Hi and welcome,

I suspect 'lib64idn2_0' (or 'libidn2_0' for i586) provides the required library.

The software does, or at least did, run okay. Installation...was less fun when I tested it a couple of years ago.

FWIW, there's no Mageia 9 yet, you seem to be running cauldron.

You should be able to install nordvpn via

Code: Select all

urpmi --allow-nodeps https://repo.nordvpn.com/yum/nordvpn/centos/x86_64/Packages/n/nordvpn-3.15.3-1.x86_64.rpm

dnf doesn't have an option to continue without installing some required packages, but you still need to make sure to install the required libraries/packages.
