Nordling

A system tray icon for GNU/Linux that helps simply control NordVPN client. Written in Python3 and PyQt5, tested in Kubuntu 18.10.

My first, ever, FOSS project, so I'm learning the ropes.

Install & Run

Dependencies

The script requires:

  • Python 3.6.6 + PyQt5 5.6.0
  • Official NordVPN release

Installation

Just run sh install.sh. The script is currently designed to just be run by user, without any special privileges. Hence, it installs to a user directory.

Running

In GNOME and KDE, the "Nordling VPN Tray" should appear in the launcher automatically. If not, one can launch it by running the launch_nordling.sh script.

There are monochrome (dark theme) icons implemented. Currently hardcoded, they soon will be selectable as an argument on launch.
