Otherwise scripts must be updated for each provider to update common structure.

E.g. split each provider net.sh into net-pools.sh and net-presets.sh as CSV, to then generate JSON from this main repository.

Map pools by identifier. Sorting is done via PoolGroup, there's no need to use an array where search cost is linear.

Requires non-compatible change in infrastructure JSON:

{"pools":[...]}

to:

{"pools":{"us123":{...},"fr456":{...}}

Might also consider mapping by country/area (1:1 with PoolGroup) rather than identifier.

Running a generic .sh is convenient during development, but absolutely insecure in production. Prefer other means to get a JSON from provider scripts.

They seem one of the more popular providers, and a lot of people seem to switch to them (or Mulvad) with the PIA takeover debacle going on right now.

Infrastructure JSON can be shrinked dramatically by expressing pools having varying num field with just a range (or set of ranges). Doing the following -current behavior- for hundreds of servers is naïve overkill:

Omitting resolved addresses helps the transition. This is not an issue for a massive infra like NordVPN where DNS resolution is in fact skipped.
