OpenVPN Setup guide for most VPN,s

[vicflange]

The DSAYERS VPN script is spot on. My question is, I have had a subscription with Octane VPN for a few years now. Is there anyway to add it to the VPN script so that I can install it onto a Zgemma H92H. Or is there another way. I have tried many guides etc but to no avail, and the script works so well it would be perfect if Octane could be added into it.

Do they have a place to download the configs?

If they do send them to HDD/vpn and set vpn manager to that location

[dsayers]

Yesterday I was thinking of using python to download the configs as some seem to have issues in wget.

I can get this to work but my issue is that I want to have script run and install plugin via opkg install then python download configs then back to script to unzip and change settings

For manual setup VPN Manager by murxer

Install ipk, Save all configs to one folder no need to edit them then Open vpn manager and press menu change All config in one folder to yes

Save directory config set to the location of your config files

Then you can add username and password.

I've not installed a vpn before and am just about to subscribe to IP Vanish, unless you think there is a better option at a similar price.

I've installed your plugin, but don't where I get the configuration files from. I'm assuming I need to create a folder call vpn in the root of the HDD on the e2 box and copy the files into it??

Thanks,

I've just found this guide for a linux installation of IPVanish, so I think these are the configuration files you mentioned in the instructions?

Sorry, me again, this guides is more specific to OPENVPN configuration, so probably the files I need.

Yes if you want to use VPN Manager download configs

Send them to hdd/vpn then add username and password in the plugin or just generate script and the command should install everything for you

Hi,

Are there any logs specific to the VPN Manager. Mine has stopped connecting.

I have verified that the network connection is good. I'm on the latest VIX Image TM-Twin4k.

I've selected different servers from the ipvanish list. No error messages are displayed but the vpn no longer connects. Was fine last night. (I have tested the vpn credentials etc on my laptop, same login, same vpn location connection etc). I'm not aware of any changes since last night.

Thanks,

YO

It's ok, an autostart on another plugin seemed to be breaking the network configuration on my box. It is all good again now.

Thanks for the reply. I've now received a config file from Octane. Which is 'OV Miami - full certs 1.ovpn', and also a link to a page of Gateway Locations. I've tried putting the ovpn file in HDD/vpn and pointing OpenVpn at it using Vpn manager but it doesn't work. I'm obviously doing something very wrong. Any further help gratefully received.

Has the name of file got spaces? If it has remove spaces or use _ instead
