NordVPN's Meshnet 'not going anywhere' after all - thanks to customer revolt

NordVPN, a popular virtual private network (VPN) provider, has decided to open-source its Meshnet feature after facing backlash from its customers. The Meshnet feature, which allowed users to create a decentralized network, was initially planned to be discontinued by the company. However, in response to the customer revolt, NordVPN has opted to open-source the service, allowing users to continue using and developing it. The move is seen as a rare example of a tech company listening to its user base and making a decision that aligns with their preferences. The open-sourcing of the Meshnet feature means that users will have more control and transparency over the development of the service, as the code will be publicly available for review and contribution. This decision is likely to be welcomed by NordVPN's customers, who value the privacy and security benefits that the Meshnet feature provides. Overall, this incident highlights the importance of tech companies being responsive to their users' needs and concerns, and the potential for customer feedback to shape the direction of a product or service.
