From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
Rules
- Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
- No misinformation
- No NSFW content
- No hate speech, bigotry, etc

I was in the same boat. I just want the VPN for my torrent client, without it impacting any other running applications/services. Try https://github.com/jamesmcm/vopono, which uses network namespaces and has killswitch functionality.
As for Nix, I have no idea.
Wow, that's crazy. Could really get creative with your config using that!
That's actually perfect, thank you so much! I've been wanting to switch from nordvpn because it's ass but i got 3 years for basically free, gonna switch to mull with this as soon as that runs out, awesome!
