    I don't know what happened now but it works!

    I have tried many different things in parallel and now after many many hours I have received a different IP address.

    I will come back to you if necessary.

    THANKS

    Afternoon all. I have signed up to Surfshark and copied the vpn username and password from credentials into the generator and copied and pasted into the mac telnet


    I received this message from my mac

    unzip: can't open /hdd/surfsharkvpn2/tmp.zip[.zip]

    mv: can't rename '*.ovpn': No such file or directory


    OpenVPN Configs Downloaded Please Start OpenVPN

    Please enter your choice:


    I then goto into OpenVPN - all config in one folder yes, default dns - yes, openvpn autostart - yes, openvpn resolv - yes, username and password are correct...but cannot see any countries on the openVPN list and dont know if it has been successful.

    Can you try again I've been editing surfsharkvpn script.


    If it doesn't work try the following


    VPN manager plugin


    This VPN manager makes things a bit easier as no need to mess around editing files


    You can download the plugin from here

    [Plugin] VPN Manager

    Install it.


    Now download the config files from your provider and send all config files to HDD/vpn create the vpn folder if needed.


    Now open VPN manager then menu and set the following settings:

    All config in one folder: yes

    Save directory is default hdd/vpn

    Add username and password then exit


    You should be able to choose a country.


    For long username and password in terminal openwebife or putty you can use this command just change USERNAME and PASSWORD with your details


    cd .

    init 4

    sleep 3

    sed -i '$i config.vpnmanager.username=USERNAME' /etc/enigma2/settings

    sed -i '$i config.vpnmanager.password=PASSWORD

    init 3


    Alternatively edit username and password following this post [Plugin] VPN Manager

    Just received this message from telnet. Where will the VPN Manager be located?

    Thanks

    ok, found the VPN manager in pluggins.


    I think I know the problem. I have downloaded the config files from Surfshark but dont know how to add them to the HDD on the enigma box (I am using Macbook and Telnet)

    Menu, plugins, VPN manager. For some reason it's not downloading the configs. Can you download them from here

    Code
    https://my.surfshark.com/vpn/api/v1/server/configurations

    unzip them and send all files within that folder to media/hdd/surfsharkvpn2


    Then try VPN manager

    On terminal try


    cd /hdd/surfsharkvpn2


    Then


    Code
    wget "https://my.surfshark.com/vpn/api/v1/server/configurations" -O /hdd/surfsharkvpn2/tmp.zip; unzip /hdd/surfsharkvpn2/tmp.zip; rm /hdd/surfsharkvpn2/tmp.zip


    If it fails where are you downloading the config files from?

    Thanks gents. I have been in touch with Surfshark and informed them that it shouldnt be that difficult to put a VPN on an enigma box using a mac! They have given me a full refund.


    I will try Nord to see it thats any easier using the code generator.

    There is nothing difficult about it:

    So, you were at fault, not Surfshark, m8.... Next time don't lose your nerves and use DuckDuckGo or come here!


    This is a GREAT forum and all you need is here, already prepared! Some of us made a real effort so this is the case... ;)

    "Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-incurred immaturity. Immaturity is the inability to use one's own understanding without the guidance of another. This immaturity is self-incurred if its cause is not lack of understanding, but lack of resolution and courage to use it without the guidance of another. The motto of enlightenment is therefore: Sapere aude! Have courage to use your own understanding!"

    Yes when switching vpns you should see the IP address changing on the top right hand box

    Morning - no, i get the green ball going round and round and then it stops on full green but do not get any IP address, ping etc.


    I uploaded the config files from the link you provided and then transferred them using Filezilla into the hdd/surfsharkvpn2 and when I rebooted the box this is the screen I had - it looks slightly different to the others screens where countries are actually listed, i.e USA or UK rather than in code.

    Which Password/Username do I use? The one for the vpn control panel access or do I have to generate a PPTP/L2TP/SOCKS Username and Password? Trying to set this up with PIA.
