NORDVPN VPN Director Status Check

[tom76017]

I'm running NORDVPN Client on my RT-BE86U. I've activated the service via VPN Director on some of my Debian servers. Is there a way to confirm that the vpn is working? Running traceroute for Google.com gives me an "non" result for an active vpn. Running traceroute on a WAN connected server gives me a real result.

This appears to be a way to validate that the vpn is active on the selected device. Is there a better way?

What is your IP, what is your DNS, check your torrent IP, what informations you send to websites.

On Windows, I can browse https://nordvpn.com/ to see my VPN status. On Debian I don't have a GUI. Just command line access via ssh. I'm looking for a command line solution.

curl checkip.amazonaws.com

P.S. What is "non" result compared to a real result?

I'm using this in my router ddns script, similar as @ColinTaylor suggestion:

curl -fs4 icanhazip.com

If you want some more information you could try

curl https://ifconfig.co/json
