How to get NordVPN working and starting on boot?
I am new to linux and i tried getting nordvpn installed following the guide on their website but it doesn't work. I have no idea how i can install it and have it start on boot with kill switch on. Anyone know how to set this one up that can help?
Thank you so much

if you attempted to do a search, this is the same for all VPNs

usually its just download the rpm and install using
rpm-ostree install path_to_file.rpmi must not have been searching right as i didnt find it, i will try this one as soon as i get back and i will let you know. Thank you so much:)
np!
ok so, nothing worked with the rpm file. i used pre installed openvpn and supplied the ovpn file with the credential, then had to restart NetworkManager. After that i went into the GUI on the wifi and set it to connect to vpn and it assumed the one i created using nmcli command but didnt connect. so i added the credentials again on the Gui and reset the NetworkManager and somehow this time it worked
strangely enough, the rpm file didn't work for me at first, it seemed to just add repo and some system files. So the setup is
rpm-ostree install nordvpn.rpm; reboot -> rpm-ostree install nordvpnthey provide rpm file? last time i checked they only provide install script and i had to extract the repo from there

my.nordaccount.com/downloads/nordvpn/ scroll down to where it says Linux (Deb Package) (Download). Next to that is a 3 dot menu where you can select a the rpm package to download
ah so they locked it behind account, dont have my nord account anymore
