Progress..

LibreELEC:~ # grep -i "service.wireguard.manager" /storage/.kodi/temp/kodi.log |
pastebinit
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: paste.libreelec.tv

I filled in user/password. I'll try the 1.4.6-beta.1 and report back.

Skol.

OK. Here's what i get:

sorry... RPI5 running LE 12.2.1 fresh install and Private Internet Access

Again sorry... RPI5 seems to forget wifi password on reboots. A real PIA not to be confused with my service. Here's the link

Thanks again and will do.

I'd like to test out your work and Thank You. I hoped someone might tackle this issue. I have an RPI5 and 4. Is there any specific LE build I need to use or should this work out of the box on LE12.0.2?

Thought I might chime in here. Ongoing exactly the same connection issues on my Pi5 LE12.0.2. 2G or 5 is hit and miss 3M from my router. Just reports failure on the LE Connections. Seems it forgets the passphrase every time too which is a real pain. This likely not an LE issue probably KODi or maybe even RPI. Once connected all is happy till a reboot or shutdown.

It seems this issue has yet again popped up. I upgraded to LE 12.2 X86 legacy not expecting any issues and my Private Internet Access VPN refuses to connect displaying the Deprecated Option thing. Once again I spent the day trying to edit out the ctrl/vrfy section only to find the opvn for my selection file has none. I've once again asked PIA for help and am waiting for a response. Not holding my breath. I downloaded an ovpn file from PIA which does have the big long ctrl/vrfy thing and deleted section as suggested and got a list of new errors. It appears editing the opvn file is not a viable option so open to suggestions.

I struggled with the Chrome cursor as well. I tried some of the Chrome extension most of which didn't work for me either. What I did find is that by changing my Kodi Display resolution resulted in a much more usable Chrome display. I don't fully understand how Chrome uses the Kodi display setup but choosing a small resolution set enlarged the Chrome display and the cursor. The change didn't seem to affect normal Kodi playing of video files so give it whirl.

Thanks for the info but WG is way above my pay grade. I tried for two days to get it working and finally gave up. I got it to almost work as I recall then ran into DNS issues. I'm stuck with LE12.0.2 until this perfected. Private Internet Access has been less than helpful with deprecated errors now with 12.2.

Thanks for the tip. I'm not sure exactly what was going on but I suspect PIA had some issues as of today all my systems began working again. Really strange as X86 systems never had issues but 2 separate Pi5s in different states had same issues same software and would not connect. I resorted to AI to attemp to compile a step by step WireGuard install on the LE 12.0.2 Rpi5. I have not tried yet but looks promising.

LE mods can remove this post as I give up. PIA started working again? No clue as to cause/effect. Three days even resorted to AI for a step by step to install and use WireGuard with PIA and nothing worked. Not as simple as advertised. Not ready for prime time IMHO.

I thought I might share my VPN woes here. On my RPi-5 been running LE 12.02 with no issues. Used Zomboided service.vpn.manager and nothing will work with Private Internet Access on the PI5. Still running fine on LE X86 systems. PIA finally responded with new config files and they are no help. So unless someone has another vpn manager that runs on LE I'll have to try Wireguard. I've spent the day reading about it but still a bit confused on some of the terminology. I found the Wireguard sample config file and am ready to give it a go if someone has a few moments to outline where to start I'd be grateful.

I decided on a TP-link AXE5400 PCIe adapter with external antennas. Could not be more pleased with results. Excellent signal reception and steady 80% increase over my little usb adapter. A bit more expensive but well worth it. And yes OOTB with no issues.

Thanks for info. Much appreciated.

I pieced together an Intel i3 system from left over parts and no easy ethernet. I'm looking to buy a pci-e wifi adapter and curious what to look for LE supported. I have a USB Ac1200M wifi adapter and it's not working well. Any thoughts?

No debate necessary. I've reloaded the RPi5 with LE 12.02 and all is well again. As for Wireguard I'm on a mission to figure it out and make it happen. No spoons needed here just friendly advice.

Just to clarify all LE builds 13.x forward will find the same Openvpn/PIA issue? A real shame as they have been a really good VPN service at a reasonable price for years. I'm trying to understand Wireguard and if read this correctly it could replace OpenVpn and still utilize PIA as a service? Over the years Openvpn has made using a VPN so seamless and easy I'm hoping Wireguard might do the same.

Thanks Chewitt. My brain was very well trained in MSDOS so I have relearn a whole new set of rules and commands.
