njord 0.0.2

A Python package for programmatically controlling NordVPN.

Njord Python Package

Overview

The njord python package provides a convenient wrapper to programmatically working with NordVPN servers on Mac/Linux via OpenVPN.

Prerequisites

• sudo
• openvpn

Because njord relies on sudo and openvpn, it only works on OSX (including Apple silicone) and Linux. Linux is currently untested. Nord has an official client that may better serve your needs on Linux. Windows isn't supported.

Installing OpenVPN

OSX

$ brew install openvpn

Ubuntu

$ sudo apt-get install openvpn

Installation

$ pip install njord

Usage

Authentication

Authentication is handled via service credentials. Generate these via your Nord account at Services > NordVPN > Manual Setup

Copy the service credentials username and password. It's reccomended that you use a .env file for storing them. Njord will check for a .env file on initialization as well as os env variables. Authentication can also be done explicitly during init.

# .env
NORD_USER=xxxxxxxxxxxxx
NORD_PASSSWORD=xxxxxxxxxxx

from njord import VPN

# Using .env file or os env
vpn = VPN()

# Explicit
vpn = VPN(user="xxxxxxxx", password="xxxxxxxxx")

Connecting & Disconnecting

from njord import VPN
vpn = VPN()
vpn.connect()
vpn.protected()
>> True
vpn.disconnect()
vpn.protected()
>> False
