The program emits terminal-control sequences when writing to a pipe rather than a terminal.

Hello.
Great project! There is an enhancement idea.
Possibility to enter the number of x top results (zero for unlimited number) and some switch to show average (min/max) ping result, with the fastest/optimal servers from all the available globally (not just from one country). There could be some additional switch to indicate countries to exclude from top/testing. As well as for comparison with top results show the slowest (worst) result.
Instead of ping, the opensource librespeed.org (https://github.com/librespeed/speedtest-cli) could be an option.
For instance:
Looking for Top 10 servers (excluding IT US) with lowest (average) ping / load

P.S. This in combo with WireGuard-Config-Extract (https://github.com/wifiuk/NordLynx-WireGuard-Config-Extract) could be great for automation (cronjob) of switching (for example, OpenWRT/pfSense router) between NordVPN servers to be always optimal.

FYI, I found this:

This is used here https://nordvpn.com/servers/

Hi,

it would be great if you could add an option to know the load of a specific server.
eg.: nordvpn-server-find -s be124.nordvpn.com
The output would be:
eg.: 15 (without "%")

Thanks.

PS: I know it is a request, not an issue. Sorry.

It'd be nice to use, for example, the -l flag within scripts. At the moment this is not trivial because the output is both colored and suffixed by the current server load.

Current behaviour (fine outside of scripts

~ nordvpn-server-find -l uk -n 1

Looking for servers located in UK with server load lower than 30%...

ukXXX.nordvpn.com    1%

Desired behaviour

~ nordvpn-server-find -q -l uk -n 1
ukXXX.nordvpn.com

I know this is a small project, but it is very useful. Would it be possible for you to add a license?
