URL to the Wiki page

https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun/wiki/NordVPN

What's the issue?

Server groups are also supported. eg, you can use SERVER_GROUPS in docker compose instead of SERVER_REGIONS.

The current groups from NordVPN can be found in the CLI. For example:

$ sudo nordvpn groups
 > Africa_The_Middle_East_And_India
 > Double_VPN
 > Onion_Over_VPN
 > Standard_VPN_Servers
 > Asia_Pacific
 > Europe
 > P2P
 > The_Americas

This data should be added through #1380 first

Although what's the use case? 🤔

The region group will now be taken into account (The_Americas, etc.) and you will be able to use the SERVER_REGIONS filter.

But the other ones, do they have any use? That would add a considerable amount of data to the servers data because each server has 3-5 groups, and given the high number of nordvpn servers (they make half of the servers data in gluetun!), that would add a few MBs to the Docker image which I would ideally avoid.

I’m not asking to change the docker image. I’m saying that the current image already does support SERVER_GROUPS. Updating the wiki would save folks fumbling around like I did to see if it works :)

it doesn't work, since the data has no server group for nordvpn servers (check out https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun/blob/master/internal/storage/servers.json)

I'm not sure what to tell you, but this docker-compose connects to the VPN just fine:

  gluetun:
    image: qmcgaw/gluetun
    container_name: gluetun
    hostname: gluetun
    restart: always
    networks:
      npm_proxy:
        ipv4_address: REDACTED
    cap_add:
      - NET_ADMIN
    ports:
      - "9091:9091" # Transmission
      - "51413:51413" # Transmission
      - "51413:51413/udp" # Transmission
      - "34400:34400" # xTeVe
      - "8008:80" # Spedtest Tracker
      - "8443:443"  # Spedtest Tracker
    devices:
      - /dev/net/tun
    volumes:
      - $DOCKERDIR/appdata/gluetun:/gluetun
    environment:
      - TZ=$TZ
      - VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=nordvpn
      - OPENVPN_USER=$OPENVPN_USERNAME
      - OPENVPN_PASSWORD=$OPENVPN_PASSWORD
      - SERVER_GROUPS=Double_VPN

SERVER_GROUPS is not even a defined environment variable, so it's simply ignored. Gluetun randomly picks any VPN server from all the servers available.

Understood.

Then to answer your use-case question, I was hoping to use random double_vpn servers.
