Find the fastest NordVPN servers from the command line, filtering by location and current server load
Small script to find the fastest NordVPN servers, filtering by location and current capacity (i.e. server load).
Super useful if you use a third-party VPN client (like Viscosity) and want to quickly find out the fastest server to connect to.
The script calls an undocumented NordVPN API endpoint for quick and reliable results.
USAGE
nordvpn-server-find -r|(-l LOCATION [-c CAPACITY=30] [-n LIMIT=20] [-q])
-r recommended Just output the recommended server for your location and exit, ignoring other options -q quiet Just output the best result for the given location, ignoring the -n and the -c option -l location 2-letter ISO 3166-1 country code (ex: us, uk, de) -c capacity Current server load, integer between 1-100 (defaults to 30) -n limit Limits number of results, integer between 1-100 (defaults to 20)
The -r and -q flags can be useful for scripting. For example, on macOS this script gets Viscosity to automatically connect to the recommended server for your location:
#!/usr/bin/osascript
tell application "Viscosity"
connect "$(nordvpn-server-find -r).tcp"
end tell
If -q is given, manually set capacity and limit are ignored. If -r is given all other options are ignored.
DEPENDENCIES
- Bash 4
- jq 1.5
