Nord Security has released the source code of its Linux NordVPN client and associated networking libraries in the hopes of being more transparent and easing users' security and privacy concerns.
As part of this announcement, NordVPN released the source code for its Linux applications and two libraries - Libtelio and Libdrop.
All three projects are now on Nord Security's GitHub page, with full instructions on compiling the NordVPN Linux and libraries.
"Open sourcing Libtelio is a particularly important step because this code forms the backbone of all our NordVPN applications, not just our Linux client," explains Nord.
Finally, the complete source code for the NordVPN Linux application can be downloaded and compiled, with the company encouraging users to modify it to fit their own needs.
Security vulnerabilities in the Linux client can be reported to Nord Security's HackerOne bug bounty program, with bugs rated as critical receiving bounties ranging from $10,000 to $50,000.
