They have Nordlynx which is Wireguard protocol.
I have it setup on my Spitz
Nordlynx is a proprietary protocol based on Wireguard, but it's not plain Wireguard.
How are you running it on your Spitz?
You can try this: https://nord-configs-crafter.pages.dev/
Interesting web site. The only issue is I needed my public and private keys. Based on my research, I can get it on a linux computer running NordVPN
So...I spent the past 90 minutes installing a linux VM on my NAS, installing NordVPN on it only to find out that I need to install Wireguard, too. I just threw in towel. I'll just use a commercial VPN that supports Wireguard.
I think I know why NordVPN doesn't get a lot of love when it comes to Wireguard on a router.
NordVPN is somewhat scary. I don't like them.
I recommend Mullvad.
I have around 600mbps with NordVPN wireguard on Flint2.
Also i see Tp-Link has manage to use the token provided by NordVPN to connect to wireguard : How to set the NordVPN WireGuard on TP-Link Wireless Router
You need your token. You can get it from your nordvpn account. On the website provided by @admon you can generate the private key. I have spent 2 days with Linux VM to get the configs :)) didnt pay attention here. that website create everything for you.

So...I got my token from the NordVPN web site. I generated my private key from @admon web site and generated a few conf files. I manually update the files with my private key and uploaded them to the Flint 2. None of them would actually start a tunnel to NordVPN.
Can you post content of the .conf file? please remove the private key before posting. Or verify if you have this line : Address = 10.5.0.2/32 in the .config because i am sure is missing. for me was same .
Config should look like this :
[Interface]
Address = 10.5.0.2/32
ListenPort = 51820
PrivateKey = Your private key here
DNS = 103.86.96.100, 103.86.99.100
[Peer]
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0, ::0/0
Endpoint = 89.36.224.251:51820 - must be changed with the server you want to connect
PersistentKeepalive = 25
PublicKey = Your public key here
Sure. Here's one of them:
[Interface]
Address = 10.5.0.2/16
PrivateKey = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
DNS = 103.86.96.100
[Peer]
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0
Endpoint = 37.19.200.46:51820
PersistentKeepalive = 25
PublicKey = YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I generated a token at the NordVPN web site and let the other web site give me a private key.
Take the config i have sent and edit it with your info. Have you succeeded?
@admon do you have any recommendations of free one, that trustworthy enough not to be caught on selling users data?
Free != trustworthy.
I, personally, recommend Mullvad.net
$5 and you are happy for 1 month.
Free without selling data they cant support the servers costs and employees. I dont think any exits. i have buy nordvpn 2 years 25euro. was a super deal
I am assuming that you are referring to the post you made on post #30. There were a couple of minor changes that I made, but they didn't work either.
Here is what did. I went back to the Ubuntu VM I built and installed NordVPN on. Doing some research online, I discovered some commands that really helped from @teymur88.
As an example, I tried to connect to NordVPNs server 4896. I discovered that it was out of service. That's why it wouldn't connect. Another server that I downloaded a .conf file for exclusively for a dedicated IP option that I am not signed up for.
My goal is for a Dallas, TX server. First, I ran the command 'nordvpn c dallas'. It connected me with the us8096 server. As an experiment, I found I could actually specify the server, not just the city so I tried 'nordvpn c us4096'. I got a message that the server was not available. Then, I went to another .conf file I downloaded and tried the command 'nordvpn c us10111'. I got a message that said I couldn't use that server unless I signed up for a dedicated IP address.
I was looking for servers that had a low number of users. Apparently, don't use them if the load is zero. They're probably not up. I picked one with 13 users and successfully connected to the Ubuntu VM. I then went and found the server number at 'nord-configs-crafter.pages' and downloaded that config for it. I edited it with my private-key. SUCCESS! Just for fun, I ran a speed test for Wireguard and one for OpenVPN on the same NordVPN server. Here is the OpenVPN one:
Here is the Wireguard client on the same server:
As you can see, my speed is more than double with Wireguard.
Nice.Happy to hear you managed to make it work. Now enjoy it 
OK... In an asian country now... First timer to NordVPN getting my old GL-B1300 up on Nord to use from the hotel. .
I'll follow instructions here. Will using NordVPN on my router allow me to appear fully back in the US? (so YouTube can be accessed?) Will dnsleaktest.com still show I'm in the asian country?
And finally, how will it handle my connection if I try to run my company's VPN back to the US through this NordVPN enabled Router? (and have both VPN's UP)??
Pls upgrade your B1300 to latest firmware to prevent dns leaks etc. After you set up vpn, do a test as you said. Then just try youtube.
But as for your company VPN, they may not know you connect from Nord vpn IP address. So difficult to tell.
The best way to avoid company knowing you are away is to use your home vpn server.
