How to get connection logs on Linux

In order to get the connection logs from the Linux application, open the terminal and type this command:

sudo journalctl -u nordvpnd > ~/Desktop/daemonlog.txt

You will find a new file daemonlog.txt on your desktop.

In case this command does not work, most probably your operating system does not use systemd, so please try to use the second command:

sudo cp /var/log/nordvpn/daemon.log ~/Desktop/daemonlog.txt

If this command does not work, too, our Linux application most probably had nothing to log and did not create a log file.

If you encounter an issue with connectivity in our Linux application, please send us this file for further troubleshooting.
