    Seriously, why?! Go has UI libraries (plus Qt/GTK bindings) and you don’t need something that complicated for a VPN client.

    Does the frontend need to be active all the time? Then you effectively have Chrome always running while doing literally nothing most of the time, can’t imagine you have to fiddle with the VPN that often.

      I actually haven’t tried closing the client after starting up the VPN connection. I’ll try that and report back.

        Make sure the VPN doesn’t silently disconnect by keeping an eye on what your public IP reports as.

      I mean, I’m also having to run an Electron application for a shoddy chat and video call program. Most of the day, it will just sit there, doing nothing, and eat resources like no one’s business.
      My company bought into it and basically gave it a monopoly. So, if it uses too many resources, the laptop will need to be upgraded.
