The official NordVPN clients for both Windows and Linux have well-known limitations. For instance, in Windows, to list
all servers of a specific country, you must use a search pattern like country_name #, while in Linux, it is not
possible at all. Furthermore, regardless of the platform, these clients do not provide essential information such as the
server's load and external IP, even if the user has the corresponding identification code.
To overcome these limitations, the current project expands the functionality of the official clients by introducing a solution in the form of a cross-platform system tray application. By placing an icon in the system tray, users can easily access a menu displaying the complete list of available NordVPN servers. The servers are conveniently categorized by continents and countries, allowing for effortless navigation. Moreover, they are ordered by their load, enabling users to select the server with the lowest load for optimal performance.
To install NordVPN Tray, run the following command:
pip install nordvpn-tray
To launch NordVPN Tray:
On Windows, double-click the nordvpn-tray.exe (usually located
in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Python\Python##\Scripts) or run the nordvpn-tray command from the command prompt.
On Linux, double-click the nordvpn-tray (usually located in ~/.local/bin) or run the ./nordvpn-tray command
from the terminal.
This error message indicates that the AppIndicator3 module, which the application uses to display tray icons on Linux,
is not available on your system.
To resolve this issue, you will need to install the libayatana-appindicator3-dev package, which provides the necessary
files and libraries for the AppIndicator3 module. To install the package, use the following command:
sudo apt-get install libayatana-appindicator3-dev
