Hi just checking here, you did put in your credentials in not the passwords you use to get onto surfsharks web site?
They might have changed the plans I haven't tried it for over a year
I got it working without registering a my private network account, just ran a script generator on your link and it worked a treat. Appreciate your work dsayers, but I don't think the first bit is needed with joining my private network.

And hit enter
Before starting OpenVPN we can run an IP check script this will tell you if the vpn is working and you can test it when changing servers.
The script should have downloaded a plugin called IP Checker.
Goto plugin and you should see IP Checker press ok on the plugin and it should run a simple IP check script
You should get something like this I have removed part of my IP address

Now start openvpn on box

After starting openvpn the above should stay green and say running, You can now go back to plugins and start IP Checker and see if the IP Address has changed
If using Mac
There is a version of Putty for Mac but is not very good.
Open Applications ->Utilities ->
Type the following command telnet 192.168.X.X (change the IP address to the one for the Zgemma/Enigma2 boxes)
Enter the username root (and password if you have set one) and press enter
Then follow the instructions above.
Problem 1,
When enabling OpenVPN I lose internet connection.
Possible Solution
Goto your network settings on box and change DHPC to no then blue button to Edit DNS
Try Google DNS
Nameserver 1 8.8.8.8
Nameserver2 8.8.4.4
I have been working on this script since last Friday, I had a few teething problems but thanks to MYVPN with there help we sorted it and also a big thankyou to
@grog68 with his suggestions and help with making the script more simpler.
