Connect using IP of NordVPN Server

[Jimmy-SafeCash]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. No

Describe the solution you'd like My NordVPN container is behind a Sophos XG firewall. I block all traffic from the container except to a specific NordVPN server IP. I want to be able to specify the server IP instead of region, country etc. I'm currently unable to restrict in the fashion I'd like to as there are a number of random URLs that are queried during connection. My existing OpenVPN solution works using a single whitelisted IP.

Describe alternatives you've considered There is no solution as the URLs used during connection appear random.

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

this request needs to be sent to nordvpn, i have no control over the nordvpn binary, since it doesn't support this feature i can add it to the container.
