I have a Puppeteer app running on a Windows Server. That server's IP address is blocked by some of the sites it has been crawling, so it needs a new one. I have a NordVPN account but have been informed via Server Fault that if I were to run the NordVPN app that I would lose remote desktop access at its static IP ( -adding-nordvpn-to-a-windows-server-block-remote-access-at-its-ip/1060085) and I believe that websites whose DNS is pointing at that IP would not be accessible either, so I need a different solution.
yeah, so in windows explorer go to network and select the computer name and no go. But when i go to run and enter the IP address of the computer try to access it that way it works. I messaged NORD VPN and they said when using a VPN you cannot access local resources on any VPN platform. I was like no i have used different VPN services and I can access local resources with them. The only reason i want to go with NORD VPN is due to the compatibility with other devices.
I installed wireguard after nordvpn using sudo apt install wireguard (I have ubuntu), wireguard commands work like wg --help but when you type in the command sudo wg show nordlynx private-key it gives me that unable to access protocol message, I tried running the command under su and bash to no success either
Good news guys eventually got my private key after installing Debian on a virtual machine then installing wireguard under root and installing nordvpn 3.3.0 under root, it now shows it as an interface in wireguard, so glad I got this working lol thanks for all the assistance guys
This is exciting, out of curiosity what are the performance differences you are seeing with wireguard vs ovpn on nordvpn? I tried re-creating your steps but failed miserably. So I am going to start again from scratch. Any chance you could put together the step by steps one would need to do to get this implemented correctly?
