I have had DNSSEC verification enabled for a couple of months in systemd-resolved. Not that I am particular paranoid or do any nuclear-sensitive stuff on my machine. Don't even own any Bitcoin. But mostly out of technical curiosity. Until yesterday I had only noticed 2 broken sites (or sites affected by buggy systemd-resolved implementation as some voices claim). Some Jira Plugin and Swedish Railways SJ. Yesterday basically the Internet stopped working for me. After a while I remembered good old operator wisdom "It's always DNS". And it was DNS. Systemd-resolved logged "missing-key" for basically every query I tried. So I switched from DoT 1.1.1.1 @Cloudflare to DoT 8.8.8.8 @Google and life continued. Until today that suddenly out of nowhere showed the same symptom. Turning off DNSSEC verification avoids the problem. An internet search br

Why don't you try installing Nord in a VM and monitoring traffic yourself, instead of taking low-quality blogspam Medium articles at face value? If they're truly hijacking end user clients, why don't you point to the section of their open source client that's responsible for that? https://github.com/NordSecurity/nordvpn-linux Easy enough to prove.

It's not "well-known"- because your links don't say what you're claiming they do, and this is a conspiracy theory that's been shut down on here a thousand times before. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22532682 NordVPN used residential proxies at one point to enable access to Disney+ and other streaming services; that's a world apart from hijacking end-user connections. They've got an open source client. Where's the code that's turning end users into endpoints? https://github.com/NordSecurity/nordvpn-linux

I was misled by the title of this submission. The Linux NordVPN client is now open source (https://github.com/NordSecurity/nordvpn-linux), but the Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows NordVPN clients are still closed source.

Hi Vykintas, thank you for answering. I'm the GP. First of all, I want to reiterate that I purposefully used the word "allegedly" because I have no proof. I only have a smoking gun https://archive.is/bQo0O . Second of all, I want to explain that it is very difficult to verify any of your points. > you can easily [...] look through the code. As you can see majority of it is open source. Yes. This is correct, but at the time of writing this comment, the source has been made available only 9 hour ago. https://github.com/NordSecurity/nordvpn-linux The whole thing is one giant "Initial commit" of what looks like millions of lines of code. Auditing this code will take months for single motivated person. There is little to no comments. "Just read the code" is difficult in this context. Also routing traffic through the client can be done just wit
