nordvpn.sh not generating vpncgw.conf at correct location

[Tobias-Pe]

I saw that the nordvpn.sh created a vpncgw.conf in the same directory the nordvpn.sh is. It's not copied to /etc/openvpn/client like mentioned in the documentation, so that would be nice if you would change it in the script or the docu.

[Edit] Same thing with vpnservers.xml. Had to manually move it to /opt/vpncgw/

To make the vpncgw.conf work i had to change the server, certificate and tls-auth file because the provided standard one wasn't available anymore.

Also in the docu under NordVPN i should use my email and password in the auth.txt, but thats wrong.

https://support.nordvpn.com/Connectivity/Linux/1047409422/How-can-I-connect-to-NordVPN-using-Linux-Terminal.htm

But NordVPN wants the service username and service password. So that would also be nice to update in the documentation.

Here my vpncgw.conf:

client
dev tun
proto udp
remote de860.nordvpn.com 1194
resolv-retry infinite
remote-random
nobind
tun-mtu 1500
tun-mtu-extra 32
mssfix 1450
persist-key
persist-tun
ping 15
ping-restart 0
ping-timer-rem
reneg-sec 0
comp-lzo

remote-cert-tls server

#mute 10000
auth-user-pass auth.txt

verb 3
pull
fast-io
cipher AES-256-CBC
auth SHA512

ca nordvpn/de860_nordvpn_com_ca.crt
key-direction 1
tls-auth nordvpn/de860_nordvpn_com_tls.key

So now i can connect to the VPN, but it breaks when i switch.
The Vpn servers i switch to should be valid and have the same format in vpnservers.xml like the initial i connect to.

After looking into the /opt/vpncgw/vpncgw.py i realised that the script wasn't able to write to the /etc/openvpn/client/vpncgw.conf

I forgot to change the owner of this config file, after manually moving it.
So after nordvpn.sh created the script. Move the vpncgw.conf /etc/openvpn/client/vpncgw.conf and then

sudo chown www-data:www-data /etc/openvpn/client/vpncgw.conf

Like in the install instruction mentioned.

Now it works! Looks really great guys. Good work! :D
