Hi there,
Bought a new Mudiv2 without any research at all as my Christmas Gift. Just opened the box but can’t get the Mudi to connect to NordVPN (although it’s as simple as a built-in option, and I certainly entered my Nord login details correctly).
This error message keeps looping “The client is starting, please wait…”
Any idea please? Thank you
Where are u from? If a normal country i think wiregaurd is better than openvpn. Not sure if ur router supports it. But dealing with openvpn is not as easy as u think
Good advice thanks - I just copied the service credential + password across, then tried to enable connection to one of the server, but still no luck. The same “The client is starting, please wait…” prompt.
Thanks but I’ll stick with OpenVPN for now. I own 2 Opal routers and setting OpenVPN up on Opal was a breeze. It’s strange that the same steps aren’t working on Mudi v2 now
Could you please export the full log and upload it here?
Is your Mudi connected differently to the internet?
I had same issue too with openvpn on my flint 2. Its stuck in starting client… even on a server which i wad sure it should connect! I only remember once out of no where it turned green ( connected) and that was when my vpn was on on laptop! That was weird
Thanks so much, is the below sufficient?
(Mudi is connected via WIFI Repeater to my home Internet)

I also see an “IP Masquerade” function in the Mudi Admin Page and it’s turned on. Does that affect the connectivity and should I turn it on or off? Thanks again
Your user / password is wrong.
Let me guess: NordVPN?
In that case you need to get the right credentials from the dashboard.
Do you recommend PIA ( private internet access) ? i can connect with it on my home wifi internet via wireguard. when @bring.fringe18 gets back i wanna try it on my flint 2
if it connects on my ubuntu laptop i think it must connect on FLINT 2 too. since both are linux.
do u agree @admon ?
PIA is supported by the stock GL firmware. Let’s move this discussion back to the main thread.
Pls fix the nord credentials
All,
Just to close the loop on this one - the Mudi VPN finally started working for the first time after I reset the firmware to factory settings (not sure why as I only changed the passwords on the device)
Anyway, just happy that it’s working, have a great weekend all!
