Please note that, if I use the Private Internet Access proprietary VPN client software, I get high id and pass eMule's built in TCP port test. Once connected to a PIA port-forwarding enabled server, if a port is properly assigned, you hover your mouse over the PIA client icon in the task tray and you get a tool tip which tells you the port. Then you put that in eMule and are good to go.
You only get one port; so, I am only using Ed2k.
This is a pain, because it means you have to be at the computer to manually change the port every time you disconnect / connect to the VPN.
Recently, they announced that you can use OpenVPN client software and then use a script to get your port number. I am trying that now with no success. I am able to connect to the port forwarding enabled servers and get a port with the Python3 script that I have written. When I get the assigned port number, I put it in eMule. But when I connect to the eMule servers, I get low id and cannot pass the TCP port test.
Here is the latest from PIA level II support:

... I've been working with this and debugging parts of this as quick as I can, and it appears that this is partially due to emule and servers, rather than an issue with the VPN. Once configured and the script is run, it appears that some servers accept the port, without lowid, but others refuse to. I'm unable to determine why this is, other than a suspicion that these systems aren't connecting properly. I've been looking over the API, and confirmed that it is working, if you put up something to listen on the port, then connect to it, you can connect without an issue, but the servers aren't connecting properly. I've attached a full network stack debugger, and confirmed that these systems are never hitting the port required by emule, but others connect to it fine.
I do not get high id from any emule servers in my list. This tech says he is getting high-id from some servers but not others. Any insights / suggestions for next steps in the trouble shooting process?
