Introducing **JNordVPN Manager** - a user-friendly, open-source graphical interface for managing NordVPN connections on Linux. This application simplifies VPN administration with features like a server/city tree-list with filter functionality, connection management (login, logout, connect, disconnect, pause), and a world map showing all servers and the active one. Recent connections are also stored for easy re-connection by a single click. JNordVPN Manager is an open-source graphical user interface (GUI) application designed to make managing NordVPN connections on Linux easier and more intuitive than using the native nordvpn commands. Built with Java, this GUI provides a comprehensive set of features that cater to the needs of NordVPN users on the Linux platform. _Key Features:_ * **Server Search:** Easily find and connect to VPN servers from all around the world using filters by country and city. * **Connection Management:** Control your NordVPN connections with ease - (re)connect, disconnect, pause, or resume your sessions with a single click. * **Recent Connections:** The application stores your recent connections for easy reconnection. Simply select one to reconnect instantly. * **World Map View:** Visualize all available VPN servers on a world map and focus on the active server, providing an intuitive way to navigate through NordVPN's vast network. * **Security:** The application does not store any login information (Account, Password). It is just an interface for the native nordvpn commands. **Important:** Because snaps restricts the execution of commands outside of their own sandbox, the installed JNordVPN Manager icon will run the application in "Installation" mode: The created Desktop Icon has the extension '(install)'. Run in 'Install mode', the application creates a new desktop file in the local desktop folder (https://github.com/com-mr-apps/JNordVPNManager/blob/main/snap/local/JNordVpnManager_Java.desktop) with that the JNordVPN Manager will be called outside of the sandbox. Alternatively the command: `/snap/j-nordvpn-manager/current/bin/java /snap/j-nordvpn-manager/current/JNordVpnManager-current.jar` can be executed. _References_ **NordVPN backend** * https://snapcraft.io/nordvpn * https://support.nordvpn.com/hc/en-us/articles/20196094470929-Installing-NordVPN-on-Linux-distributions **GeoTools** The world map is based on GeoTools, an open source (LGPL) Java code library that provides tools for geospatial data: * https://geotools.org/about.html * https://github.com/geotools/geotools **World map data** Thanks to Natural Earth.
