How to connect to PureVPN with or without Port Forwarding

[Sevyn13]

Here is the info needed to connect to PureVPN with or without port forwarding.

For Config with No VPN Port Forwarding:
In your PureVPN Dashboard on their site and go to Subscriptions and scroll to the bottom until you see VPN Username and VPN Password. Make note of the username and password as it will be needed in the Docker Compose.

For Config with VPN Port Forwarding:
In your PureVPN Dashboard on their site and go to Subscriptions and scroll to the bottom until you see VPN Username and VPN Password. Make note of the username and password as it will be needed in the Docker Compose. Next go to Manual Config in your PureVPN Dashboard. You should be presented with a list of countries. I have found that not all work, but I have had no problems with using Belgium. Click the little drop down next to Belgium then click download. In the box that pops up choose the UDP protocol and download the config file. Rename the config file to belgiumudp.conf and put it in the bind mount location for the config from the Docker Compose.
