OpenVPN Setup guide for most VPN,s
Hi Ive seen a few threads reguarding OpenVPN on enigma2 so I thought I would show a tut of how I setup Digibit and Nord VPN with VPN Changer
In the first part I will show you how to rename all .ovpn files to .conf and add auth-user-pass/auth-user-pass password.conf you can skip this part if you have already done this. T
The second step will show you how to copy all conf files into subfolders with one command and add password.conf to each sub folder.
Feel free to edit auth.txt to user,txt or whatever you prefer.
On the box create a folder called vpn in hdd
FTP your config files to hdd/vpn
1. using Talnet/putty type
cd /hdd/vpnThis will put putty in hdd/vpn
2.Now to rename all .ovpn files to .conf
Type in talnet/putty
# rename .ovpn to .conf
for x in *.ovpn; do mv "$x" "${x%.ovpn}.conf"; done3.To add auth-user-pass/auth-user-pass auth.txt to each conf file in talnet/putty paste
# Edit all conf files to have auth-user-pass/auth-user-pass auth.txt
find . -name "*.conf" -exec sed -i "s/auth-user-pass/auth-user-pass auth.txt/g" '{}' \;4. Now that is done we can move all configs into sub-folders with the same name
Ensure Talnet is still in hdd/vpn before running this command
Copy and paste in talnet/putty
# Move all files into sub folders
for file in *; do if [[ -f "$file" ]]; then mkdir "${file%.*}" mv "$file" "${file%.*}" fi
done5. Now to add password.conf to each sub folder we need to add auth.txt to tmp with your username and password added.
Now use the following command to copy auth.txt to each sub folder with this command
# copy auth.txt to each sub folder
find /hdd/vpn -type d -exec cp /tmp/auth.txt {} \;Some VPN,s need cert files and other files simply edit the last command (.5) to suit
VPN Changer is linked below and is pretty simple to use, only issue is with OpenVix pressing red to stop/start OpenVPN just exits the plugin this is due to Key Mapping issue so you will need to goto OpenVPN in network to stop OpenaVPN.
If you dont want to use VPN Changer and prefer to drag configs just FTP the configs to vpn (create the vpn folder) and change command 1. to cd /vpn and jsut use commands 2. and 3. Add password.conf to etc/conf and you should just be able to drag any conf file from vpn to etc/openvpn

You can change the country you want the VPN server you want to connect to use the 3 letters 3 Letter Code ie GBR for United Kingdom a list of countries here

Before starting OpenVPN we can run an IP check script this will tell you if the vpn is working and you can test it when changing servers.
The script should have downloaded a plugin called IP Checker.
Goto plugin and you should see IP Checker press ok on the plugin and it should run a simple IP check script
You should get something like this I have removed part of my IP address
Now start openvpn on box
After starting openvpn the above should stay green and say running, You can now go back to plugins and start IP Checker and see if the IP Address has changed
If using Mac
There is a version of Putty for Mac but is not very good.
Open Applications ->Utilities ->
Type the following command telnet 192.168.X.X (change the IP address to the one for the Zgemma/Enigma2 boxes)
Enter the username root (and password if you have set one) and press enter
Then follow the instructions above.
Problem 1,
When enabling OpenVPN I lose internet connection.
Possible Solution
Goto your network settings on box and change DHPC to no then blue button to Edit DNS
Try Google DNS
Nameserver 1 8.8.8.8
Nameserver2 8.8.4.4
