NOTES
If you are running Get-NordVPNCountryList with the -UpdateFallback
parameter, the fallback file NordVPN_Countries.xml may be updated from the
cache. If you wish to ensure the files are updated using the latest data from
the API, you should run Clear-NordVPNCountryCache to ensure the data is
redownloaded.
The cache only persists as long as the PowerShell session in which the module
is loaded. If the module is first loaded without an internet connection, no
cache will be created and the fallback file NordVPN_Countries.xml will be
used instead. If you wish to avoid unnecessary attempts to download the latest
data from the NordVPN API, you can call Get-NordVPNCountryList -Offline
which skips any API requests and uses the fallback file instead.
