Current Behavior

Container fails to find proper config file because the NordVPN api no longer works. I talked with their chat support and it is intentional.

e.g. https://api.nordvpn.com/v1/servers/groups (Should show 429 Too Many Requests or another error or not respond)

Expected Behavior

Container finds openvpn profile

How have you tried to solve the problem?

Started from scratch with latest versions
Figured out the issue from logs
Went through the code
Contacted NordVPN support

Working fine here, both the container and accessing https://api.nordvpn.com/v1/servers/groups in browser.

No idea what support told you, but either they misunderstood you, you misunderstood them, or they were talking crap. As far as I'm aware they use their API for their own software, so it would make zero sense for them just to disable it.

Tried changing your DNS to 1.1.1.1 and/or 8.8.8.8?

You're right. I just tried with another IP address and it works. I'll talk with their support again.
