Be aware, at least Nord clearly does something different with their client than with the OpenVPN files they provide ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21664692 ). When I dug into this, I found similar cases with other major VPN providers, but my notes are sufficiently out of date, they shouldn't be trusted anymore.
Sometimes the differences are subtle, sometimes they're rather complex like this case. Personally, sketchy stuff like this is why I've moved all of my VPN use to a personal cloud instance running WireGuard.
