Need to use Nord on Mac 10.13.6 for reasons, is there a version (older?) that will run?

VPN

As title says
I have a few computers but one in particular cannot be updated right now, and I really need a VPN on it.

It’s a Mac running 10.13.6. Nord app says need minimum MacOS 11 to run.

Old VPN (shall remain nameless) just expired/did not renew and I want to move to Nord. On the old VPN I was able to use an older version of their app on Mac 10.13.6 and it was fine. It would tell me “please update” but fine anyway.

Is there an older version of a Nord VPN app I can get?
Officially?
I would rather not from an archive site or alternate download aggregator, because… that’s not safe.

Would Nord support help me here or tell me I’m out of luck?

You have a couple of options:

  1. You can download an older application version for your Mac using this article here.
  2. You can use alternative connection methods like OpenVPN or IKEv2 manual connections. The OpenVPN tutorial is here. The IKEv2 tutorial can be found here.

It looks like 7.13.0 is still working on macOS 10.13 as of Oct 2024.
(I have an old editing machine of that era, and that was last version I used this year, according to its time machine backup, as I too needed to keep it going on 10.13, but I recently cancelled / let that machines Nord sub expire earlier this year)

Thanks, older (official, from the .com site) I think will be the best try, and that was exactly what I was having trouble finding!
