Vero 4k and pure vpn

[rkwinkel]

Hello all. I am reading in to this forum and still have a problem with installing pure vpn. There is instruction about open vpn and rasp pi. Since I am rather new with Vero 4k and OSMC it is hard to know if the installation guide for Open VPN and Rasp PI works on my Vero 4k. So I have the following questions and hope you can help me.

First : Can I install pure vpn using Open VPN
Second: Can the installation procedure written here for Open VPN on PI used for OSMC Debion Vero 4k ?
Third: Is there a noob manual to install this on my Vero 4K.

Please help me , since I am a beginner and reallly enjoy the Vero 4k

Hello

You don’t need to install the branded VPN client that your provider supplies. You can just follow the generic OpenVPN instructions.

[rkwinkel]

thank you, but they are written for PI mostly. Since OMSC is running on Debian.
Can I use this link https://www.backtrails.net/2017/04/30/openvpn-setup-for-private-internet-access-pia-vpn-raspberry-pi-3-osmc/

Or would another link be more appropriate.

The instructions there aren’t very good; as they suggest installing extra packages such as NetworkManager. I recommend these instructions: [HOWTO] OSMC/Rasp Pi as OpenVPN client

I try to understand the former, but to be honest it is hard to follow, since it is rather unstructured. Is there a how to install open vpn on OSMC Debian. ?

Well there are many good explainations in that thread.
One explaination that is good for the base setup is

[HOWTO] OSMC/Rasp Pi as OpenVPN client

I’ve got this rough tutorial for a openvpn client that Ive gotten to work, sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install openvpn cd /etc/openvpn add .ovpn file to dir /etc/openvpn Add lines to .ovpn for user/pass sudo sed -i '/auth-user-pass/cauth-user-pass user.txt' *.ovpn sudo nano user.txt In this file create only two lines of text username(your username) password(your password) press crtl+x to save the file then press y and enter. Since the file we have created contains sensitive info…

I am sorry but this is really hard to follow for a noob like me. Also because there are no breaks in the whole line.

Did you click on “[HOWTO] OSMC/Rasp Pi as OpenVPN client” to open the post? It is very clearly structured. Just within my post (where I cross referenced it) it is shown without line breaks.

Just install the VPN manager add-on here

01. Installation

It supports purevpn.

Just enter your VPN details and it does the rest

[rkwinkel]

Thank you., I will try this. Does this work wiht OSMC and Vero 4K ?

[sam_nazarko]

It will work on any OSMC devices; the underlying OS is the same across all devices.

[rkwinkel]

Thank you, I will definitly try it. So do not need to use Putty ? just install and go

I doubt that the addon will install openvpn, you still would need to do that manually as well as psmisc as explained on that webpage.
