(in the meantime, Nix's version of the mullvadvpn-app works well on Void.)

Thanks for this. Looks like it's time for me to figure out Nix packages.

It's pretty easy. Basically follow the instructions at https://nixos.org/nix/manual/#ch-installing-binary and then nix-env -i mullvad-vpn.

(Though the installer expects systemd; but it's easy enough to add ~user/.nix-profile/bin/nix-daemon & to your /etc/rc.local or whatever to start the Nix daemon; or create a runit script.)

@esmoak FYI: I've written a WireGuard-specific interface to Mullvad which is a bit simpler (and much faster): https://gitlab.com/emacsomancer/volemad
