Click on “Advanced.“ Click on “Network Connection Icon“ Go to VPN Connections and select newly created “PureVPN OpenVPN” connection. You are connected now. Enjoy the FREEDOM!!!!!!!!! But there will be more regulation in the 1 last update 2019/05/16 future. That's what the 1 last update 2019/05/16 recent push for 1 last update 2019/05/16 greater research around purevpn ubuntu 18 04 health risks purevpn ubuntu 18 04 of category is about - laying groundwork for 1 last update 2019/05/16 regulatory oversight.
I'm struggling with getting my network set up properly, so hoping for some help.
Windows 10 host, with an Ubuntu 18.04.01 guest VM running on Hyper-V.
I can't get my VPN configured on the guest OS (PureVPN help team says that it's the version of Ubuntu, but I have no choice in that), so I'm trying to share it from my host. I know practically nothing about networking and am very new to Linux, so feeling rather lost.
My router's IP is 192.168.8.1
What I have tried:
Create a virtual switch 'intSwitch' by using the guide here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/user-guide/setup-nat-network
ifIndex = 75
Then in Hyper-V Manager, I set the VM's Network Adapter to be 'intSwitch'.
On the guest OS, I edited /etc/netplan/01-network-manager-all.yaml to include:
and I added the following to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base:
I then rebooted the Ubuntu VM.
Sadly, this hasn't worked at all and I get no network connectivity of any sort in the guest VM - not even a network icon in the top right.
I'm clearly missing something. Could someone point me in the right direction, as I'm obviously over my head here.

Download Beamtic's connecter for NordVPN (Source included), and follow the instructions in this tutorial.

Edit January 2019: NordVPN now have their own Linux client, with more options for connecting, so it is no longer recommended to use Beamtic's Connecter.
Using NordVPN in Linux is actually not very hard at all. It does lack the convenient GUI we know from Windows, but connecting from the terminal is fairly straight forward.
We created a console app, which may make it even easier to use NordVPN in Linux. The app works by showing you a list of VPN servers, you can then connect to a server by typing the number of the server, and hitting enter. The app then opens a terminal window, and automatically enters the command to connect.

Connect using Beamtics console app
3: Then download Beamtic's console app from here (c++ source is included)
4: Unzip the files from NordVPN-Connecter.7z to the directory: '/opt/NordVPN Connecter'
5: Drag and drop the .desktop file from '/opt/NordVPN Connecter/NordVPN Connecter.desktop' onto unity for convenient access. Left-click to connect, right-click and choose disconnect to disconnect.
You should be able to close the terminal window after connecting, but you can leave it open to easily disconnect later by pressing Ctrl + C.
Connect using terminal commands
