I’m very new to arch and the linux environment in general, I’ve been trying for half a day to figure out how to get this service unmasked and enabled!
Nordvpn seems to link to /dev/null after yay installation. I have dependencies, but to be honest even after trying to find this issue on the arch wiki I don’t understand the service link.
Please help me understand what I am supposed to do here.
[ben@bens-desktop-EOS ~]$ systemctl status nordvpn.service

[ben@bens-desktop-EOS ~]$ systemctl unmask nordvpn.service
