Hi - all just starting to get this error in the last day or so, it might coincide with the latest update. The error log is below,

I don't know what happened but I can say what is happening:

2024/07/20 23:14:04 | stdout | �[41mERROR:�[0m server compliant with your settings not found, review them
2024/07/20 23:14:04 | stdout | Best server :
2024/07/20 23:14:04 | stdout | WARNING: OVPN: unable to find a server with the specified parameters, please review your parameters, NORDVPN_COUNTRY=Canada, NORDVPN_CATEGORY=legacy_p2p, NORDVPN_PROTOCOL=tcp
=> according to your settings, the api could not suggest a server, or the api did not answer at all to your requests.
2024/07/20 23:14:04 | stdout | parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 1, column 20 => api is not responding anymore, too many requests were performed due to the container being restarted continuously

What to do:

stop the container, wait for a while (5-10 minutes). Nordvpn has a throttle policy to protect its api performance. test once, if connection is still failing, then wait for another 15 minutes.
set DEBUG to true, to view all commands

set TRANSMISSION_RPC_USERNAME to '' should fix the problem, maybe also TRANSMISSION_RPC_PASSWORD

THANK YOU - just to be clear, this means going to settings adding two line items like the ones you entered above, and keeping them blank ‘’?

edgd1er Jul 21, 2024

yes, that's what I would do in command line, in your interface I don't know.
if you have portainer or can enter into the running container, you could check env vars.
