If you didn't want to help, WTF did you bother answering? I am not in the habit of putting up with smart a$$es!

Thank you, chewitt, but my knowledge of Linux is very limited.

How do I test the .ovpn configuration file for the TV Box from the OpenVPN console interface? What command do I use?

I have set up a home VPN on a RPi running Raspbian O/S using OpenVPN software. This box is hard wired to my router. It is working well for several laptops running Windows 10 and a pair of Android phones.

I have another RPi running LibreELEC for KODI that I would like to set up on the VPN. It, too, is hard wired to my router. I have tried implementing BrianHornsby's OpenVPN script, but it seems regardless of what I try, I keep getting the error message

An error has occurred whilst trying to connect to OpenVPN management interface

I don't know if Brian Hornsby's script is strictly for OpenELEC, but assumed it would work for LibreELEC as well.

The Addon is installed on my TV box. I have created the client configuration file and dropped it into the TV box, then modified it as follows:

client

dev tun

proto udp

remote 135.23.134.118 1194

resolv-retry infinite

nobind

persist-key

persist-tun

key-direction 1

remote-cert-tls server

tls-version-min 1.2

verify-x509-name server name

cipher AES-256-CBC

auth SHA256

auth-user-pass /storage/.config/vpn-config/pass.txt

comp-lzo

verb 1

crl-verify /storage/.config/vpn-config/crl.pem

Is there some problem with this configuration? Or is the problem with Brian Hornsby's script not working on LibreELEC for some reason? Is there some other way to get this TV box on my VPN?

Thanks,
