Chris, I recently got Nordvpn running on my 4.0.1 and I used their .deb package
to install their app.
The one thing I like about their app is that when it fires up it scans the
hundreds of servers they have to identify the server that is best to connect
to. The process that Qubes-vpn-support uses relies on the user manually
deciding which of the hundreds plus servers to use right, and then creating a
ln to that ovpn file?
Do you think there could be a way to streamline or automate which ovpn file to
use?
Thanks!
Its impossible to tell which servers for a given region a VPN provider
considers to be 'best'. Some providers like PIA allow you to specify a
region by domain name, and that domain name represents a bank of servers
from which a server is chosen at connection time; it appears to be a
standard load-balancing configuration.
If you don't want to use one server IP all the time, you could add many
IPs to the conf file along with 'remote-random' which will choose one
randomly. Alternately, you could see if NordVPN has regional domain
names and use one of those in your conf.
