You are in luck! Just today, I setup Trisquel 8 with my VPN, NordVPN. The installation for GNU/Linux doesn't use a proprietary app so I believe its using all Libre tools. Have a look at how it's done: https://nordvpn.com/tutorials/linux/openvpn/

Good to hear. But whatever the problem is with both Uruk 2 and Trisquel 8 betas, it needs to be fixed before the final releases. Uruk and Trisquel are both supposed to be noob-friendly distros, and official release that can't be installed without command line wizardry is just embarrassing ;)
