Why not ask them? They got an easy-to-access service chat. Not sure if they know there but at least an email would probably give an answer. I'm sure there are others like me who would like to easily install it from the local package manager. Or did ask and they didn't like the idea?

@kernle32dll Can you say what specifically was the tinkering that made the app work for you on Void Linux?

And, also, did you ask the nordvpn guys about the licencing concerns?

Also even if NordVPN wouldn't like it, you could always just add a restricted flag and it should be quite okay since it doesn't actually create the package in the repo.

A restricted flag in the package template you mean?

Not sure what you mean by your second question, but 'restricted' means it won't be available in the repos, but only via `xbps-src`.

Wouldn't you have to add each VPN server config to these programs for NordVPN to work?  That would be time-consuming and a pain to manage.

This makes using the actual NordVPN a better option IMO as it does all of this automatically..

I agree with this. nord, like most vpn services, provides openvpn and wireguard configs that should work with the existing openvpn and wireguard packages on void, without the risk of incompatibilities.

I see this was attempted a couple of years ago, but so much has changed since then.  NordVPN is easy to install on Debian, Ubuntu, and Fedora now.

Comment:
Got it all running after some tinkering. The daemon `nordvpnd` runs fine as a simple runit service without any frills. 

However, something that worries me is that the nordvpn deb file re-distributes its own (I presume) statically built `openvpn`. For testing purposes I linked `/usr/bin/openvpn` to `/var/lib/nordvpn/openvpn`, and it seems to run fine. However, I was unable to find any licensing information that would give me clues about whether or not it would be OK to re-distribute nordvpn this way (without its own openvpn build).
