how did you start the container? (don't forget to use backticks for creating a proper code block)
Via portainer, filling out everything via ui

## Attempted Fix(es)

_What you have tried in order to fix the issue_ (if anything)

Added DNS entries  (1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8) in portainer, equivalent to --dns 1.1.1.1 --dns 8.8.8.8
Tried connecting to container to see if I could ping some URLs, but sendto is not permitted on this container

This is related to bug #55 which was a bug in the inspiration for this project.

Currently the code is trying to pull from:

# https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/openvpn/openvpn-nextgen.zip
# https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/openvpn/openvpn-strong-nextgen.zip
# https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/openvpn/openvpn-ip-nextgen.zip
# https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/openvpn/openvpn-tcp-nextgen.zip
# https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/openvpn/openvpn-strong-tcp-nextgen.zip

but should now reference:

# https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/openvpn/openvpn.zip
# https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/openvpn/openvpn-windows-block-outside-dns.zip
# https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/openvpn/openvpn-strong.zip
# https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/openvpn/openvpn-ip.zip
# https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/openvpn/openvpn-tcp.zip
# https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/openvpn/openvpn-strong-tcp.zip

The solution for the inspiration docker container seems unavailable so I'd recommend until the problem is sorted, you try using a custom VPN configuration as outlined in the documentation.
