PureVPN, will not connect unless I stop eset firewall.

I tried many different settings, none worked

 

Anyone have this combo working?

If you temporarily disable fw from the tray icon menu,does it help or you must disable it in the advanced setup?

If I disable in the tray it works fine.

FYI. Below are ports and protocols used by PureVPN. I suspect that port 53 might be the issue. 

 

Usually Firewalls do not block Virtual Private Networks but if you are facing trouble, all you need to do is to create relevant exception in your firewall settings. PureVPN supports following protocols:

 

PPTP VPN, which requires port 1723 opened on your firewall for both UDP/TCP. GRE 45
L2TP VPN, which requires port 1701 opened on the firewall for both UDP/TCP, and;
SSTP VPN, which requires port 443 opened on the firewall for both UDP/TCP.
OpenVPN UDP: 53
OpenVPN TCP: 80
