NORDVPN prevent traffic leakage settings don't work

[Lynx]

Also @gien I use NordVPN myself. They are great, but you may well want to consider using WireGuard rather than OpenVPN. Check out this excellent guide here:

[Instruction] Config NordVPN wireguard (Nordlynx) on OpenWrt

As you guys may know NordVPN supports wireguard for over a year now and unfortunately they're not planning to release configuration files anytime soon. I thought sharing this tutorial here so people can at least enjoy the performance of wireguard. All you need is linux machine or if you don't have one run it on vm. I'm using ubuntu. install following packages on your machine: wireguard sudo apt install wireguard curl sudo apt install curl jq sudo apt install jq nettools sudo apt install…

The reason for the above steps is that NordVPN don't release WireGuard credentials. They want everyone to use their own NordLynx built upon WireGuard, but it is easy to extract the relevant credentials as demonstrated above. I think NordVPN are fine with this, they just don't (yet?) officially support WireGuard.
