I wanted to install the CLI version of ExpressVPN on Debian
Bookworm, but that was impossible because I do not have Network
Manager installed. Over the years I'm always avoided Network
Manager and have gotton along fine without it.

Are there any reasons why Network Manager should be avoided?

Or how can I install the VPN without it? Could I install the
manager, then the VPN and then uninstall the manager without
breaking tje VPN


Any recommendation of a VPN that can install on Debian without
the Network Manager?
