VPN Manager for OpenVPN

    Quote from zomboided

    Fr33z3be I've changed VPNSecure using the files you changed and the previous ovpn shared.

    You'll need to be on 6.4.2 which I've not pushed to the repo because of some annoying minor Matrix bugs I need to fix, but you can get here

    If it doesn't work, please share a log

    Hello, i will test it tomorrow after work.

    Keep you posted, but i hope i can give you the right log, haven't got that much experience with logs in kodi/libreelec.

    rav3k can you edit /storage/.kodi/addons/service.vpn.manager/Windscribe/Poland (UDP).ovpn and change the remote line to :

    remote waw-85.whiskergalaxy.com 443

    Then try reconnecting.

    Ive made the changes in poland (udp).ovpn but still cant connect.

    Hide.me after update not working

    Hello Zomboided

    I tested the VPNSecure with the file (6.4.2) you provided, it gives an error. Error screen in attachment.

    Everything seems ok with the files but the template.txt is different then before.

    I added these files also in the attachements.

    If you need other Log-files please let me know and where to find them in folderstructure. Couldn't find the openvpn log anywhere?

    Fr33z3be Sorry, forgot to add the line to tell the ovpn where to get the password from....fixed, go pick up the updated defs I've just pushed, you don't need to move to a new level of code, you're fine where you are.

    rav3k I've just checked the ovpn file you shared with me with the ovpn file in the log, and they're virtually identical (and don't differ in any way that causes an auth failure). Your next thing to try is to take the ovpn and use the User Defined wizard with the same id/password. Right now this just looks like an auth failure to me - do Windscribe expect you to use a different id/pass when using ovpn files? I can't remember.

    Alister The errors are the parameters being pushed back from your provider, and the program to update the IP table not updating the IP table (maybe because it's already updated, maybe because of a permission issue). It looks like it connects ok though. Why do you think this isn't working?

    no connection is established

    when i do ip check still see my real external ip

    on the picture see connected

    but is not

    I've made a user defined import wizard. Not working. I've downloaded connection config to warsaw udp.ovpn and sellected it, it ask me to enter cert password, ive entered my password - auth_failed. O M G. My password is 100% good.

    rav3k You probably need to check out the trouble shooting on the wiki, use the command line to eliminate the add-on and see if you can get support from your VPN provider. I can't fix this - I'm just using the parameters that you've given me. If you learn anything new I'll be happy to look at it.

    Hello, Where can i find the updated version? In the previous link?? Release 6.4.2 · Zomboided/service.vpn.manager · GitHub

    It says its updated 2 days ago?

    Sorry, i'm not familiar with github....

    Quote from zomboided

    Fr33z3be you don’t need to upgrade, you’ve installed 6.4.2 already I think? The vpn definitions are updated separately

    Ok I will test it today. Keep you posted!! Thanks.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    #Update on VPNSecure: I tested it and it works flawless :)

    Thank you very much!!

    Will you merge it in to the other build? Or do i keep this version?

    Edited 2 times, last by Fr33z3be: Post update (December 20, 2020 at 3:49 PM).

    Good news...you're good to stay on 6.4.2 or later as they get released.

    I'm not ready to push this out on the repo to everyone yet as it's still a bit beta (contains all the changes needed for Python 3)

    I don't use CoreELEC, so I can't comment on how it (should) work. From the failed add command error, maybe this is a sudo issue - I don't know if CoreELEC requires you to use that or not, but there's an option to enable it within the GUI.

    The other issue I see here is maybe your DNS is not being refreshed. A lot of people have seen this issue, but for sure I've never understood why some people see it and not others.

    For both of these issues, there's a lot of detail on the wiki here 07. Advanced Options · Zomboided/service.vpn.manager Wiki · GitHub

    I'm also happy to look at a current ovpn file from hide.me if you want to get one. I can't see them as I'm not a member. See step 3 here How to Set Up A OpenVPN Command Line VPN on Linux (Ubuntu) | hide.me
