What's the problem 🤔

Privatevpn new server list is not getting updated. Latest server list can be found at https://privatevpn.com/serverlist.

• do not ask for updates, be patient
• :+1: the issue to show your support instead of commenting @qdm12 usually checks issues at least once a week, if this is a new urgent bug, revert to an older tagged container image

Seems similar with the issue I had with ProtonVPN. See #2470

The solution to that issue worked for me. Still, the automatic updates is probably broken.

@brpaz you had another problem. This is just because... India isn't here 🤷 The data Gluetun uses is taken from https://privatevpn.com/client/PrivateVPN-TUN.zip and India isn't in there. Just reach out to PrivateVPN and tell them to keep their OpenVPN zip file updated with that India server. Once that's done, run the servers data update in Gluetun and you should have that India server. Closing this since this is more of an issue on privatevpn's side.
