VU Solo BH 1.7.2 (OpenVPN) HideMyAss Pro

Hi All,

This is my first post. My STB has arrived, and dish, first and foremost i'l looking at protecting my identity so need help on this front which is casuing me grief.

OpenVPN Service is started without issues but when running `wget -O - -q What is my ip? - WhatIsMyIp.org | awk '{ print $NF }'` its still show my ISP External IP so it's not connectiing to any VPN service IMO.

So I decided to purchase HMA Pro however I'm finding it quite challening setting up OpenVPN on my STB for HideMyAss Pro connections.

I've setup the user keys,user cert and ca certs but when trying to start openVPN with a specific config it's not reading the configuration correctly.

root@vusolo:/etc/openvpn#

Has anyone got this type of setup working?

So I've managed to get OpenVPN working with a HideMyAss Pro Account on both Vix 2.3 and BH 1.7.2 :-) R E S U L T! :-)

Caveats are that you must have a HMA Pro Account which is 70 Dollars for the year.

The Doc can be found in the guide sections - and should work for all images flavors and STBs.

I did just try and backup images so I could upload them for you but Vix 2.3 for some crap reason throws wobbles and fails - cant be $$$ to look into that just yet.

Hi Phoenix - I was using the Vix built-in tools to do this. I can backup the setting no problems at all - but I can just can backup image to work and in-all honesty I find that it's just as easy to re-flash and then recover using my backed up restore settings with additional folder selection lists. (I include /etc/openvpn) too).

I think it's an issue with the image - as I've reflashed it many times to give it a another go.
