NordVPN Wireguard Brume2

Hi. So now I’ve got NordVPN I’ve added it to Brume 2. I assume the fact the Nord logo is showing under vpn client, Glinet now supports NordLynx natively? My other query is servers. When I get the access token and look at vpn client country options, why does it only show Seattle? It shows 20 servers in Seattle but no other location in America. However when I load the iOS or Apple TV Nord app, I can choose a huge number of locations throughout the whole of America. What’s going on?

Thanks !!!!

The 20 server limit is currently an issue on Nords side:

Thanks but it still doesn’t make sense as it shows 20 servers in US that are all in Seattle. Weird. Why Seattle …

I’ve just emailed Nord Support about this API flaw. Interesting to see what they say. I’ve also sent them a screenshot from gl.iNet nord selection screen. Expect they will say they’ve never heard of it and it’s a Gl.Inet issue. LOL.

Nord have just come back to me saying it’s basically a fault with Gl.INet, not them:

“” Unfortunately, as the Pre-built NordVPN configuration was made by Gl.Inet themselves, there's not much we can do to assist. It's outside our scope of support.””

I did reference the API but they’ve said it’s a Gl.INet issue?

Bruce can you advise? Thanks!

Follow up by Nord:

“” The NordVPN pre-built configuration was made by the Gl.Inet team, there was no involvement from our side.””

Surely Gl.INet need to get on top of this 20 server Nord limit. Seems clear it’s a Gl.iNet problem now.

Best would be to withdraw the NordVPN integration until it's stable then.

Can we get an official comment on this? Thanks

What else official do you need? :wink:

Just wanted some clarification really as Nord were telling me they had no involvement in the Gl.INet integration. And they’ve basically said to me the integration was a bit of a hack as it’s not supported by them. So I was interested to know where this 20 server limit comes from when Nord had no involvement?

Pretty sure because GL reverse engineered the Nord API somehow, I guess. More for convenient usage of the router than for being in partnership with Nord.
@bruce Maybe you can do an more or less official statement here?

We never reverse engineered the Nord or related anything.

We have cooperation with Nord, and they provide the APIs, otherwise how can Nord allow APIs to obtain such important information such as VPN profiles, and also can login to the NordVPN credentials in GL GUI.

I will ask with R&D about this issue.

So weird that Nord says there is no cooperation then .... Damn, I hate them so much :smile:

I hope this can be fixed, I’d like to use WireGuard too.

Nord people are just lazy because they should allow you to download WG config files manually like Proton, Mullvad, etc.

Hi,

I have communicated with relevant guys.

This is because Nord VPN has restrictions about the external APIs.
The US indeed only display the group of Seattle.

We will try to further negotiate and communicate with NordVPN.
