After resolving an issue with the default.ovpn symlink, it was bugging me that each time the container ran it would download all of the NordVPN configs. After a bit of research I found a url where I could download just one ovpn file. A bit of rework and now only downloads the applicable config based off of NordVPNs api. No more 4000+ configs.
User can configure this using either NORDVPN_COUNTRY to connect to the best server in that country or a specific config using the OPENVPN_CONFIG parameter. If neither are specified config will be selected based off of NordVPN api and if both are specified it will connect to OPENVPN_CONFIG server first using the api to decide on a backup 'default.ovpn' config in case it fails.
In my rewriting of this I also realised there was no need for the updateConfigs.sh script anymore, but to keep everything in keeping I replaced the contents of the updateConfigs.sh script with the NordVPN_selector one and removed the latter.
