|

## Nix (recommended)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For folks who have [nix][nix] installed they can use this.
|
||||||
|
Details on how to use it can be found on the [github].
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you have NixOS installed you can use the following module.
|
||||||
|
It makes use of ``Home Manager`` to create the config file in ``$USERNAME``'s home dir.
|
||||||
|
Using ``vpn up`` and ``vpn down`` to control the vpn.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```nix
|
||||||
|
/*
|
||||||
|
Config for UL VPN.
|
||||||
|
Opens a small browser to grab the cookie
|
||||||
|
Use ``vpn up ul`` and ``vpn down ul``
|
||||||
