hotspotstation failing to connect

[durkimat]

Hi All,
Anyone come across anything like this - I've got my VPN provider configured properly, the docker starts up, connections seem to be attempted but are then closed. I've tried a couple of different regions, both seem to be read properly from the configuration parameter, but I get the same result.
For user and password parameters I'm using the ovpn router settings from hotspotshield, though I don't think it's getting as far as authenticating tbh - changing these doesn't make any difference
I also don't see any sign in time update on the hotspotshield account pages.
I've tried bridge and host networks, both fail at the same point.
I would appreciate any ideas on this,
thanks,
Matt

I somehow just found an answer elsewhere. It seems hotspotshield generate a unique ovpn config for every account, so the repo of files won't work and the only option is to go down the custom config route with an ovpn file downloaded from your account. I will try this and in the meantime close this.
