Not exactly a DD-WRT question but there seems to be several pretty smart members here.
I just purchased purevpn 3 year subscription because it was a heck of a deal. Had to install as pptp connection on routers for some reason to get it to work. Seems to be working fine.
Is there any reason to not want pptp instead of openvpn. I have a couple days to cancel if I want.

As usual you have provided a precise, to the point and timely response to my ( and all ) question. Thanks eibgrad you are awesome.
Looks like I am in for a chat Crying or Very sad session to find out why they can't make openvpn work.
I tried their 3 setup options to install on DD-WRT and their rep said use pptp and gave me a server that wasn't in their published server list. Odd.

Again, Thank You Very Much.

Wow Information overload.
As I understand it, I need to
1: restore factory default
2: Revert to r33006 8/3/17 (checked to see if any problems reported for my router model, none seen)
3: Use install script from @sploit Feb 16 2017
    https://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=307250

4: add username/password
5: add UDP server IP
6: save /apply settings
7: see if it's working

Edit:OPENVPN State
Client: CONNECTED SUCCESS
Did not perform steps 1&2.
Ran command per @sploit

Quote:
eval `wget -q -O - http://sploitworks.com/vpnsetups/purevpn-has-rotten-manuals.swi
`

Then performed steps 4,5,6,and 7

UPDATE:
Even though I was able to get openvpn functional with PureVPN, after reading everything associated with eibgrad suggestion

Might want to check out the following thread.

https://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=313377

There's a well-known, long standing problem w/ dd-wrt, OpenVPN, and PureVPN. Fortunately, sploit has found a solution.
coupled with the fact that if I even enabled any port port forward it broke my internet connection I have cancelled my subscription and will move on somewhere else. I am hoping I won't be back asking for help for that. Thanks to eibgrad,sploit, and dd-wrt forum for the help.
