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.
