@freemo You're quite right. The
Linux CLI client offers very little advantage (if any) over simply configuring OpenVPN.

The EU is in need of serious reforms (I use the plural deliberately) but I think the four freedoms associated with the Treaty of Rome remain relevant. Yanis Varoufakis's critique of the EU is well-known and I think fair!

However, I cannot agree that the EU has been particularly obstructive when it comes to Brexit. Not only has the UK government exhibited extreme amateurism in its negotiations, but in recent months has shown itself to be positively misleading and truculent.

The UK should have never triggered Article 50 before parliament had a clear of what kind Brexit the public wanted. (There might have been a chance of leaving the EU in some 'forked variant' of the Norway model). But this isn't the main point which is simply that the EU Referendum in the UK in 2016 was essentially a flawed and fraudulent exercise and that the current UK Government under Johnson has zero democratic legitimacy

The news that there is "big and growing movement" (How big? Rate of growth? Etc...) in the Netherlands that is in favour of Netherexit (Dutch Brexit - isn't language funny) is disturbing. People need to drill down to the facts and wise up extremely fast. But, then again, right-wing extremists (and their mirror equivalent on the left) have always had a serpentine , smoke-and-mirrors relationship with facts!

I too use NordVPN and have found it to be reliable and good value for money. My only wish is that the Linux client was as polished as the Windows version.
