[Feature]: Bring back the previous pinging logic. #330

Description

@Anderhar

Preflight checks

  • I have searched existing issues and this feature has not already been requested.
  • This request is for the Windscribe desktop app (not the browser extension, mobile app, or web dashboard).
  • I understand that incomplete requests may be closed without further discussion.

Problem or motivation

After updating to v2.22.10 stable, location ordering by latency no longer works for me.
I suspect this is related to the "HTTP ping to use IP address rather than hostname" change from v2.22.6-beta, which obviously is incompatible with my anti-censorship stack, where Windscribe app is routed through an additional VLESS tunnel using domain- and port-based rules.

I understand this is a fairly uncommon use case, but if you could keep the old pinging logic as an option at least just as Advanced Parameter, that would be great.
And by the way, the Android app isn’t affected.
