Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.

Common questions

How often are the Docker image tags updated?

The edge tag is updated weekly. The latest tag and date-stamped tags are updated or created monthly.

What should I do if the VPN works remotely but not when returning home?

You may need NAT reflection or split horizon DNS. Some firewalls do not route WAN-forwarded ports back to the LAN correctly, so return packets can be lost.

Have users reported P2P speed problems with Dockerized NordLynx?

Yes, one user reports extremely slow P2P download speeds when running Dockerized NordVPN with qBittorrent through NordLynx.
