Can I use FileZilla. I have enclosed 2 Pics 1 is the config file set up. Any advice.
    Make a file called login.txt with you username and login on seprate lines, eg:

    Code:
    p1234567
    abcdefgh

    Edit the .conf file to include the following instead of just auth-user-pass:

    Code:
    auth-nocache
    auth-user-pass /etc/openvpn/login.txt
    Change the ca ca.crt to the following:

    Code:
    ca /etc/openvpn/ca.crt
    Hopefully this should solve it for you... First problem was, it wasn't being able to login. Secondly, it might not have been able to find the certificate properly...

    Use any FTP Program ie Filezillar
    Log onto your box go to folder etc and make a new folder called openvpn in it etc/openvpn

    You will need these files
    ca.rsa.2048.crt
    crl.rsa.2048.pem
    client.conf
    password.txt

    copy these four files
    into the openvpn folder - restart box - go to system / network / openvpn and start it

    You should be able to d/l the files from your vpn provider and make the password file with a text editor
    Suggest notepad ++ for this.

    open new notepad file and type

    username
    password

    save as password.txt

    Files are here modify xxxx part
    xxxxs://helpdesk.privateinternetaccess.com/hc/en-us/articles/218984968-What-is-the-difference-between-the-OpenVPN-config-files-on-your-website-

    Copy from post 2

    1. goto the client support pages of private internet access site and download the OpenVPN Configuration Files (Default)

    2. from the zip file we need ca.crt crl.pem and any ovpn file

    3. edit the name of the ovpn file to client.conf.

    4. open the client.conf and modify the line "auth-user-pass" so it reads "auth-user-pass password.conf" (without the quotes)

    5. create a password.conf file

    6. go to Private Internet Access site and log into your control panel. Generate a PPTP/L2TP/SOCKS Username and Password using the button within the control panel and add the info to the password.conf file so the username and password are on separate lines.

    7. place all 4 files (ca.crt, crl.pem, client.conf, password.conf) into the openvpn folder on your box (etc/openvpn)

    If you have not got the etc / openvpn folder make one yourself.
    Use FTP program like Filezillar

    Start OpenVPN in setup - Network - Openvpn

    Hi Guys, has anyone tried using Ivacy instead of PIA, I have downloaded the Linix zip from their support site but I only have ca.crt, ca - Copy.crt, Wdc.key files and numerous opvn files prefixed with TCP & UDP and Country names. I have paid for 24 months Ivacy so I would really like to get it working on my Solo2. Any help and advice will be greatly appreciated............

    is there a firewall in the vix image?
    I've set up a client vpn using pia & openvpn client the vpn works fine on the vu+ box
    however i am trying to use the vu+ solo2 as a vpn gateway, in other words use the vu+ local ip as a gateway to route other traffic trough the vpn from other devices.
    I've opened a upd port on the router poiting to the vu+
    i assume the vpn client will need to bridge the network somehow to allow traffic to pass through the vpn.
    config:-
    client
    dev tun
    proto udp
    remote uk-london.privateinternetaccess.com 1198
    resolv-retry infinite
    nobind
    persist-key
    persist-tun
    cipher aes-128-cbc
    auth sha1
    tls-client
    remote-cert-tls server
    auth-user-pass /etc/openvpn/password.txt
    auth-nocache
    comp-lzo
    verb 1
    reneg-sec 0
    crl-verify crl.rsa.2048.pem
    ca ca.rsa.2048.crt
    disable-occ

    9. start the service from the settings - network - openvpn

    10. ssh to your vu+ and check the ip with this command wget -qO- http://ipecho.net/plain;echo

    This should do the trick.
    Hi there,
    I seem to be stuck on instruction 7 regarding "openvpn folder".
    I don't seem to have "openvpn" folder in etc/ of my receiver( TECHNOMATE SOLO SE), do I need to create this folder and upload to etc/ ?

    You need to install openvpn on the box for it to work. Yes you can create your openvpn folder and drop your files in there.
