How do I set up OpenVPN client to connect to VPN from the box?

[imish]

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

Hi imish,

It would really depend on which router you are using, mine, a Nighthawk R7000, will create the relevant configuration files for you.
You can't just change the PIA config as you will also need the CA certificate from your router and the user key and certificate if you aren't using password authentication.

Thanks for the reply

So not OpenVPN then, I can't really help sorry, PPTP would have probably been the easiest option but it doesn't look like a version is in the feeds. Another option would be to install a router in your first home which supports "IPSec, L2TP, PPTP or SSL VPN"

Seems like you are right.
is there another VPN client that I can use with the VU Solo?

Create the folder yourself.

I'm using ip vanish, I accessed their site and downloaded a zip file. All it contained was reams and reams of remote servers and a certificate. I know I need a password file, I assume that's ok as a .txt file, but I'm not sure if I need any thing else.
