[NordVPN]

Finally resolved this and got NordLynx container working!

 

Here are the steps I took:

- To obtain my NordVPN Token, I followed the process outlined here.

- Following the above, I obtained a Token

- I then opened a console in UnRAID itself and entered the following command:

docker run --rm --cap-add=NET_ADMIN -e USER='[email protected]' -e PASS='myNordVPNaccountpassword' -e TOKEN='thetokenfromNordVPN' bubuntux/nordvpn:get_private_key

- This resulted in the following:

Waiting for daemon to start up...

Welcome to NordVPN! You can now connect to VPN by using 'nordvpn connect'.

Technology is already set to 'NORDLYNX'.

Connecting to Canada #1653 (ca1653.nordvpn.com)

You are connected to Canada #1653 (ca1653.nordvpn.com)!

############################################################

IP: 10.5.0.2/32

Private Key: REDACTED

＼(＾O＾)／

############################################################

- I then used the "Private Key" value within the NordLynx container's PRIVATE_KEY variable parameter.

- Once the container was installed and running, I bashed into the container and entered: curl ifconfig.io which returned 86.48.14.182

- I copied that value and navigated to https://whatismyip.com and entered 86.48.14.182 into the search field.

- Searching that IP address returned a NordVPN server based in Canada.

- To test it, I changed the filters\[country_id\]=38 within the NordLynx container to a value of 74 (France) and restarted the container.

- Bashing into the container's console again, I executed a curl ifconfig.io and searched the resulting IP address https://whatismyip.com which returned a site in France. 

 

Based on the above, I believe that the container is now working.

 

- I then added two port fields to the container which are the two ports that qBittorrent uses.

- Then, within the advanced view of the qBittorrent parameters, I set the following:

Extra Parameters: --net=container:nordlynx

Network Type: None

 

Finally, to test the obfuscation of my IP address, I navigated to https://torguard.net/checkmytorrentipaddress.php and copied the "Download Now" link and added a new torrent to qBittorrent using the copied link. On the torguard website, the address being broadcasted was that of the NordVPN server and NOT my actual WAN IP.

 

So, success. Finally. Amen.

 

Thank you @jimdaway I was able to get my NordLynx functioning via your walk-through!

Strangely my nordvpn docker was working without issue until this evening when I updated my server to 6.11.5. Only issue was for the past few days it would say an update was not available. After upgrade the nordvpn docker fails to start up. Will there be an updated repository or is migrating to a new docker image the only route? This is all pretty much over my head, but the original nordvpn docker I was able to set up and maintain for over a year without any issues so I am kind of bummed!
