Hey, so I had a gluetun container running with docker and a NordVPN Wireguard setup. It was working for months and all of a sudden I want to say in October, it just stopped working and I have no way to get my Wireguard info from Nord.

Has anybody else faced this issue?

Nord has a bad reputation for privacy, maybe change your provider? Use mullvad or proton if you want a better experience.

I think it would be safe to assume that they are blocking some things due to their background, that could be your problem.

Which background? Can you share some references?

Agreed Mullvad is the best provider, but Proton? I don't know.. I remember some news about how they shared info with security agencies, about a user that was (allegedly) a terrorist..

Nord had a big data breach that showed they collect protocols.

Source? I recall that they only changed their policy from "we will not comply with a request," to, "we comply with lawful requests," and the breach was about confidence, not showing they gathered data they claimed not to gather. They still maintain that they don't log connection details, only payment and account creation, but the rewording of the policy at least implies that they could log more "if asked," which does leave the user wondering.

Unless you know something I don't...

They where forced to,but the Swiss authorities don't order such things usually, and especially not when its from outside Switzerland.
