    if you add " auth-retry nointeract" line 32 under"auth-user-pass password.conf" this makes it a bit more stable

    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!

    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

    OK guys I've been a lazy sod and haven't bother having another go until tonight and got it working. Its really easy if you follow v8rick guide....however as mentioned the key to it working is doing it all in Notepad ++

    So I downloaded "uk169.nordvpn.com.tcp443.ovpn" which can be any that you want, take a pick.

    I opened this in Notepad ++ and straight away the layout is different to opening it in Windows Notepad. Make the change and then saveas "client.conf" close this file.
    I then opened up Notepad ++ and clicked "New", put my email and Nord password in and done saveas again and save as password.conf.

    I then connected to by box and created the "openvpn" folder on my box and uploaded both files, rebooted and was already started when checked.

    Thanks v8rick for your help.....just wanted to add my 2 cents above as I know a few people like myself where still struggling with it and hopefully this will clear it up.

    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
    Thank you sir. This worked perfectly for me! Thanks for putting this information together.
