NordVPN open-sources its Linux app's GUI and simplifies installation

NordVPN on mobile.

NordVPN, the best VPN on the market based on our testing, is opening up its Linux app to the community. The cybersecurity company has made the graphical interface (GUI) of its Linux client fully open-source and integrated it into the Snap package, giving users a faster, more transparent way to install and update the VPN.

The move follows the launch of NordVPN's Linux GUI earlier this year, which helped boost daily active users on Linux devices by more than 70 percent in just 100 days and put it on our list of the best Linux VPNs. By publishing the GUI's source code on GitHub, NordVPN says it's extending the same openness that defines the Linux ecosystem itself.
