What does STRICT_PORT_FORWARD do?

[UntouchedWagons]

There's no explanation for it and the only use of it in this repo is in the readme.

I found some information here

If i understand correctly; it's only relevant for PIA users that have port forwarding enabled.

Relevant bit:

The alternative to this is to set env var 'STRICT_PORT_FORWARD' value to 'no', this will then skip any port forwarding and allow you to connect to ANY PIA endpoint independent of whether it supports port forwarding or not (not recommended as speeds will be slow). Note:- The above is ONLY true for PIA users, the env var 'STRICT_PORT_FORWARD' does nothing for any other VPN providers.
