Can you post a print of your netgear pptp config screen?

You need just the username, password and server address.

After you subscribe purevpn, they provide you manual username and password for manual pptp config, and the server address list

We have 30 days to cancel with no costs, if any negative experience.

I want to test better,

Success: Alien Front, PBA Bowling

Moderate: Ooga Booga [minimal lag, like 10%]

Fail: NBA 2k2 (need more tests, like apply vpn direct inside the raspberry)

Yes, could not send/receive. This is using PPTP way, there's other tests to do.

Can be another issue not related to ports, like a net route limitation between the players, because of different countries connection, we did VPN (US) vs Normal ISP (BR)
