NordLayer is currently compatible with these operating systems:
- Windows 10 and 11
- macOS 14 (Sonoma) and up
- Android 13 and up
- iOS 16.0 and up
- Linux (Debian and RHEL based systems) - on physical client machines running Debian 12, Debian 13, Fedora 43, Fedora 44, Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu 24.04, Ubuntu 26.04, and openSUSE Tumbleweed.
Note: Starting from version 3.9.0, NordLayer supports Windows on ARM-architecture-based devices. NordLayer applications are not officially supported on Windows Server and Linux Server operating systems. On other (non-Windows) ARM-architecture-based devices, only the NordLynx protocol will be available.
In order to ensure the highest level of security and stability of our application, we are seeking to minimize the risk of vulnerabilities and security breaches by running on the most secure and officially supported systems. That’s why we will be no longer supporting versions that have been identified as outdated by the operating system vendors themselves.
