What's the problem 🤔

Hello ! I purchased a Purevpn dedicated address IP with port-forwarding feature. It looks like it's not possible to use this feature with this container.

I tryed with the VPN_ENDPOINT_IP env variable but it didn't work.

Thanks for you're help !

How does the openvpn config downloaded from Purevpn changes for a dedicated ip? Is it even possible with just openvpn? 🤔

Sometime the endpoint server vpn ip address is not the same as the vpn public ip you get (aka dedicated ip), maybe that's the case here?

Thanks for your reply. I'm so sad, bu I've seen with the pureVpn customer support and they told me that it's not possible to use a dedicated IP using openVpn.

Luckily I got a refund (1 month trial). If you're trying to setup a seedbox on a raspberry pie, I do not recommend this provider.

Do you know a VPN provider who allows port forwarding that works with tour service ?

@Chris3481

Just a thought, but you could set up your own VPN server with a dedicated IP using a cloud provider like Vultr. Could be as cheap as $5/mo. Choose Debian or Ubuntu, and install OpenVPN server with the PiVPN script.

You could then connect to that server via Gluetun, using the Custom Provider option -- and a .ovpn file generated from your cloud-based server.

Thanks, looks like it's the best solution to have a dedicated vpn IP address for almost nothing :)

Ok closing this then.

What port do you need forwarded for Tor? AFAIK most providers assign you a port but you can't really pick so that can be problematic.
