Displays a list of countries with NordVPN servers, with the number of servers in each country. Notable is the use of a calculated property in Format-Table.
PARAMETERS
-Offline
Temporarily overrides the OfflineMode setting and uses the fallback file stored in NordVPN_Countries.xml. This does not change the value of the setting but is useful when access to the web API is not available.
The fallback file can be updated when online with -UpdateFallback.
Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: Offline
Aliases:
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-UpdateFallback
Passing this switch causes the function to update the NordVPN_Countries.xml
fallback file, using the data retrieved from the NordVPN web API or cache.
This functionality cannot be used when OfflineMode is enabled or the -Offline
switch parameter is passed.
Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: DefaultOperation
Aliases:
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
CommonParameters
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -InformationAction, -InformationVariable, -OutVariable, -OutBuffer, -PipelineVariable, -Verbose, -WarningAction, and -WarningVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters.
INPUTS
None
OUTPUTS
NordVPNCountryList
NOTES
The module utilises a countries cache to reduce API calls.
Further calls after the initial download will retrieve data from a local cache
of the country list until the number of seconds defined with
Set-NordVPNCountryCacheLifetime (default: 600s) has passed, after which the
cache will be updated using the API.
To force downloading from the API, run Clear-NordVPNCountryCache first.
If the module is configured to only use the fallback files, with the command
Set-NordVPNModuleSetting OfflineMode 1, the country list will be retrieved
from NordVPN_Countries.xml in the module directory.
This is useful for offline environments.
Use Set-NordVPNModuleSetting OfflineMode 0 to restore web API usage.
As the list returned is a custom class, in order to pass it through the
pipeline, you should use the GetEnumerator()
method, e.g (Get-NordVPNCountryList).GetEnumerator() | ...
