Cannot establish connection

[lizardkingDOTca]

my password start with an equal sign [=], and contains a plug sign [+] and a double quote ["]
so not sure if that is the problem

[bubuntux]

can you provide more information, command used and full logs ? (leave out user/pass)
the password should not be an issue, you could double check it's properly set by
docker exec "container_name" cat /vpn/auth

[lizardkingDOTca]

running the command I got the expected value (ie user/password)

I use docker compose, I notice that if i use UDP instead of TCP I get a bit of different error (ie it add and extra error message "AUTH: Received control message: AUTH_FAILED" hence why i mention my password with special characters could be the issue.

The issues is def the password then
Can you remove the single quotes for the password?

from

• PASS='[password]'
  to
• PASS=[password]

[lizardkingDOTca]

So that did work for UDP (which I had not try yesterday without the quote, my bad)
But still not working for TCP
vpn-nordvpn.csv.log

[bubuntux]

are u on the latest version? i believe that issues was fixes already

[lizardkingDOTca]

the image is tag as "bubuntux/nordvpn:latest", so should I put another tag.
My docker-compose it set to pull "image: bubuntux/nordvpn" which should be the latest I would think

[bubuntux]

i'm not able to reproduce the issue, are you able to connect if you only add the parameter PROTOCOL TCP (so remove COUNTRY, CATEGORY and OPENVPN_OPTS) ?

[lizardkingDOTca]

I try removing country, category and openvps_opts, same results.

[bubuntux]

i'm not sure what it could be
can you try
docker pull bubuntux/nordvpn
and make sure your container is a fresh one using the latest version, that should fix the issue, since version 2019.03.01 include that fix

Hate to bring up a closed issue but I am having this exact issue. I can connect via UDP protocol without issue but I get gateway timeouts and the above errors when trying to connect via TCP using the latest release.

@kisonay is there a .tcp file available for the server you are trying to connect ?
