      They did state it was easy, not safe. Unsafe is always easier. (Until it isn’t—I’d get back “-bash: sudo: command not found” if I just followed those directions without understanding.)

      sudo curl

      I’d use curl to download with user permissions and then sudo mv to the desired place.

      sudo random binary

      The official binary of your vpn provider isn’t exactly “random”. They probably also provide means to check whether the downloaded binary is authentic. Yet, they don’t elaborate on that here.

        To me, any binary I do not have the source code for is random. I have no idea what’s in it and it could be doing any number of malicious things.

          Yes, but as it’s the official binary of your VPN provider, you’re going to need to trust them anyways when using their servers.
