Intro #
Before every (good) project, there is a problem which requires a solution. In this case the problem is that nordVPN has no gui client for linux. There is only a cli application which can be a bit complicated to handle and if you use a VPN on a daily basis it gets very unhandy. So the only solution was to build a small tool for that. So time after time more and more features were supported and even some which the cli application does not include.
The official CLI #
The NordVPN application for linux only supports a cli version.
A connection can be established by choosing a country and a city.
$ nordvpn c Austria Vienna
Which countries and cities are available? Well this is not easily displayed.
$ nordvpn cities [country]
My GUI #
To be clear NorseVPN is only a wrapper. So it does not communicate with the NordVPN servers.
