I have followed the instructions on the forum. Its a shame they are not listed on the main website...
I have followed them to the letter and it still fails to connect.
I have deleted the connection and reset it, and again - nothing!!
I am using the IP 69.65.42.41 and I have an OpenVPN Account.
The email I recieved never actually had a connection IP address, so I used the one in the windows instructions.
HELP!!

Bryan, before you say about logging a call, I have done but I have been trying for about a week to get this working!!

Dear Pitsy,
Sorry to see this problem - However, we have a proper support system in place for any kind of issue(s) here : http://billing.purevpn.com/submitticket.php
For your convenience, I am providing the tutorial here:

A Graphical User Interface for OpenVPN on Mac OS X is a package called Tunnelblick. To install this GUI, follow the steps below:
* Download the package from the site http://www.tunnelblick.net. It is a Zip compressed file which contains the GUI and the OpenVPN software;
* Double-click on the zip file (we suppose it is located on the Desktop) to extract the only file that contains. The executable file called Tunnelblick appears on the Desktop;
* Double-click on the file Tunnelblick to start the program. A dialog box appears to alert you that configuration files must be stored in the directory Library/openvpn/. Press [Continue] and then close the openvpn.conf configuration file. We will not use this example file;
* Tunnelblick is now installed and its icon appears near the clock. At this point, you have to configure OpenVPN to establish the VPN connection with PureVPN server;
* Get all the files from the zip archive(attached with email) and use the Finder to put them in the directory Library/openvpn of the user home directory.
* Close Tunnelblick by clicking the [Quit] item from the menu that appears by clicking on the Tunnelblick's icon. Restart it again by double-clicking on the Tunnelblick program. The item [Connect] is now available in the Tunnelblick menu. Choose it to start the VPN connection with the PureVPN server;
* Start the VPN connection by selecting the item [Connect 'Zeroshell']. In the dialog box that appears type the username and password and there you go!
In the case in which there are connection problems, select the item [Details...] to check the OpenVPN's log messages.
Hope this helps :)

Dear Barhoom,
Thankyou for posting your comments in our forum.
However, in order to better assist you, I need to know whether you are on Shared IP PPTP/L2PT subscription or OpenVPN subcription? The files you only need for OpenVPN
In order to get a faster response, you are advised to submit a support ticket here : http://billing.purevpn.com/submitticket.php
