click

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Arch Linux/Gnome
• NordPy 1.3.3-1

Hi
First of all, I'd like to thank you for this amazing tool. Loved it.

Now the issue.
When I try to select the server manually it doesn't work, even if I click on it. For example, in the server menu, if I click on 'us' then 'us2715' (or whatever) it doesn't work, not even if I double click on it.

PS: I've tried re-installing it thrice

Describe the question
Is it possible to allow other devices on the local area network to connect with SSH to the computer running NordPy while VPN is active?

Expected behavior
I am hoping for a whitelist option for subnetwork and port to allow local SSH connections while the VPN is active

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Linux Distribution: Arch Linux
• NordPy version: latest

Additional context
The official NordVPN app for Linux is supposed to allow this feature, but it is currently not working correctly. I'm using the opportunity to find another app, and this looks like a good one.

Hi, first of all, great project! Thanks for taking the time.

I have just created myself a NORDVPN account. I knew beforehand that they only have a terminal app for Linux. However, I didn't know it's functionality is so limited.

I would like to be able to exclude certain apps from the VPN connection, since there are services which don't allow IP proxying.

I'm quite experienced in programming with Python. I would love to contribute something to implementing this feature. However, my experience with Linux is very limited. I wouldn't know where to start. Could you give me some directions?

When using nordpy with multiple monitors, the 'centering' code uses the dimensions of the extended desktop rather than (I suggest) 'screen 1', giving an odd position on setups with differently-sized displays.

Expected behavior
nordpy window opens at centre of one of the screens

Actual behaviour
nordpy opens at centre of extended desktop

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Arch Linux
• aur/nordpy 1.3.3-1

Very nice application, a lightweight alternative to the "official" nordvpn binary that doesn't use 200MB of memory.

Font size under Wayland is the same with both single/multiple screens. (I was wrong earlier, the dpi is different between the two screens.)

Under Xorg, single screen:

Xorg, two screens:

Obviously the centering of the window (which uses self.winfo_screenwidth()) is a separate issue

It seems there are DNS leaks when using the app.

Hi
I'm getting an error message when trying to run nordpy. I get the password prompt, but then the following message.

I have reinstalled and rebooted.

This is on a clean install of debian buster

hello thx for this app !

(nordvpn don't care of linux users)

So, i can't manage any autoconnection at startup :
first i need to type root password (root ? no sudo/sudoer ?),
i need to choose my location and number of server, and clic ok, and after clic to connect

is't possible to memeory this, and/or select some server we want to connect automaticaly ?

thx

Ubuntu 18.04 distro kde neon will freeze.

After installation and running as a non-root user from Master branch, prompted for root's password but not accepted and prompts again--"Wrong root password, insert it again."

Installing and using NordPy as root works great! <-- NOT TRUE

• Fedora 28 with current updates
• install.sh completed with only one oddity which at a glance does not seem related

    installing certificates (needed by ipsec)
    /etc/ipsec.d/cacerts/NordVPN.der: No such file or directory

Let me know if I can provide additional details or test something.

retrieve from https://nordvpn.com/api/server/stats the load of a specific server

Add a script to be runned for removing all what was installed by nordpy

Add support for ikev2/ipsec
https://nordvpn.com/it/tutorials/linux/ikev2ipsec/

This would be ideal if there was an option to disable/ignore the VPN DNS.
In windows I would typically download specific ovpn files and edit them to ignore the DNS in some cases.

Would a toggle be possible for this?

I'm under the latest arch as of 4/29/20 using nordpy 1.3.3-1.

Describe the bug
After providing the password the window with list of servers is not appearing.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to '...' - start / system tools / select nordpy
2. Provide password and press ok
3. Error - window with servers is not appearing

Expected behavior
As previously window with servers should appear

Additional context
My Raspbian was updated and I believe some of the settings/files/folders have been changed or removed. I'm not experienced with Linux so not sure how to fix it. Apologies for another issues raised.

Development and testing should be enhanced by the mean of some container/VM environment preconfigured, either Vagrant or Docker (or any other possibility suitable to test connection configuration)

As things currently are, your ip-ks.sh uses a rule which allows LAN access only if a user's network is configured 192.168.0.0/24. While this is common, other setups are not uncommon, and many routers default to 192.168.1.0/24. I'd love to see one of two solutions:

1. Allow a user to manually input an allowed range in CIDR notation. (less optimal- requires manual user adjustment) or
2. Find a way to programmatically determine the correct IP range to allow. I've looked into this just a bit and I've found a way to get my setup from bash, but I'm not familiar enough with different network configurations to know if this would be a universal approach or if it would vary heavily depending on network setup and easily break.
   ip r | grep 'link[ \t]' | awk '{print $1}'

This is more of a question than a bug report:

Is there a reason that nordpy_up.sh adds Google DNS servers to resolv.conf instead of NordVPN's own DNS servers?

Add "Update" button to re-download from nordvpn.com all .ovpn files
Also received as recommended server one which .ovpn is not on disk will result in a infinite loop (the thread is reading on the sdout ovpn indefinitely)

Change check button background color to support light themes

Implement a killswitch

Due to the recent release of Wireguard within the linux kernel it should be easier to enable and use it on all distributions, like Fedora which previously presented troubles while configuring it

Hi and thanks for the app, I've been waiting for ages for one of these (nordvpn told me they wouldn't bother)
I was going to suggest adding a button that kills IPv6 with
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
but then realised that this would probably only work on Debian (and forks).
So I thought why not suggest adding customisable buttons where the user could choose a system command to run.
For example I have UFW so implementing a killswitch can be done with these two commands :

sudo ufw default deny outgoing
sudo ufw allow out on tun0 from any to any 

(I know you can do it directly with iptables but never tried)

Adding customisable buttons would give each user the opportunity to implement a killswitch (or whatever) for their own distro. You wouldn't have to bother finding a "universal" solution that would work no matter the distro. Each user would pick their own solution or option and go with it.

That's all (thanks again for the app)

After last update (to version 2.5.0) openvpn generates a warning message

OpenVPN now uses a netlink interface for network configuration. The systemd
   units start the process with a dedicated unprivileged user 'openvpn', with
   extra capabilities(7). The configuration should no longer drop privileges,
   so remove 'user' and 'group' directives.
   Scripts that require elevated privileges may need a workaround

Indagate on the eventual needed modifications.

Maybe a button that launches a p2p software

Hi

I have updated my Pi 3 from Stretch to Buster and since then I was heaving problems with NordPy windows. I thought that I will reinstall everything as I hadthe same with few other apps and this helped.

With NordPy reinstall something went wrong and I can't run it again. Also I accidentally removed the desktop icon and it does not appear after reinstall.

Can you help me with this? I'm not experienced with Linux/Raspbian. Can I somehow remove all related to NordVPN / NordPy and start from beginning or fix what I have installed already?

Please see some info from terminal:

I managed to get the icon back. There was an issue with folders. Somehow folders have been relocated.

Now when I try to open the app I have the window for password, I'm keying the password and after pressing ok nothing is happening. The window itself looks not correct .

and resized:

Is there support CyberSec?

In the most recent version as of the posting of this issue:

Scripts do not have execute bit set, but they are called like executables.

So when you try to do that the OS reports that the program is not found.

You need to either call the scripts as a switch to the Python executable or set the executable bit during install.

Quick connect does not work if the last protocol used was IPsec

Connect to VPN through Network Manager instead of using OpenVPN. That would improve integration in the OS

Hi, had no problems on LM 19.3 but get the below trying to install on LM 20.
No matter what I select on the last line the Terminal closes.

I'm on Arch linux with KDE Plasma and I'm using these two repos for the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nordpy/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nordpy-plasmoid-git/

Describe the bug
I ran into a weird problem where I would experience a pam faillock because of this app. You can see some back and forth details on this thread on the Arch linux forums.

Ultimately, it looks like the following commands get called fairly frequently by nordpy in the background

sudo ipsec status
sudo ipsec --version

despite the fact that I hadn't installed strongswan.

This seemed to cause the pam faillock. When I added a NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/ipsec to my user in my sudoers file, the problem went away.

It seems that nord py

• shouldn't call ipsec if strongswan isn't installed
• shouldn't call ipsec status/--version with sudo at all, and if sudo is necessary, then there should be a better way to raise those privileges.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Linux Distribution: Linux-Zen kernel, Arch Distro, KDE Plasma
• NordPy version: 1.3.4

I don't know if other Arch users have run into this or if it's just due to a configuration on my own machine, but hopefully this report is helpful. I really appreciate this GUI and it has a ton of potential for us non-windows/mac users. :)

If I connect vpn once. I can't disconnect until reboot. When I disconnect I'll lost connection.
Ubuntu 20.10

Not sure if this is using GTK or Qt but the application has no theme for me
