Running the Script Periodically with Cron

To run the script periodically, you can set up a cron job. For example, to run the script every 4 hours, follow these steps:

1. Open your crontab configuration:

   crontab -e

2. Add a new cron job that specifies the frequency and the script to run. To run the script every 4 hours, you can use the following format:

   0 */4 * * * /path/to/nordvpn-random-country/nordvpn_connect.sh

   Replace /path/to/nordvpn-random-country/ with the actual path to the script. Save and exit the crontab editor.

The script will now execute automatically every 4 hours. You can customize the schedule by adjusting the cron expression to your desired frequency.
