  "account": "NordVPN has finally enabled users to download WireGuard configuration files directly from their account, potentially boosting router speeds up to five times. Previously, manual setups required unofficial scripts and workarounds. A Reddit user noticed the change in the Nord Account's Manual configuration section. While NordVPN hasn't officially announced the feature, the process is now described in their support documentation. To download a WireGuard .conf file, users must log in to Nord Account, select NordVPN, go to Advanced Settings, choose Set up NordVPN manually, and then select WireGuard from the dropdown. NordVPN advises choosing \"Verified\" servers and provides guides for setting up the file in wireGuard apps on Windows and Linux. This update is especially significant for router users, as NordVPN's NordLynx protocol, which is WireGuard-based, has been slower than OpenVPN on some routers. With this new feature, enthusiasts can now easily connect NordVPN to their routers without the need for complex guides.",
  "summary": "NordVPN appears to have quietly added official WireGuard configuration file downloads, removing the need for unofficial scripts, and opening the door to much faster router VPN setups.",
