Connecting to a VPN
by upnort from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5BYDC)
What is the Slackware big picture to configure a VPN client without using NetworkManager (NM)? Use some custom rc.d scripts?
The primary system is a static desktop Ethernet connection. No wireless and thus I never used NM on the system. I see slackbuilds for nordvpn, protonvpn, etc. Would that approach suffice to avoid using NM?
I am new to using a VPN. Appreciated are Slackware compatible VPN provider suggestions. Free cost is a nice option while I learn.
Thanks. :)
