Container doenst connect to my vpn since 2.7.0.

[crryp]

Since version 2.7.0 the container doenst connect to my vpn anymore. Im using nordvpn.

The log file shows this error:

Version 2.6.0 does work fine.

Nordvpn disabled basic authent with user/pass, you have to know use service credentials, it could be the cause of the issue

Well i was updating those when i found the issue. Since they did notify me by email about that change. So im using the service credentials. They work till 2.7 after they dont

Thank you @crryp and @yongbi85, I've just had this issue and solved it following your suggestion!

I'll leave the procedure here for it might be useful for someone:

Basically you now need to use a service credential in order to authenticate:

1. Browse https://my.nordaccount.com/dashboard/
2. Services > NordVPN
3. Scroll down to Manual setup > Set up NordVPN manually
4. Verify your email
5. Obtain the service user and pass
6. Change the container configurations to use these Service credentials instead of your account ones

I allready did this. Those work but not after container 2.6.

I did update to the latest container version then followed your steps allready at that time.

But it doesnt connect. I went back to version 2.6 and then it does connect with the service credentials. Im using the container on a synology nas with dsm 7.

Those work but not after container 2.6.

Same here. Using 2.6.0 with the new service credentials works, but not any version past that.

@crryp and @rikonor you seem to be having a different experience from me then.

I use Watchtower to keep my containers up-to-date, and so I'm using the latest available version from azinchen/nordvpn which, right now, is 2.9.0.

In my case it's the arm64 version of it, and the only issue I had was due to the service credentials requirement from nord vpn themselves.

So I'd say your issue is a totally different thing.
