i'm trying to install nordvpn on Ubuntu 20.04, but i get 'NOSPLIT'. I tried multiple solutions here in the stack but it seems I can't get an answer. here what I get after the apt update.

    Get:1 http://repo.nordvpn.com/deb/nordvpn/debian stable InRelease [317 B]    
Err:1 http://repo.nordvpn.com/deb/nordvpn/debian stable InRelease            
  Clearsigned file isn't valid, got 'NOSPLIT' (does the network require authentication?)
Hit:2 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal InRelease
Get:3 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-updates InRelease [107 kB]
Get:4 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security InRelease [107 kB]
Reading package lists... Done                                                  
E: Failed to fetch http://repo.nordvpn.com/deb/nordvpn/debian/dists/stable/InRelease  Clearsigned file isn't valid, got 'NOSPLIT' (does the network require authentication?)
E: The repository 'http://repo.nordvpn.com/deb/nordvpn/debian stable InRelease' is not signed.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

after

sudo dpkg -i nordvpn-release_1.0.0_all.deb

seems it didn't add nord repo to sources.list so i add them manually to /sources.list.d/nordvpn.list

deb [arch=amd64] http://repo.nordvpn.com/deb/nordvpn/debian stable main
deb [arch=i386 ] http://repo.nordvpn.com/deb/nordvpn/debian stable main

and I tried to use different network wifi and provider but no light :(. thanks for any help. .

I found simple solution, you just need to remove nordvpn-release to get PUBKEY,if you run

sudo dpkg -i nordvpn-release_1.0.0_all.deb

remove it by

sudo apt remove nordvpn-release

then add

deb [arch=amd64] http://repo.nordvpn.com/deb/nordvpn/debian stable main

to your sources.list and run

sudo apt update

you will get NO_PUBKEY error

W:key is not` available: NO_PUBKEY 6B219E535C964CA1

you need key which is last 8 digit from PUBKEY 5C964CA1 then install it by

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 5C964CA1

and finally run

sudo apt update 
sudo apt install nordvpn

  • I know it's more than 3 years old. But someone like me might want to use Ubuntu 20.04 with Nordvpn so what I did was: echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://repo.nordvpn.com/deb/nordvpn/debian stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nordvpn.list

    sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 5C964CA1 sudo apt update sudo apt install nordvpn -y sudo usermod -aG nordvpn $USER
