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.
