Bug: Torguard Hostnames outdated?

[mh22E]

Is this urgent?

None

Host OS

Ubuntu 23.04

CPU arch

None

VPN service provider

TorGuard

What are you using to run the container

docker-compose

What is the version of Gluetun

v3.34.3

What's the problem 🤔

Torguard not able to establish a vpn configuration.

Hostnames gathered from https://torguard.net/downloads/OpenVPN-UDP-Linux.zip seem to be wrong/outdated.

Creating a ovpn config via the config torguards openvpn-config generator gives valid hostnames (e.g. ger.torguard.com) that work, if a custom config is created.

Suggested solutions would be:

1. Find another source than https://torguard.net/downloads/OpenVPN-UDP-Linux.zip that contains up-to-date hostnames
2. Allow hostnames like ger.torguard.com for provider=torguard (gluetun errs because e.g. 'ger.torguard.com' is not known) or for custom providers (only resolved ip's possible that may be subject to change) Feature request: Support hostnames on VPN_ENDPOINT_IP  #788

That error usually happens because either:

1. The VPN server IP address you are trying to connect to is no longer valid 🔌
   Update your server information using https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun/wiki/Updating-Servers

Share your configuration

Default minimal torguard configuration as shown in wiki.

[qdm12]

Find another source than https://torguard.net/downloads/OpenVPN-UDP-Linux.zip that contains up-to-date hostnames

Sure, can you reach out to them about updating their zip file? Or do they have an API web endpoint to get their servers data?

Allow hostnames like ger.torguard.com for provider=torguard (gluetun errs because e.g. 'ger.torguard.com' is not known) or for custom providers (only resolved ip's possible that may be subject to change)

Sure but this blocking feature request is a few months away still, so I would rather do the first proposed solution right now.

[qdm12]

Servers updated in 1a5a014 using the old zip link.

I still need a new link to their zip file or API endpoint to update with newer servers.

Same problem with any TorGuard server

ERROR VPN settings: OpenVPN settings: custom configuration file: extracting information from custom configuration file: extracting connection from file: on line 4: extracting from remote line: host is not an IP address: ger.torguard.com

temporarily solved by manually entering the ipv4 corresponding to the hostname manually in the config file
