Restarting NordVPN tunnels

Is there a way to restart NordVPN tunnels via script, that would be equivalent of toggling them off and then on in the gl-inet web gui?

(my setup is a Flint2 on 4.8.3 with NordVPN tunnel for specific domains, the tunnel seems to work for a while, then fail, but work after toggling in the gui. I have watchcat configured, and the logs show it trying to reset the interface, but that doesn’t seem to fix it)

The traffic is to things like a mail server, so it isn’t an issue if the connection drops midway through an operation -they’re all small atomic operations on each connection, it’ll do it on the retry. If a dumb ‘reset every X hours’ script would work instead of watchcat that would be great (or if watchcat could run a script instead of preconfigured actions)

Hi

I think we ought to look into why NordVPN keeps disconnecting?

But if you'd rather resolve it directly by restarting once it fails, you could try using the following command:

/etc/init.d/vpn-client restart
