PIA port forwarding doesn't update over time

[snowlucas]

Information

When I start with Docker-compose using PIA as my provider I get some errors with CURL but I do get a connection and I do get an open port with port forwarding setup automatically. Within an hour the port is no longer open. The project haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn appears to check the port every 15 mins and opens a new one with PIA if closed. 15 mins appears to be the PIA standard. This project doesnt seem to have the check and update feature but this might be an issue with my setup and the curl errors I'm getting?

"curl: (3) URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL"

Attempted Fix(es)

Searched here and found a reference to the curl: (3) URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL but no real fix.
I've tried running the pia port update script from inside the container with the same error.

Seems like a keep alive needs to be send every 15 mins to retain the port forward otherwise the api drops it.
