    EDITED BY GORSKI


    This is a Surfshark question, not a backup one, I think, hence the wrong thread. Therefore, I opened a new thread for you...

    I have no idea where you are, m8 - or what you are doing, where you are trying to connect, using which SW and protocol and so on and so forth...


    So: All


    PLEASE, BE PRECISE AND THOROUGH WHEN ASKING FOR HELP, SO QUALITY HELP CAN BE GIVEN, if at all possible... DESCRIBE IT ALL IN DETAIL, please!!!

    "Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-incurred immaturity. Immaturity is the inability to use one's own understanding without the guidance of another. This immaturity is self-incurred if its cause is not lack of understanding, but lack of resolution and courage to use it without the guidance of another. The motto of enlightenment is therefore: Sapere aude! Have courage to use your own understanding!"

    Which STB, which Enigma2, which version, how did you edit the files, which SW did you use to edit them, did you do it exactly the way I described, which username and password are you using (the ones you chose or the ones Surfshark gave you?) and so on?!?

    Then, why on Earth did you not write in the Surfshark topic?


    And all these details MATTER!!! Otherwise you would not have the problem.


    Honestly, I am trying to help and you feel lazy to answer the essential questions? How can you be helped if you are not letting me know the facts?!?


    Seriously...

    OK, which image, which version and so on - please, answer all the relevant questions I posted above, especially given the fact I do not have your box...?


    And even if I can't - there are many knowledgeable users here, so good luck!

    Did you do it exactly as this: PROTECT YOUR STB WITH SURFSHARK VPN SERVICE ???

    Log of my OpenVPN? That would be telling... :D


    Note your address without VPN, then start OpenVPN and restart PurE2.


    When you connect/when you are online again, you will see a new IP address and additional 10.x.x.x address of VPN added to the mix, as I described in my rather careful and detailed tutorial... ;)
