    Thanks for the cmd string, I would never have guessed that one :s Entered it through putty. Not 100% sure if I did it the right way. Copy of log attached.

    I am away for a couple of weeks making it difficult to try any other diagnostics. If you don't mind can we pick up the thread when I return?

    Thanks again for your time

    Hi Zomboided,

    I ran the command line openvpn as you suggested and got a full page of options back. You mentioned missing packages on the underlying operating system, does that mean my install is corrupted or that I have no other alternative than to downgrade to an earlier version? If this is the case which version would you recommend? I have tried LibreElec 7.95, this also gave the same error message. I previously tried OpenEelec version 6.0.3 and kept getting install plugin version 6.0.1 error messages.

    Thanks again

    Use User Defined where you give it both the provider ovpn files and the ovpn file for your home network. You can read about how to use User Defined on the wiki

    The log file doesn't show you trying to connect so is of no help. Get a log with debug switched on of you trying to connect

    It looks like you're using the wrong password. You should double check and then do the reset VPN provider option again (no need to reset the downloaded files). Or maybe Nord have changed their servers again, I'd need to check. Does this happen for all locations or have you only tried the us9 one that you're showing me in the log?

    Hi Zomboided,
    Thanks for the reply
    I've attached the latest logfile where I tried to connect on two separate occasions.
    Not really sure if I'm doing the log file thing properly. I have got the enable debug for just VPN manager checked and then I copied log files to the Homefolder/downloads. From there I went onto the network and selected LibreElec and downloads. Is this the right way of doing it are you getting the information required?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi all,

    I’m having a problem with the VPN Manger not connecting. Currently subscribed to PureVPN and running a fresh install of LibreElec 8.1 kodi 17.1 on a Matricom MX 2 box. I have not installed any addons yet except Zomboided repository and. Vpn manager.
    With the VPN Provider selected PureVPN and username and password entered it does its stuff but I keep getting the "error connecting to VPN something unexpected happened. Retry to check openvpn operation and then check log"
    One of the lines in the openvpn log reads Warning: No server certificate verification method has been enabled. Could this be the problem? Desperately seeking any advice having trawled the forums and Google for hours..

    Any help in the right direction would be most welcome
    Thanks
