    Its working great with TS media on my solo2

    Think you may be missing the password.conf file

    i am struggling to get this to work.
    i followed the instructions in the link but i cant get openvpn to run which leads me to believe there is an issue with the 4 files.
    open vpn just stays at status of stopped in red and wont start when i press the green start button.
    i have created a file and called it password.conf and hav put it as user ******** on one line and pass ******** on the line below.
    in the client.conf the line reads: remote-cert-tls auth-user-pass password.conf

    i can post the full details of the 4 files or maybe theres something obvious i am doing wrong?
    thanks

    Who is your provider? With my provider all I needed to do was transfer 3 files over to etc/openvpn and that was it .

    The password.conf file should contain just the username on one line and the password on the next, nothing else

    I'd like to configure OpenVPN on the VUsolo to connect to a VPN Router in my 2nd home.

    What do I need to do to the PIA files in order to get it to connect to my Router rather than to PIA's service?

    many thanks
