All files and instruction here for PIA.openvpn.zip
I have openvpn installed on my solo2 but for some reason it just will not start? Any idea what it could be?
I have all the files I need and even a startup script which just runs really quickly and says execution finished.
I am on 5.0.032
Got this from PIA forum:
I thought I'd post this because the info isn't easily available, and actually it's pretty easy if you follow the instructions (thanks Cory Thompson).
1. go to 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 of the ovpn files
3. rename the ovpn file to client.conf.
4. open the client.conf in a text editor and modify the line "auth-user-pass" so it reads "auth-user-pass password.conf" (without the quotes)
5. create a password.conf file (create a text file then rename to password.conf)
6. go to Private Internet Access site and log into your control panel. Click to 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 by themselves on separate lines, eg:
x598723
as89a9b90a
7. create a new folder in your VU/Enigma box in the etc folder and name it openvpn. Then place all 4 files (ca.crt, crl.pem, client.conf, password.conf) into etc/openvpn.
8. reboot your vu+
9. Go to settings>network>services>openvpn and install it then start the OPENVPN service. Choose to autorun if you want.
DONE.
I have been plating around with digibit and there setup is similar. I didnt need to rename to Client.conf I just named the location extension to .conf
What I have done is used putty
On box I created a folder called digibit and dragged all the configs to that folder.
Now I used putty in typedthis will put putty in the digibit folderCode:cd /digibit
Now I used a simple command to rename all the .ovpn files to .conf
Now to add password.txt line to each conf file with one command I usedCode:for x in *.ovpn; do mv "$x" "${x%.ovpn}.conf"; done
I,m not sure if you can still use password.txt with PIA if not just change the command line to auth-user-pass password.confCode:sed -i -e "s/auth-user-pass/auth-user-pass password.txt/g" /digibit /*.conf
Then created a password.txt in etc/openvpn and added my username and password
So now I have all the configs in /digibit I can just drag the server I want to etc/openvpn and start openvpn.
I have seen a nice plugin that you can use to change locations. You need to put your configs on hdd/vpn/(location folder name) then you can easily change VPN,s within the plugin.
I've also manged to do a simple script with my-private-network

Does anyone know how to use PIA on the firestick? I’ve installed the PIA app and it’s says connected to VPN, but it says my current IP address is the same as my original still

Depends what you are using the fire stick for? Netflix and Amazon won’t work through a vpn

You may also want to look into Smart DNS services if you find VPN blocked
same issue with virgin superhub 3 ....... got it working and resolved, all the previous tuts are correct one thing they didn't mention or wasn't a issue
etc/resolv.conf file
edited that to dns server
defualt
nameserver 192.168.4.100
nameserver 192.168.8.100
needs to be changed .......
to open dns addresses
works
Tried numerous times on vu duo, vu solo2 and mutant hd51, without that kept on error logs in open VPN wasn't clearing channels, soon as I edited the resolve.conf file
Cleared everything up on virgin superhub3
