+# NordVPN Management
+
+Manage the NordVPN connection on the Hermes host. Used when sites block the current IP (Cloudflare, bot detection) or when VPN status/settings need inspection.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- Sites return Cloudflare "Attention Required" or "Just a moment..." blocks
+- Need a fresh IP to bypass rate limiting or geo-restrictions
+- Inspecting or verifying VPN status and settings
+- User asks about VPN configuration
+
+## Commands
+
+### Status & Info
+
+```bash
+nordvpn status        # Connection status, server, IP, uptime
+nordvpn settings      # All configuration settings
+nordvpn account       # Account email, expiry, MFA status
+nordvpn groups        # Available server groups
+nordvpn countries     # Available countries
+```
+
+### Reconnect (Fresh IP)
+
+**Agent is authorized to reconnect without asking.** Any other settings changes require user permission.
+
+```bash
+nordvpn disconnect
+nordvpn connect us <city>   # Use different city to avoid same server
+```
+
+Alternative: `nordvpn connect` (no args = recommended server).
+
+### Settings (user permission required)
+
+```bash
+nordvpn set killswitch on|off
+nordvpn set technology nordlynx|openvpn
+nordvpn set lan-discovery on|off
+nordvpn set threatprotectionlite on|off
+nordvpn set post-quantum on|off
+nordvpn set dns <1.1.1.1> <8.8.8.8>
+nordvpn set autoconnect on|off
+nordvpn set notify on|off
+nordvpn set defaults         # Reset all to defaults
+```
+
+### Allowlist
+
+```bash
+nordvpn allowlist add port 11434     # Allow port through VPN
+nordvpn allowlist add subnet 10.0.0.0/24
+nordvpn allowlist remove port 11434
+```
+
+## Current Configuration (as of 2026-07-12)
+
+| Setting | Value |
+|---------|-------|
+| Technology | NORDLYNX |
+| Firewall | enabled |
+| Kill Switch | enabled |
+| Auto-connect | enabled |
+| Post-quantum | enabled |
+| LAN Discovery | enabled |
+| Threat Protection Lite | disabled |
+| Meshnet | disabled |
+| DNS | disabled |
+| Allowlisted ports | 53 (UDP/TCP), 11434 (TCP) |
+| Allowlisted subnets | 34.36.133.0/24 |
+
+Account: mdkrushr@gmail.com, active until Aug 30, 2026. No dedicated IP. MFA off.
+
+## Cloudflare Block Workaround
+
+When browser or web tools hit Cloudflare blocks on target sites:
+
+1. Check current IP: `nordvpn status`
+2. Disconnect: `nordvpn disconnect`
+3. Reconnect to different city: `nordvpn connect us Chicago` (or any city different from current)
+4. Verify new IP: `nordvpn status`
+5. Retry the blocked request
+
+## Pitfalls
+
+- **Don't change settings without user permission.** Reconnect only.
+- **Use different city on reconnect** — same city may return the same server.
+- **Allowlisted ports survive reconnect** — no need to re-add after IP change.
+- **Kill switch blocks all traffic when disconnected** — brief outage during reconnect is normal.
+- **Post-quantum only works with standard NordLynx servers** — not with dedicated IP, OpenVPN, or obfuscated servers.
