I don't think I will sign up for it but with a quick look, Wireguard
should be possible to configure even in NetworkManager. Although not
with NetworkManager 1.14 in Debian Buster. But there are wireguard
packages for Buster.
However, if whatever parameters wireguard happens to need can be pried
from Mozilla then there should be no need to bother with their client?
Which is at least open source and available from
https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/mozilla-vpn-client
And in fact, Mullvad, which is the actual VPN provider for Mozilla,
makes a Wireguard config available on their web page. At least if you
have an account with them. No idea if that works if you bought from
Mozilla and not Mullvad.

REPLY:Anssi,(Sorry yahoo won't format the reply inline with ">)My Debian stable
does have network-manager 1.14. And I don't know that I'd be able to pry the
the parameters needed.Also, you are right about Mullvad, and I see that if I
get the service from Mullvad, instead of from Mozilla (for a slightly higher
price), they do provide an installation file for Debian:wget
--content-disposition https://mullvad.net/download/app/deb/latest
sudo apt-get -y install gdebi-core && sudo gdebi MullvadVPN-XXXX.X_amd64.deband
it seems to be GPL licensed:
https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app/blob/master/LICENSE.md
I think this is the easiest way to for me to go.
And since you mentioned that you wouldn't sign up for it, do you have another
VPN provider/service that you would recommend that works in Debian Buster
(stable) with just free software?Thanks!Luben
