OpenVPN Setup guide for most VPN,s

[Ford1]

do you use your p******* user name or did you generate the pptp username and use that? ive ran the script twice and it hasn't downloaded the config files. if I download manually it work great.

 

[dsayers]

hi dsayers,
Late to the party with this, im trying to use PIA and it dosent seem to be downloading the required location files, I can download them manually and add them to HDD/PIA_VPN2
should the script automatically download ALL locations from the PIA website?

Also im using my main site login details, should I be using "PPTP/L2TP/SOCKS Username and Password"

sorry if these have been covered, I have tried to look the thread for relevant info.

I'm seeing different images having issues with downloading the files in script. Possibly different wget

For username and password I think the generated username and password in pia

I use my generated PIA user & pass if that helps

Ok guys, me again..........
have changed providers to surfshark, have generated a manual config user and pass, put these into dsayers generater.
the generater seems to complete fully with no errors, however the username is missing from the "pass.file"
I have manually edited the file using notepad++ but it still wont start the vpn, and shows no username, any help?

It always seems to remove the user name from the pass.file.

Press menu on VPN manager and check the username is in there

 

[Ford1]

no the username is not present in that menu, and if I enter it, when I run the manager, it removes it again.

OpenVPN script generator worked perfectly for me thanks

 

[candyman]

Test OpenVPN script generator

Hi im looking for users to test a new version of the script.

Setup is similar but this version will install VPN Manager with an option to edit username and password via the plugin in case it was incorrectly put on the generator.

First open Putty, and in the HostName (or IP address) box enter the enigma2 boxes IP address, and then click the Telnet radio button and click open

And then log in using the word, root

Users can visit

https://e2openvpn.com/test_gen/
Add there username and password this will now generate a script.

Copy and paste the script in putty and hit enter you should now have the option for what VPN you want to use:

1) Nord VPN
2) IP Vanish
3) Digibit
4) PureVPN
5) PIA VPN
6) Windscrape
7) SurfShark
8) TorGuard
9) Ivacy
10) Quite


Choose your option and hit Enter this should then download the configs and once finished it will say OpenVPN Configs downloaded Please Start OpenVPN.


You will be asked to enter your choice again but you can ignore this.

Reboot box and goto plugins, VPN Manager and choose a country.

If you receive auth errors you can press menu and check the location is correct it should be /hdd/vpn_name. You can also check username and password is correct and edit if needed.

Brilliant, thanks tried for 3 days until I found this

Is openvpn still running in network menu?

Current Status shows as Stopped

But as soon as i manually input the nameserver which currently shows as 0.0.0.0 within Nameserver Settings

The VPN is shown as running again within VPN Manager & OPENVPN.

Only way to stop the VPN is a full reboot which blanks out the Nameserver i can re add 192.168.1.1 and all is fine until next time I restart the VPN

I now have VPN Manager working as its intended to if is set DHCP to yes on my VU Solose & DUO2 OpenVIX 5.4.001 Image
(setting DHCP to No doesnt allow my VPN to stop)

As I mentioned before VPN Manager works as its intended to with DHCP set to NO on OpenVIX 5.3.039

Not sure whats changed between OpenVIX 5.3 & 5.4 to stop Vpn Manager functioning like it did before on a static Lan ?

Any recommendation on a good vpn provider to use with openvix to use for italy, mainly raiplay? I have tried purevpn and it is not working at all

The DSAYERS VPN script is spot on. My question is, I have had a subscription with Octane VPN for a few years now. Is there anyway to add it to the VPN script so that I can install it onto a Zgemma H92H. Or is there another way. I have tried many guides etc but to no avail, and the script works so well it would be perfect if Octane could be added into it.

 

[dsayers]

Do they have a place to download the configs?

If they do send them to HDD/vpn and set vpn manager to that location

 

[dsayers]

Yesterday I was thinking of using python to download the configs as some seem to have issues in wget.

I can get this to work but my issue is that I want to have script run and install plugin via opkg install then python download configs then back to script to unzip and change settings

 

[Yellow Ostrich]

For manual setup VPN Manager by murxer

Install ipk, Save all configs to one folder no need to edit them then Open vpn manager and press menu change All config in one folder to yes

Save directory config set to the location of your config files

Then you can add username and password.

I've not installed a vpn before and am just about to subscribe to IP Vanish, unless you think there is a better option at a similar price.

I've installed your plugin, but don't where I get the configuration files from. I'm assuming I need to create a folder call vpn in the root of the HDD on the e2 box and copy the files into it??

Thanks,

YO

I've just found this guide for a linux installation of IPVanish, so I think these are the configuration files you mentioned in the instructions?
