Module fails on EU grounds due to GDPR acceptance #102

After accepting the license the module expects a GDPR acceptance as well, using the flag --accept-gdpr does not work. Launching the binary using npx is also affected

Will fix tomorrow. In the mean time you can run the binary from the command line. It should save the acceptance on your system and it will then work for you. The binary is in node_modules/speedtest-net/binaries.
