Can I use WireGuard with NordVPN (OpenVPN Slow)

General

NordVPN Nordlynx which is their wireguard version isn’t downloadable is it? Anyone got wireguard working on PiFi

Openvpn isn’t too bad on pi 5 but I wanted to use pi 4 and openvpn perf isn’t as hot on that

Yeah it works, if you use NordVPN Wireguard Config Generator

Quick how-to:

  1. Make sure your logged in at NordVPN

  2. Visit https://my.nordaccount.com/dashboard/nordvpn/access-tokens/authorize/ to get your token (Generate New Token > Choose ‘Never Expire’ then copy what shows)

  3. Go to NordVPN Wireguard Config Generator (linked at top) and tap ‘Generate Private Key’ and paste your token from stage 2 to get private key

  4. You can then download any configs at NordVPN Wireguard Config Generator

  5. Edit the config file and add in your private key from step 3

[Interface]
PrivateKey = YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY_HERE #Add your key from stage 3
Address = 10.5.0.2/16
DNS = 103.86.96.100

[Peer]
PublicKey = [It is populated here]
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0
Endpoint = 87.120.102.3:51820
PersistentKeepalive = 25
  1. Save the .conf file after adding your private key and just add it to the PiFi App
