As a noobie I was wondering how a VPN works, and the Gateway address that I was given at setup doesn't give me any idea where it is in the big wide world. Is there an address book or list with Gateway address for different countries I could obtain?
I guess as a Linux Mint 17.3 user I have made things difficult (no easy setup.exe program) as when I installed it on my mobile I have a menu of countries to choose from.
My Gateway address is ny1-ovpn.purevpn.net. I have no idea where that is!
