    It’s better than closed source, for sure. But I’m curious, Is the NordVPN app actually conceivably useful for anything other than the NordVPN service? Or is this simply the uni-directional kind of open-source where their software gives nothing useful back to the community and they are just hoping for the part where the community identifies and fixes their bugs for them.

    I suppose we’ll have to wait and see if someone will be able to hack it to add other providers, it would be neat if I could use it to manage my own self-hosted VPN endpoints too.

      Probably the latter. It made things easy when I first started using nord but I quickly removed it and imported wireguard configs into network manager. If they add split tunneling, I’ll start using it again.
