This tool automates extracting of the NordVPN WireGuard privatekey from keychain (macOS). Please make sure you read Usage below.
npm install -g generate-nordvpn-wgconf
Generate configurations using the command-line interface. The tool supports several options for customization:
You have to either specify your NordVPN WireGuard privatekey (if you know it already), or specify your NordVPN AccountID, get it from https://my.nordaccount.com/dashboard/nordvpn/manual-configuration/
--pk
is specified, it will just use that and no macOS specific functionality is used--nordvpn-accountid
is specified, it will do a keychain lookup to find your NordVPN credentials, to extract the privatekey.Read carefully, otherwise it won't work.
After doing that, NordVPN will store the NordLynx (WireGuard) credentials in keychain, for us to extract.
--country
, -c
: Specify the country code(s) (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code) for which to generate the configuration. For example, US
for the United States. DE,JP
for Germany and Japan.--wireguard-privatekey
, -pk
: Your WireGuard private key. This is required unless using --nordvpn-accountid
.--nordvpn-accountid
, -id
: Your NordVPN account ID. Required if you do not provide a WireGuard private key.--dns-server
, -dns
: Specify the DNS server to use in the configuration. Defaults to 103.86.96.100
.--amount
, -a
: The number of configurations to generate for the specified country. Defaults to 1
.--all-countries
: Generate configurations for all available countries.--outdir
, -o
: The output directory for the generated configuration files. Defaults to the current working directory.To generate a configuration for a specific country with your WireGuard private key:
node index.js --country US --wireguard-privatekey YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY --outdir /path/to/output/dir
To generate multiple configurations for a specific country:
node index.js --country US --wireguard-privatekey YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY --amount 5 --outdir /path/to/output/dir
To generate configurations for all available countries:
node index.js --all-countries --wireguard-privatekey YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY --outdir /path/to/output/dir
To generate configurations for all available countries:
node index.js --country JP,DE --wireguard-privatekey YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY --outdir /path/to/output/dir
