Unable to connect to meshnet. I changed technologies to OPENVPN TCP/UDP and NORDLYNX to no avail.

Here are some relevant logs from running journalctl -u nordvpnd -b

Not sure why the TLS is timing out. I'm able to ping api.nordvpn.com. I'm working on NixOS which isn't supported but I'd still like super awesome meshnet feature to work :)

Here are some possibly useful additional information
