NORDVPN API
The update script is based on the NordVpn API. The API sends back the best recommended config file based on the filters given.
Available ENV variables in the container to define via the NORDNVPN API the file to use are:
- NORDVPN_COUNTRY: (values code: https://api.nordvpn.com/v1/servers/countries)
- NORDVPN_CATEGORY: (values identifier: https://api.nordvpn.com/v1/servers/groups)
- NORDVPN_PROTOCOL: tcp or udp (values identifier more available at https://api.nordvpn.com/v1/technologies, may need script adaptation)
the file is then download using the API to find the best server according to the variables, here an albanian, using tcp:
- selecting server (limit answer to 1): [ANSWER]= https://api.nordvpn.com/v1/servers/recommendations?filters[country_id]=2&filters[servers_technologies][identifier]=openvpn_tcp&filters[servers_group][identifier]=legacy_group_category&limit=1
- download selected server's config: https://downloads.nordcdn.com/configs/files/ovpn_[NORDVPN_PROTOCOL]/servers/[ANSWER.0.HOSTNAME][] => https://downloads.nordcdn.com/configs/files/ovpn_tcp/servers/al9.nordvpn.com.tcp.ovpn
A possible evolution would be to check server's load to select the most available one.
- limit numbers of returned server to 10
- use https://api.nordvpn.com/server/stats to collect cpu's load
- select the more available server.
