OpenVPN Setup guide for most VPN,s

**dsayers** · 24-02-18, 13:06

Hi Ive seen a few threads reguarding OpenVPN on enigma2 so I thought I would show a tut of how I setup Digibit and Nord VPN with VPN Changer

In the first part I will show you how to rename all .ovpn files to .conf and add auth-user-pass/auth-user-pass password.conf you can skip this part if you have already done this. The second step will show you how to copy all conf files into subfolders with one command and add password.conf to each sub folder.

Feel free to edit password.conf to user,txt or whatever you prefer.

On the box create a folder called vpn in hdd

FTP your config files to hdd/vpn

1. using Talnet/putty type

Code:

cd /hdd/vpn

This will put putty in hdd/vpn

2.Now to rename all .ovpn files to .conf

Type in talnet/putty

Code:

# rename .ovpn to .conf
for x in *.ovpn; do mv "$x" "${x%.ovpn}.conf"; done

3. To add auth-user-pass/auth-user-pass password.conf to each conf file in talnet/putty paste

Code:

# Edit all conf files to have auth-user-pass/auth-user-pass password.conf
find . -name "*.conf" -exec sed -i "s/auth-user-pass/auth-user-pass password.conf/g" '{}' \;

4. Now that is done we can move all configs into subfolders with the same name

Ensure Talnet is still in hdd/vpn before running this command

Copy and paste in talnet/putty

Code:

# Move all files into sub folders
for file in *; do
  if [[ -f "$file" ]]; then
    mkdir "${file%.*}"
    mv "$file" "${file%.*}"
  fi
done

5. Now to add password.conf to each sub folder we need to add password.conf to tmp with your username and password added.

Now use the following command to copy password.conf to each sub folder with this command

Code:

# copy password.conf to each sub folder
find /hdd/vpn -type d -exec cp /tmp/password.conf {} \;

Some VPN,s need cert files and other files simply edit the last command (.5) to suit

VPN Changer attached and is pretty simple to use, only issue is with OpenVix pressing red to stop/start OpenVPN just exits the plugin this is due to Key Mapping issue so you will need to goto OpenVPN in network to stop OpenaVPN.

If you dont want to use VPN Changer and prefer to drag configs just FTP the configs to vpn (create the vpn folder) and change command 1. to cd /vpn and jsut use commands 2. and 3. Add password.conf to etc/conf and you should just be able to drag any conf file from vpn to etc/openvpn

Thanks, Just could do with somebody changing the VPN Changer plugin.py from German to English. Ive seen a modded .py but it crashes when trying to change server if configs are wrong

Just a heads up that xtream editor have added the option to implement a vpn with their services, with noting of using a vpn so you can watch via iptv

Anyone fancy testing a new VPN script?

It should download the configs for your VPN to HDD/VPN name then you use VPN changer to switch servers, VPN,s added so for:

Nord VPN
IP Vanish
Digibit

Simply copy this command and past in notepad and edit line one and two

Code:

USERNAME='UUUU'
PASSWORD='PPPP'
###############################################################
# Standard Config
# If you change anything below this line, it probably wont 
# be able to connect to your VPN.
################################################################
#!/bin/bash
# Config Example
wget -O VPN.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/davesayers2014/OpenVPN/master/Main%20Scripts/VPN.sh && sed -i "s/UUUU/$USERNAME/g" VPN.sh && sed -i "s/PPPP/$PASSWORD/g" VPN.sh && chmod +x VPN.sh && ./VPN.sh

Change UUUU with your username between ' '

Example: 'dsayers'

Change PPPP with your password between ' '

Example: '12ght'

Copy and paste the script in putty and hit enter you should now have the option for what VPn you want to use:

1) Nord VPN
2) IP Vanish
3) Digibit
4) Quit

Choose your option and hit Enter this should then download the configs and once finished it will say OpenVPN Configs downloaded Please Start OpenVPN.

You will be asked to enter your choice again but you can ignore this.

Reboot box and goto plugins, VPN Changer and choose a country.

A little update on this I have managed to create a OpenVPN Script generator

Users can now visit

Code:

http://e2openvpn2.dx.am/OpenVPN/

Enter Username and password this will generate a script

Copy and paste the script in putty and hit enter you should now have the option for what VPn you want to use:

1) Nord VPN
2) IP Vanish
3) Digibit
4) PureVPN
5) Quit

Choose your option and hit Enter this should then download the configs and once finished it will say OpenVPN Configs downloaded Please Start OpenVPN.

You will be asked to enter your choice again but you can ignore this.

Reboot box and goto plugins, VPN Changer and choose a country.

great work on the script. Will you be adding ExpressVPN to the list at all?

**deyanc** · 01-11-18, 14:29

Anyone know how to add automatically the line "block-outside-dns" in to all .conf files with every change of the server?

**sticky7** · 07-11-18, 20:50

Hi, trying to set this up on xtrend et8000 with a digibit account. Script runs but can't get the VPN to work. The only files in each server folder is the auth.txt and the xxx_server_xxx.config files, should there not be more?

Any help appreciated

No that should be it. Check username and password in auth.txt to see if there correct.

Probably by modifying step 3 Google add new line in script. Try adding to 1 file then modify command in step 3

Is that after choosing a number or straight after pasting the script?
