Finally NordVPN goes WIREGUARD.

https://www.tomsguide.com/news/wireguard-nordvpn-nordlynx

Hopefully there will be a guide soon for DD-WRT.

I already have now Wireguard from MullVad and that's working fine but I already paid NordVpn for three years!

LOL guide you say? See the 2nd and 4th stickies.

WireGuard Setup Guide by egc

Idiot's Guide to Configuring Wireguard - Client Tunnel by Hellakenut

Maybe you want a provider specific walkthrough? Sorry, I already put my clown down.

The next public build after 04-20-2020-r42954 will have updated WireGuard 1.0 and tools.

I think this was originally posted in Broadcom, General, or Atheros, I forget. I moved it to where it should've been posted. I wasn't going to comment. Probably because I knew you or @egc would Wink Cool

The article is about the release of NordVPN's client software applications for all the major operating systems.

It wasn't a full roll out until recently, after WireGuard 1.0 was audited and released. Full deployment is April 24 for all users.

Also, their double NAT solution to the static IP situation prevents identifiable information from being stored or leaked.

I found this thread for someone having success with OpenWRT/NordVPN/Wireguard.

https://forum.openwrt.org/t/solved-nordvpn-openwrt-wireguard-client/36742

I've contacted NordVPN for credentials and they say they aren't supporting native wireguard yet. Ugh.

Anyone else have any success with dd-wrt/nordvpn/wireguard?

I use NG wireguard on my Android TV through their app. Works great.

I don't believe there is going to be a way to work their double-NAT magic through a router though, but it's hard to be sure, because they are vague about exactly what it does.

They may decide to allow router users to configure a straight wg client without the double-NAT. Or they may not. They have hinted in the past that they don't intend to support the router community indefinitely. They really want people on their apps.

Is there any update on trying to set up Wireguard with NordVPN. I came across this post https://www.reddit.com/r/PFSENSE/comments/m0989o/nordvpn_wireguard_setup_works/ and wondered it if its helpful to get us going with connecting.

Im trying to make sense of this but would appreciate it if someone more familiar with wireguard setup would look at it.

Excellent guide from @egc


https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=324624

And I'm guessing that you will need to update your firmware.

If you use a macOS you can follow this guide to get your wiregards private and public keys directly on osx in a easy way:
https://www.reddit.com/r/WireGuard/comments/xqz102/extract_nordvpn_wireguard_config_with_macos_no/

I've found that it works better at least for me with MTU = 1384 and with nordvpn DNS servers via tunnel 103.86.96.100, 103.86.99.100.

Also found that instead of using the ip adress on endpoins address you can use for example us5103.nordvpn.com . This way you can easily change the enpoins just changing the inital andress for example uk1957.nordpvn.com. The private and public keys are the same.

I hope this can help someone.

Take Care

What's the difference in running it in Linux distro regarding double nat?
I've used Nord wg in router for over 12 months with no issues.

foz111: I would like to use NordVPN Wireguard on my dd-wrt router but I am confused on how to set it up from the search results on it.

If you are using NordVPN Wireguard on dd-wrt can you point at a guide to setting it up or provide instructions? Maybe it exists and I just haven't found it.
