No.Trace said:

Hi there ...

i installed the VPN Changer (enigma2-plugin-extensions-vpnchanger_1.1.0_all.ipk) but i can't stop the VPN Connection with this PlugIn,
you have to press the red button for Start/Stop the connection ... but when i press the butten it is like i press exit.
But the VPN Connection is on any time ...

Perhaps that could be an "error" from the OpenVix Image ?
Here in that video it works ...

But this is the the OpenATV Image i think.

Hi Guy's
What with the server blocking that's going on and set to continue are any of you brainiacs ( and i mean that in the nicest possible way) thinking about writing a VPN plugin
like the one that's been added to the new Wooshbuild v7 all you have to do is download the plugin enter username and Password for your vpn supplier and bingo you're in
i've been a vix fan for ages and love the work you guy's put in but the blocking issue is a pain specially for the not so techie ones of us
would love to hear your thought's

TIA

its already available.
Menu
Set-up
Network
Utilities
OPEN VPN

thats to start it

if you search there is a good procedure already written you can follow to get it working but you have to subscribe to a VPN service to use it the free ones are not that reliable.
hope this helps

I'm not sure but I think this is the part in the plugin.py that stops starts openvpn with red button maybe one of the vix devs can suss what is needed to change the plugin or Vix python files?

Code:

def keyRed(self):
        if "openvpn" in str(os.listdir("/var/run")):
            os.system("/etc/init.d/openvpn stop")
            self['vpnStatus'].setText("OpenVpn is not Running")
            self.session.open(MessageBox, _("OpneVpn wurde gestoppt!"), MessageBox.TYPE_INFO, timeout=10)
            threading.Thread(target=self.readIP).start()
            try:
                f = open(LOGFILE, "a")
                f.write(time.strftime("%d.%m.%Y %H:%M:%S ") + "OpenVpn Stopping\n")
                f.close()
            except:
                print "Log File Error"
        else:
            os.system("/etc/init.d/openvpn start")
            if "openvpn" in str(os.listdir("/var/run")):
                self['vpnStatus'].setText("OpenVpn is Running")
                self['list'].hide()
                self['vpnLoad'].show()
                self.statusVpn()
                try:
                    f = open(LOGFILE, "a")
                    f.write(time.strftime("%d.%m.%Y %H:%M:%S ") + "OpenVpn is Running\n")
                    f.close()
                except:
                    print "Log File Error"
            else:
                try:
                    f = open(LOGFILE, "a")
                    f.write(time.strftime("%d.%m.%Y %H:%M:%S ") + "OpenVpn Starting Error\n")
                    f.close()
                except:
                    print "Log File Error"
                self['vpnStatus'].setText("OpenVpn is not Running")
                self.session.open(MessageBox, _("OpneVpn konnte nicht gestartet werden!"), MessageBox.TYPE_ERROR, timeout=10)
