I’ve been testing VPN services and somehow every one with a client has written their own. Proton, Windscribe, IVPN, Mullvad, AirVPN, NordVPN, and the list goes on.
Don’t these services all do the same thing? Connect to a server to get a list of servers, then use WireGuard or OpenVPN to make a connection, and have some fancy stuff like split tunneling or a killswitch. It should just take configuration by adding profiles per service and it should be possible to use the same client.
What am I missing?
Wouldn’t less variety of clients be less safe. Having one client means a security bottle neck becomes vulnerable because more is ‘known’/certain to attackers.
Besides all text editors are doing the same thing, so why not just have one text editor?
Ultimately if you follow this line of thinking - then why not have a universal code library that just forms programs as the user needs them.
Okay, so you want Star Trek style Holodeck?
