OpenVPN Setup guide for most VPN,s

[Meohmy]

Thanks for the reply, I installed openvpn 1.1.3 and went through the procedure multiple times without success, vpn manager shows it is trying to login but always fails. I have come to the conclusion that either the Japhar sim image or the DM8000HD may not be compatible although I will keep trying and post my results should I succeed.

 

[Meohmy]

I finally have it working on my DM8000HD, I decided to start from scratch so factory reset my receiver and used the script to install vpnmanager and the NordVPN file folder before installing any other plugins.
I then started vpnmanager to see that my password etc was recognised, then put in some configuration files and everything now working 100%. I would like to thank dsayers for his script and everyone who has contributed to this very informative post.
I also now have everything backed up for next time.

Hi David great work, is there a way of adding cyber ghost to the script please

Hi David great work, is there a way of adding cyber ghost to the script please

Only if they have a url with all configs in a zip file.


If not you can install VPN manager

https://github.com/davesayers2014/OpenVPN/raw/master/enigma2-plugin-extensions-vpnmanager_1.1.4_all.ipk

Send configs to one folder say HDD/vpn

In VPN manager press menu and set all configs in one folder yes

Add username and password.

For long usernames and passwords you can add a pass.file containing your username and password to the same location

Hi David,

Any way to remove VPN changer once installed?

I've removed the plugin in the usual way through Vix, but the icon then changes and is still in my list. Is there something else I need to delete through FTP?

THanks

Tom

 

[dsayers]

You should be able to uninstall via remove plugins then reboot box

I'm not sure. Double check no space is left after Username and password.

Try with grogs VPN Conf Importer with vpn.txt in tmp https://www.world-of-satellite.com/...for-most-VPN-s&p=505209&viewfull=1#post505209

I don't have access to a pia account to test to see if anything has changed.

Is this the same for every server you have tried try copying pass.file to configs folder i,e, /hdd/PIA_VPN2

 

[BrokenUnusableAccount]

Are you trying to use both OpenVPN and SOCKS5?

Hello guys. I have been trying for months now to get my VPN on my Vu Ultimo 4k using latest Blackhole image. I`ve been on all the sat sites and tried various methods to get this working. Nothing works. I have tried for weeks to get dsayers method to work. Just isn`t happening. Can anyone confirm that PIA vpn is still working using dsayers method? I have even contacted PIA for help but they say they don`t support Enigma2. I even tried installing wooshbuild with the easily add vpn plugin. You guessed it, no joy there either. This really is beginning to depress me.

 

[dsayers]

I don't have access to pia but they may have changed there config files. What image are you using?

 

[Willo3092]

I'm using PIA with VPN Manager 1.1.7 on ViX 6.0 with no problems. No idea about Blackhole I'm afraid.
