Syntax Examples:

vpn Shows status and connect/disconnect options
vpn de Connect to Germany vpn us 3335, Connect to United States with server number 3335, the space is optional
vpn reconnect Reconnect to the current server, this is useful if you have issues with your connection
vpn d / vpn disconnect If connected the disconnect option is shown first.

Settings:

All these settings affect the Krunner plugin but not the actual settings of NordVPN

  • Default connection target Default country/server code to connect to e.g. DE or US2921, default value is US.
  • Status inside Krunner Format for the text of status option. All the options are prefixed with a % character. The keys are the same as in the NordVPN CLi but the spaces have been removed. To get the key and value you have to type the key in uppercase letters e.g.%COUNTRY, if you only want to get the value the key should be lowercase like %yournewip. The live preview of a status should help with the formatting.
  • Notify Send notifications if the connection changes, if you use this you might want to disable the notifications of the nordvpn cli nordvpn set notify disabled
  • Status Keys Set the keys for the status notification. They are used to filter the information from the NordVPN CLI. The checkbox Display IP Address by making ... fetches the IP address online so that you can be sure that you are connected.
