    For everyone seeing the lack of connections following upgrade from a 3.x version, 4.0.6 hopefully fixes this. If you've already experienced the problem, you may need to install and then use Settings/Utilities/Reset VPN provider files to clean up the mess your install is in. This should be a one hit thing with future upgrades working fine.

    Big thanks to crashnz for providing the debug I needed.

    If you see this problem AFTER installing 4.0.6 and resetting the VPN provider files, then get a log with debug switched on as per the first post.

    If you're having other VPN connection problems, move to 4.0.6 and reset the VPN provider files to ensure you're on the latest ovpn files. Then check the Trouble Shooting guide, because that's what I'm going to ask you to do next anyway.

    Does disabling indigo make any difference? After you have, do a settings/utilities/remove vpn provider files as before and also click settings/default and then reboot. If it doesn't make any difference I just need to know, I don't need a log.

    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

    The command needs to be entered on a single line as shown exactly after you've tried to connect. Right now it just looks like it can't find the ovpn and then it has a hissy fit at some randomness typed on the end. When you get it to work, the output will be in /run/openvpn.log

    One of my users for VPN Mgr is seeing SSL certification errors when I try and download the files for the VPN from GitHub. Log is here 16:33:11.484 T:1962651648 NOTICE: special://profile/ is mapped to: special://ma - Pastebin.com and the interesting bit (to me at least) is:

    I noticed he was seeing this outside of my add-on too with what looks to be an update check of some kind (see earlier in the log). He's saying he's using a vanilla LE8 build on an RPi 2 with PIA, which is EXACTLY my configuration, yet I see no SSL errors. Doesn't seem like a pervasive problem as I've only had it reported to me once.

    Any clues on what could be causing this? I found this thread, but I'm clueless as to why someone with exactly the same setup as me is seeing this problem and I'm not
    Kodi 17 Krypton - SSL issues

    Any ideas?

    Seeing/hearing infrequent audio drop out (I'm using passthru HDMI to optical to an amp) with both local and streaming media and when I paid attention to why (for local media to eliminate any network latency), I saw this kinda noise in the log.

    I cleared the cache, restarted and switched on debug, but haven't been able to recreate it since.

    I googled but failed...is there a reason for the ErrorAdjust messages that I should go look at to stop this from coming back? It's only started happening since I upgrade from 7 to 8.

    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

    You connection is timing out. Last time I saw this it was because missing packages on the underlying operating system. You should run openvpn via the command line and verify it works. There are instructions on the wiki in troubleshooting (see first post). I can't see that the addon is doing anything wrong.

    Hi,

    I'm having the same issues as seen by solorize on the 9th. Nothing happens after clicking "switch between location and server views". Is 4.0.3 available yet? I'm not seeing it here: Releases · Zomboided/service.vpn.manager · GitHub

    Cheers

    Install it from my repo, I'll upload it to GitHub when I get a chance


    Hello together,

    is there a way to use two VPN Provider? When I travel it would be nice to have either a VPN for geoblocking or another to my home LAN.
    I'm I right that at the moment I only can have one provider? So when I want to switch between "homeVPN" and "providerVPN" I have to reset and reconfigure the VPN Manager?
    Thanks in advance

    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?
