Since this application only operates on top of the NordVPN CLI (nordvpn), there are some requirements when it comes to compatibility.

Of course, you are best off with the latest version, but it’s recommended to use at least NordVPN CLI v3.7 (2020-03-12) for NordVPN GUI >= v1.0.

Why v3.7?

  • It’s the version this app was developed with initially.
  • The new command nordvpn set defaults is required to restore the default settings.
  • As of the time writing (v3.8.10, 2021-01-26), there were no changes to the CLI for almost a year. Hence at CLI is considered to be relatively stable. There were much more changes between v3.7 (2020-03-12) and the first public release v1.1.5 (2018-08-21). You can take a look at NordVPN’s changelog here.
  • Older versions are not tested and therefore not guaranteed to be working.
