How do you SSH into a Linux server that is connected to NordVPN?

Here’s my current setup:

Linux machine running Ubuntu Server hosting a bunch of apps through
Docker Compose. The apps are made available externally using
Cloudflare Tunnels as a reverse proxy, and the cloudflared service is
running alongside all other Docker Compose apps as well.


When I want to make changes to my server configuration, I usually SSH
locally into the server using its private internal IP. How can I
connect the server to NordVPN using the command line while still
allowing me to SSH into the server with its local IP? Also, will
connecting to NordVPN break Cloudflare Tunnels?

Whitelist your local network using the CLI as such -

    nordvpn whitelist add subnet 192.168.0.0/16

Replace the IP with your subnet.

Cloudflare tunnels will proxy your connection so I don't think you can
do both tunnels and NordVPN together.

Thanks, this worked! I whitelisted my subnet and Cloudflare Tunnels
still works, I guess it’s because the cloudflared service is running
within my subnet as well.
