version 3.17.x require privileged rights to execute. Did you add that to the launch command or to the docker-compose.yml ?

you could either try

• to run with an older nordvpn version ( NORDVPN_VERSION=3.16.9)
• or run the container privileged

That works, thanks !

However, I'm downloading at 1.3 MB/s, on a server that can download way faster than that ?

PS : sorry for the version thing, I did read the README but understood it backwards, believing that older versions were the ones having an issue, instead of the opposite 😅

if this part is unclear, feel free to suggest a better wording.

As for the download rate, wireguard (nordlynx client) rate are 5 to 10 times better than openvpn's. The download rate depends highly on vpn's server usage and remote server(s). There was an api to monitor vpn's server usage that has been deprecated for a while. There is an alias dltest that is an estimation of the best download rate you could expect..

Exactly, for now I've actually been directly using their SOCKS5 proxies, which achieves 100 MB/s, but since my server can do better, I'd like to switch to WireGuard, on which NordVPN says they can deliver up to 10 Gbps.

Yeah I'm doing almost the same thing xD

Nordvpn by default is set to use wireguard (nordlynx) protocol.
example from docker compose:

- TECHNOLOGY=NordLynx #OpenVPN or NordLynx

I can(t say if docker has a network limitation so other container also have access to the network

a network limitation so other container also have access to the network

What do you mean ?

I'm accessing your container's proxy from the host.
