polybar-collection VS openpyn-nordvpn

I have some examples in my polybar collection. You could use as a base to make your own theme.

You could check my collection, maybe you'll find something useful https://github.com/Murzchnvok/polybar-collection

I was in the same boat, the wiki seemed too much at first so I downloaded a few configs from others who had bars set up that I liked. After a while I still hadn’t gotten anywhere towards understanding how to make it “my own”. I then stumbled upon polybar-collection and everything just started to click for me. The configs and custom scrips are set up in an easy to understand framework, whereas all of the others I looked at were way over complicated. Take a look, I ended up building my own theme using this framework and feel much better about how to customize it to my needs.

I installed Polybar using the instructions here, but when configuring it I realized most of the modules don't show up at all. This is in my my config.ini:

You can find everything you need in this polybar collection. (btw I use debian)

Just a feel https://github.com/Murzchnvok/polybar-collection

just in case it doesn't work, verify your network name, just to see if it really is wlan0, also I have a nice collection that you can use as a reference or start point.

Used this idea, you can find some greatness here

Take a look in this collection.

Not a stupid question, that happened to me before. I personally would recommend Material Icons, but if you still want to use nf, you can just put a space before a after the icon. Something like this: %{T1} ICON %{T-}, you can find more info in polybar fonts, also you can check my collection.

I have the same setup on my PI4 and use openpyn - https://github.com/jotyGill/openpyn-nordvpn

It's easier to use the Nord Linux app if possible, otherwise check github for projects using OpenVPN and Nord configs. Some haven't been updated in a while but might still work. For example: https://github.com/jotyGill/openpyn-nordvpn

I use this openpyn python script to connect to nordvpn. After connecting then disconnecting, as a test, I ran the usual command:

This Python3 script has some nice options: https://github.com/jotyGill/openpyn-nordvpn I've been using it quite a bit.

I have Pi4(4GB), running Raspberry OS 64bit. I am using this software (https://github.com/jotyGill/openpyn-nordvpn) and basically connect using NordVPN using executable bash script (sample below) which is semi-automated once setup. If you are looking for a GUI interface then this might not be the best for you. Overall I am getting solid performance, no connections drop out.
