it's nice we have Mullvad, ProtonVPN and PIA VPN's with GUI's, when I last looked Surfshark and NordVPN were still CLI only

Proton also lets you use OpenVPN and WireGuard as clients, which is nice. I have tunnels set up from my home firewall to a dozen or so Proton VPN nodes using WG so I can router things as I see fit without the client device being aware.

How'd you do this? Hardware/software? I have openwrt but do I need a separate smart switch? I've spent too long trying to do it...

Happy Mullvad user here. In an ideal world we'd have both - GUI is great for my phone, laptop and desktop, but my home server needs CLI.

And Mullvad lets you have five 'things' on each account, which since their naming convention is a bit crazy, allows me to recreate the connection for one thing before I have to go through them all and note down which is which.

If on Linux why not just use built in wire guard with VPN of choice?

NordVPN recently added a GUI.

actually nordvpn released their linux GUI earlier this year, and i think surfshark is still working on theres but promised it's coming soon.

When I left proton my main issue was the lack of CLI, for the drive and for the VPN.
