OpenVPN - zGemma

I have been trying to get Nordvpn to work following the instructions in the first post. Just checking I am downloading the correct configuration files in the first place...I do choose the ones from the linux section?

I gave up on trying to get VPN setup on the Zgemma device, brought a GL.int router from amazon set my VPN on that and boom working a treat. Funnily its been more consistent than my Linsys wrt1900AC set up with VPN for the rest of the traffic in the house...
 
Trying to set up VPN and it says feeds are down. Has been for the last few days. Are they down or am I going wrong somewhere?
 
yeah have been getting the same 'feeds are down' message

have reflashed the latest wooshbuild / image

is the a way of grabbing the openvpn plugin via putty?
 
ok i have a fix for this

open putty and connect to your box with the ssh box ticked

enter the following commands:

opkg list | grep vpn

then...

opkg install openvpn

then...

update-rc.d openvpn defaults

it should now work
 
Thanks for that fix teddybloat, it worked for me. I assume there must be a new build of Open ATV with Wooshbuild and this doesn't have Openvpn installed properly as I've not had any problems with setup until last week. The error message I was getting was "Sorry feeds are down for maintenance".
 
Hi
I have a Zgemma and an IPTV provider. channels seem to work but not on weekends, i was told by my provider i need OpenVPN setup. i signed up with https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/ for a VPN and then tried to follow https://www.tech2guides.co.uk/how-to-setup-vpn-on-enigma2-openatv/ guide. The problem is when i log into the privateinternetaccess website i cannt get the .crt or .ovpn file that the guide shows.

Is there an easier way to install Open VPN on Zgemma, is there a plug i can install and then simply load the GUI and enter my VPN Ip username and password.

Any help is appriciated.

Thanks
 
This works fine on Openvix image but can't it get to work on WooshBuild with, can anyone help?
works with privateinternetaccess vpn

Make a file called login.txt with you username and login on seprate lines, eg:

p1234567
abcdefgh


Make a .conf file

client
dev tun
proto udp
remote us-california.privateinternetaccess.com 1198
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
cipher aes-128-cbc
auth sha1
tls-client
remote-cert-tls server
auth-nocache
auth-user-pass /etc/openvpn/login.txt
comp-lzo
verb 1
reneg-sec 0
ca /etc/openvpn/ca.rsa.2048.crt
crl-verify /etc/openvpn/crl.rsa.2048.pem
log /etc/openvpn/openvpn.log


copy the .conf, .txt, .pem and .crt files to /etc/openvpn
Start openvpn from sat. box and that's it!

can you open openvpn on your box?
 
assuming you can open the plugin, some things that might work:

Name your conf file Client.conf

Remove the etc/openvpn.... from the auth-user-pass, .ca and ctrl-verify lines

E.g. auth-user-pass login.txt

I found wooshbuild lacked the tun packages.

connect via putty and use the following commands

cd sbin
modprobe tun
 
Indeed.
I spent a lot of time working out why the OpenVIX vpn did not work.
So many settings on both server and client side configs went into my guide.
I tried a few providers for 1 month service to see if their configs made a difference.
In the end it was a guide on Windows XP PPTP which identified the MSSFIX option!!
Also choosing the right place for your server is important.
Im having trouble setting Zgemma up with OpenVPN, i tried to look for your guide for the MSSFIX but cant fine it. Do you have a link? for your guide. thanks

hmm worked fine for me.

does you openvpn plugin open ok on your box or do you get the 'feeds are down..." message?

try

opkg list | grep vpn

that seemed to unpack some tun files.

i spent most of last night and this morning getting openvpn to work on my box, so i'm not an expert. just repeating what worked for me
 
feeds are down but did that way already
opkg list | grep vpn
openvpn clients.
This was formerly part of the openvpn package.
openvpn - 2.4.3-r0.1 - A full-featured SSL VPN solution via tun device.

root@osmini:~# opkg install openvpn

Configuring openvpn.
Adding system startup for /etc/init.d/openvpn.
Starting openvpn: Client.
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'tun': Exec format error

openvpn runs then it stops when I exit

Monitors should really fix the feeds they been down for while now
