Uninstalling Nordvpn

Uninstalling Nordvpn

When I run

sudo apt-get remove nordvpn 

and when I try

whereis nordvpn 

or

find -name "*nord*"

nothing shows up These commands are indicating that I don't have nord installed on my system, However every time I run

sudo apt-get update 

It will try to connect to nordvpn

[Connecting to repo.nordvpn.com (10.10.34.35)]

which is really annoying, any ideas?

You haven't said anything about your version/flavour of Ubuntu so making some assumptions:

Run software-properties-gtk, click Other Software tab, find any Nord VPN references and un-check or remove them, then press Close button.

You can use "purge"

sudo apt purge nordvpn*

also don't forget to remove from dpkg

sudo dpkg -P nordvpn
sudo dpkg -P nordvpn-release

lastly, if you did add your user to nordvpn group using "usermod", you can remove that too.
