nordvpn-tui

nordvpn-tui is a terminal-based user interface (TUI) tool built in Rust that provides a simple and interactive way to manage NordVPN connections. The tool allows users to browse, search, and select countries and cities for VPN connection directly from the terminal using keyboard navigation.
