Hello friends.
I have tried for the second time to configure OpenVPN following some youtube tutorials and I have failed again. I ended up with the same mistake I’ve done few months ago, removing openvpn from the system.
Making this mistake, it costs me that connman doesn’t work anymore and I don’t have any internet connection on my Pi3 running OSMC.
The 2nd time I screwed up things I had to reinstall OSMC, but now I am reaching out for your help as I don’t want to reinstall everything.
Removing openvpn (2.4.0-6+deb9u3) ...
dpkg: armv7-network-osmc: dependency problems, but removing anyway as you requested:
rbp2-device-osmc depends on armv7-network-osmc.
Removing armv7-network-osmc (1.7.6) ...
WARNING: You have tried to remove a package that is essential to OSMC's operation.
To undo these changes, run 'sudo apt-get -f install'.
dpkg: error processing package armv7-network-osmc (--remove):

dpkg: armv7-connman-osmc: dependency problems, but removing anyway as you requested:
armv7-network-osmc depends on armv7-connman-osmc (>= 1.2.9-3).
Removing armv7-connman-osmc (1.3.6-2) ...
I still can access it by ssh-ing into it on the local IP but no internet at all.
Later update
I have manage to download manually openvpn and armv7-connman-osmc and upload it onto the Pi, install both packages from terminal. It looks like I have an internet connection if I configure manually the network.
The main issue that still stands is, after I reboot the Pi, I have to do all the configurations again in MyOSMC.
