Hi all, while I’ve found a few threads on VPN setup, including ones saying that it’s now built into OSMC I still can’t work out how to add VPN to my Vero 4k connection.
I’d be very surprised if I’m the only one wanting to use a vpn on my box, but as there isn’t a FAQ guide I assume that this isn’t a working feature for OSMC at the moment?
Has anyone been able to set this up successfully, and if so would you be kind enough to walk me through the process please?
While geo-restriction bypassing was never asked for explicitly, allow me to rephrase. What add-ons are available for Kodi that would even require geo-location? I wasn’t aware Netflix, Amazon Prime or other streaming services had an Kodi add-on where you would have to login with your subscription credentials.
My message was to provide a warning that the subject will not be discussed further on this forum. This is clearly the direction your line of questioning is quickly moving toward. It’s also of topic for this thread. Please don’t attempt to press the point.
I think you’re reading too much into this, but I do agree it’s off-topic for this thread. I will start my own thread regarding streaming services and Kodi.
my ISP seemingly throttles all streaming services so I choose to use a VPN to avoid this and enjoy higher quality streams.
Thanks for the advice, I feel really thick for not getting my head around this but I’ve installed the brian hornsby addon, downloaded and uploaded the config file but having read around I wonder if I need to edit the files. Can’t find a definitive guide on this, and some of the guides appear to be for raspberry pi rather than Vero 4k.
The link to the guide in this thread, thank you. I can login to vero but sudo apt-get update does nothing
Are you sure that your Vero are connected to the Internet?
If I disconnect my Vero from the Internet it comes up with inactivity timeout (-- ping-exit) exiting in the log as well.
sudo apt-get update should give you an output similar to this
Another thing, you seem to have tried both the brian hornsby addon and Zomboided Addon, did uninstall the other before you tried the next one? maybe something is conflicting when both are installed.
I’d recommend you set openvpn “verbosity” level to 3 by including the line verb 3 in the openvpn config file. That should give us a better idea why it’s not connecting.
