Setup & Installation
Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
Version History
- Documentation updated to clarify that on some systems, the full path (/snap/bin/nordvpn) may be required to run the CLI when installed via snap. - No changes to code or implementation; this is a documentation-only update.
What This Skill Does
Controls the NordVPN Linux CLI from automations and workflows. Supports connect/disconnect, location selection by country, city, or server group, status checks, settings management, and allowlist configuration.
Wraps raw CLI commands with verification steps and safe fallbacks, so automations don't silently proceed with the wrong IP or a dropped tunnel.
When to use it
- Route automation traffic through a specific country
- Temporarily tunnel outbound requests through a P2P server group
- Verify VPN connection state before running a sensitive script
- Toggle kill switch on/off as part of a security workflow
- Reconnect to a different city without manual intervention
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: connect to Sweden and confirm the VPN is active
- 1Run `nordvpn status` and parse current connection state
- 2If already connected to Sweden, return 'already connected'
- 3If connected elsewhere, run `nordvpn disconnect`
- 4Run `nordvpn connect Sweden`
- 5Run `nordvpn status` again and return parsed server, country, and IP
Connected to a NordVPN server in Sweden, current IP confirmed
