Calling qubes expets VPN sign in headache! Nordvpn wont work

[Wolf moon]

Guys despite going through guides like https://github.com/tasket/Qubes-vpn-support etc there are parts that qubes gets stuck on like in the mentioned guide I get to step 2 and it does not recognise command 1n which sticks me at that stage.

I have all the config files downloaded from nord.

Can you show me either a simpler way to sign on to my vpn account or point me in the right direction of a guide that actually works.

I had no issues signing into my vpn service via the command line on my raspberry pi and on my windows 10 machine it was even easier as it could download an app.

Best,

Wolf moon

If you don't know exactly what you are doing it is best to copy & paste the commands. In Qubes this is done a little differently, so be sure to read this first:
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/copy-paste/

The command is LN in lower case ln, not 1n.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ln_(Unix)

It should work but if it doesn't you could still try the "old" command line approach, explained here:
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/vpn/
The instructions you should try start under the headline "Set up a ProxyVM as a VPN gateway using iptables and CLI scripts"

Good luck!
