Similar to issue #1613, rolling back to v3.34.1 doesn't work also

Log with v3.34.1:

Running version v3.34.1 built on 2023-05-22T06:02:37.334Z (commit 6d48f9c)

As the log mentions, the region is now the continent, you can use SERVER_COUNTRIES to specify the country. I decided to bundle this and slightly break changes for once, since keeping both retro-compatible was a nightmare.

This was changed in https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun/commit/07459ee854f9609c1e9aa7d7161f9af04a59199b which affects the latest image, although I'm not 100% sure about why v3.34 complains about this.

Let's keep this opened so I update the wiki about it.

[qdm12]

Actually running:

docker run -it --rm --cap-add=NET_ADMIN -e VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=nordvpn -e OPENVPN_USER=a -e OPENVPN_PASSWORD=b -e SERVER_REGIONS=Poland --name gluetun qmcgaw/gluetun:v3.34.1

does work for me (same version Running version v3.34.1 built on 2023-05-22T06:02:37.334Z (commit 6d48f9c)), so I'm not sure what's going in your logs for v3.34.x images.

Wiki got updated 👍

Thank you, going back to the latest version with Server_Countries as the parameter, it worked! Thank you also for the quick reply and editing on the wiki :)
