# NordVPN Client
|
|
|
|
Cross-platform NordVPN lifecycle management for macOS and Linux hosts.
|
|
|
|
## What This Skill Is For
|
|
|
|
- Probing whether NordVPN is already installed
|
|
- Bootstrapping NordVPN if it is missing
|
|
- Logging in through the Linux CLI or the macOS app/CLI path
|
|
- Connecting to a country or city before a follow-up action such as `web-automation`
|
|
- Disconnecting and checking VPN status
|
|
- Verifying public IP and geolocation after connect
|
|
|
|
## Command Surface
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
node scripts/nordvpn-client.js status
|
|
node scripts/nordvpn-client.js install
|
|
node scripts/nordvpn-client.js login
|
|
node scripts/nordvpn-client.js verify
|
|
node scripts/nordvpn-client.js verify --country "Italy"
|
|
node scripts/nordvpn-client.js verify --country "Italy" --city "Milan"
|
|
node scripts/nordvpn-client.js connect --country "Italy"
|
|
node scripts/nordvpn-client.js connect --city "Milan"
|
|
node scripts/nordvpn-client.js connect --country "Italy" --city "Milan"
|
|
node scripts/nordvpn-client.js disconnect
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Platform Notes
|
|
|
|
- Linux:
|
|
- uses the official `nordvpn` CLI
|
|
- install path follows NordVPN's Linux installer
|
|
- token login is supported through `NORDVPN_TOKEN`
|
|
- macOS:
|
|
- prefers Homebrew cask install: `brew install --cask nordvpn`
|
|
- prefers a usable `nordvpn` CLI if the installed package exposes one
|
|
- otherwise falls back to opening the NordVPN app and guiding the manual login/connect path
|
|
|
|
## Credentials
|
|
|
|
Do not store secrets in this skill.
|
|
|
|
Supported env vars:
|
|
|
|
- `NORDVPN_TOKEN`
|
|
- `NORDVPN_USERNAME`
|
|
- `NORDVPN_PASSWORD`
|
|
|
|
Optional credential file env vars:
|
|
|
|
- `NORDVPN_TOKEN_FILE`
|
|
- `NORDVPN_PASSWORD_FILE`
|
|
|
|
## Verification Behavior
|
|
|
|
`status`, `verify`, and `connect` report machine-readable JSON including:
|
|
|
|
- platform
|
|
- install state
|
|
- auth state
|
|
- connection state
|
|
- requested target
|
|
- public IP lookup and geolocation
|
|
|
|
Use this skill first, then run the follow-up task under the active VPN session.
|
|
Use `verify` when you want an explicit post-connect location check without changing VPN state.
|
|
|
|
## Known Boundaries
|
|
|
|
- Linux country connect is official CLI behavior.
|
|
- Linux city connect is attempted through the CLI target string and then validated by post-connect IP/location checks.
|
|
- macOS app-only fallback cannot guarantee non-interactive login/connect if the installed app does not expose a CLI. In that case the skill will open the app and return a clear manual-action-required result.
