I have several questions. I thought it better to combine them all in one threat instead of cluttering the place up with a multitude of different threads.
Question Group 1 - Nord VPN
So I've been using Nord VPN for my private browsing needs. It's super fast for a VPN (it used to be SO slow), and it has TOR servers which I think is nice, but it keeps disconnecting in Windows. Sometimes I don't notice that it has disconnected before I do my private browsing. I know I can turn on the kill switch, but I'd like it a lot better if there was a way to just keep it connected. Anyone have any ideas? Is there something in the settings I need to modify?
Also, can anyone tell me if Nord works well in Linux? Does it have a GUI/app? Or is it all command line shit? I'm making what I call "privacy drives" for several people. They are jump drives with a Linux OS installed (full install) that come pre-loaded with a VPN, TOR etc. They can just pop them into any machine that has a USB 3.0 port or better and go. I can handle a command line interface well enough, but some of the people I'm making these privacy drives for cannot. Does anyone have a VPN that they recommend for Linux that has an app/GUI? I know PIA has one, but last time I used them they were pretty slow.
Question Group 2 - Linux
I'm looking for a simple light weight Linux distro to build these privacy drives with. I don't really need the distro to come with TOR or a Whonix VM installed. I can put whatever crap on there that I want, to take care of that angle. What I really want is something light weight, and user friendly. Something for people with little to no Linux experience. I used LinuxLite in the past, but with so so many distros out there I'm thinking there has to be something even better.
What's a good PGP client/app for Linux? I can't seem to find an easy way to use PGP in Linux. I really want to find something as user friendly as gpg4win, that any noob can use with minimal instruction. I swear, Linux enthusiasts say everyone should switch to Linux, but then they go and make shitty apps that can only be accessed via the command line. Annoys the hell out of me.
Can anyone recommend a good crypto wallet that runs on Linux?
Is there an OS that's more user friendly than Linux to install on these privacy drives instead?
I had more questions, but I can't remember them now. I'll add to the list later.
Thanks,
TC
