Is openvpn.1.1.7 available on this site, cant find it?
Have upgrade to vix 6.0.3 and now cannot get openvpn working again. Think I'm on 1.1.3 and it needs a python3 update?

This is the one I'm using. Can't remember where I got it though.

I'd assumed it was in plugin downloads, but I haven't found it.

Yeah it looks like only the latest version works. I tried for months using 1.1.3 when I changed to 1.1.7 I started to see progress (thanks to willo). I`m now using OpenBlackhole because it allows me to use all the plugins I had with Blackhole image. The only negative I have now is I can`t have my box restart enigma every morning for a refresh, using cron commands. I`m useless at what to do.

Thank you willo, much appreciated. That's gone straight in and working. Now see if I can get my config working!!

ttt can you not manually update a cron with init 6 to restart? (Never tried it)

 

[stash36]

Yes you can, just tried it.

Add this to your cron file (probably called root) in /var/spool/cron/crontabs

00 05 * * * /sbin/init 6

Then restart the cron
/etc/init.d/crond restart

That will restart at 5am every day.

.... although there'll be no checks for recordings in progress.

 

[stash36]

Indeed, its a bit of a brutal approach.
Very rusty unix skills here...

I'm pretty sure there are power timers in BH, but I've never used that image.

Beautiful, that worked a treat, just did a test.
Thankyou everyone.

Indeed you are correct, that is how I was able to restart my box in Blackhole image. However, I have now fully transferred to OpenBlackhole and couldn`t be happier. I am fully up and running with some plugins working that stopped working yonks ago in Blackhole image.
Thankyou all for your input. It`s much appreciated.

I made a wrong statement in an earlier post. I am in fact using VPN Manager 1.1.3 because my image is not py3. It`s py2, that is how my plugins work. Anyhow I have a slight niggle, not a complaint or a problem. I notice that when I start my VPN my box IP(internal IP) changes along with the external IP(obviously). Is it possible to stop my box IP changing? Like I said, it`s no big deal if not possible.

 

[stash36]

Yes mate, Setup / Network / Device / Adapter Settings
Change use DHCP to No, it will retain its IP then.

 

[ttt1892]

I already have DHCP set to no. It`s the VPN Manager in my plugins that must be changing the IP as that`s what I am using to start the VPN.

you should be using enigma2-plugin-extensions-vpnmanager_1.1.4_all.ipk , for python3 it is enigma2-plugin-extensions-vpnmanager_1.1.7-py3_all.ipk

Where do we get that from? It's not on the feeds right? Do we need to add it?
