Hi, I’ve tried to install nordvpn according to the arch wiki ( NordVPN - ArchWiki ). Installed nordvpn-bin using yay. Started the service, added my user to the nordvpn group, etc. I can connect to any country, but after I do my system freezes. I can still use the console though through which I can…
