Your business has programmers, right? Make a Linux GUI version...

[LazySnake]

Sire, there's an increasing demand for NordVPN Linux GUI!

[akeylawhite]

Make us a GUI app for Linux like you have for Windows.

[YerushalayimShelZahv]

using openvpn in the mean time, but you guys really should make the effort to make a linux GUI. I don't mind having a cli since I do a lot of my work in terminal anyway, but a gui does make life easier.

[miguelalonso]

Any plans on releasing a Linux GUI like other VPNs have?

[BxrHavik]

I like how it says how to "use" the linux app but doesnt show anything about how to use it, only install it lol.
Though you can just teach yourself how to use the app by typing "nordvpn --help" into the terminal and make your way from there.

[ViralTuber]

next make a video about how to open the terminal

I was just about to purchase the 2 year subscription to NordVPN. Thankfully I watched this first because now I want nothing to do with it. I can never get anything to work in terminal. Too complicated for me.

"NordVPN - the world's most advanced VPN" but no GUI!
May I know the reason for that?

[Maksimbakov]

Please, create version of this app for rpm-based distro's (Fedora, RHEL). Thank you!

[frozeneternity]

How do I autostart this? I only see info online on how to autostart with openvpn

[riekehd]

Everytime I try "nordvpn login" I get this message: "It seems there's an issue. Please check your internet connection and try again." But everything is fine with the connection. What can I do?

[viktor]

you left out the part on how to install the GUI for linux

I found out that "nordvpn connect" connects to a server, but even a ping results in "Operation not allowed". I have to run nordvpn app as root. Then it works like expected.

After you add a VPN connection through the network manager, you can go back to your connection and have it connect to the VPN by default ; )

[HDbacon]

I am not able to get the program installed at all.. First it was saying its not from a trusted source so its disabled by default. I fixed that up, but now I am presented with
