This scene makes so much more sense now!

Yes I have been wondering this too.
I know I should probably just set it and forget it but I routinely change geographic locations based on what I am doing and disable entirely when I need the speed.
This is undoubtedly going to cause interruptions which I am not clear on.
Does 5 odd second network breaks affect the node?

I doubt it’s the 5sec switching and perhaps more the IP would change; so, node is relocated?
Would be ideal if VPN can be bypassed… and perhaps that is that the SAFE has it’s own DNS lookup … and maybe this is simply not an issue… though my naive perception is that VPN lock down the network manger for all purposes, perhaps it’s not as simple as that.

The one I use (for FireFox) cause logout on some sites after several minutes.
I use Nord VPN and it now has a feature to make it application specific so you can make the safe software not use the VPN
Mind you I get 60-90mbits/sec through the VPN on a 100-120 mbits/sec link (down) and not had pushed the available 40mbits/sec up yet.

I use it too via command line on linux. I am new to Nord though. How did you accomplish this?
Quick google shows an app for windows?

Yes.. me too using Nord.. though on Linux and not overly impressed with the UI.. so, would be interested to understand more of what is possible. The network manager I rely on because that works, more often than the browser that forgets it is logged in. I’ve not looked for a Thunderbird plugin so default is the network manager for that and any other I would expect to be using it but not sure - so, does wget work etc I don’t know.. so, I’m of a mind it’s not ideal but better than nothing and would prefer to have more assurance. /ramble
I tried and failed to be sure that was working.. so, import the setting to Network Manager - the difference I think was that Google showed that it could see location; which is then perhaps the DNS setting which is a bit obscure to know that is required too.
tldr; Nord could do better on Linux.

I’ll delve deeper.
I have had no problems with accessing geo blocked sites since using it. (The reason I switched from PIA recently)
Could be worse though…

The DNS assurance comes from changing what is in /etc/resolv.conf to as below
sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf
=>
nameserver 103.86.96.100
nameserver 103.86.99.100
