NordVPN Network Manager GUI is a graphical frontend for both NordVPN and the system Network Manager. All connections are handled directly by the network manager and user secrets are only stored in memory before being passed to the Network Manager. Currently it operates 100% as a user process with no need for root privileges.
This project was inspired by NordVPN-NetworkManager by Chadsr. Many thanks for the code and knowledge that they published into the public domain.

Installation script should support Debian, Fedora, and Arch Linux. It will attempt to install the one dependency this program has (networkmanager-openvpn). It will also add a menu entry pointing to the current working directory of the installation script. So make sure you place the folder where you want the install to be located.
Installation script is only intended for the release version, not the python script itself.
Usage: sudo ./install.sh
