[Plugin] VPN Manager

And on the note of VPNs, you should all read up on PIA being bought out by Kape Technologies. :thumbup:

i cant install it

openpli 7 formuler f3

i have file .ovpn please help me to run it

the plugin is installed now i want to know how to run file .ovpn

with this do you need the auth.txt in the sub folders aswel or just conf and cert files?

PLEASE SIR ENIGMA COULD U EXPLAIN HOW I USE IT IT DOESN'T WORK

OK, let me try...

1) Install the plugin manually, as per usual and restart E2...

2) Create a folder on a USB stick/SSD/mSD card and name it whatever you want, say openvpn, so it would be here, as an example: /media/usb/openvpn

3) Create subfolders in that folder and name them accordingly, say London, Berlin, Manchester, Sao, Frankfurt, NYC etc. - for example: /media/usb/openvpn/London (or whatever you want to have as an option, create as many as you need)

4) Choose .udp.ovpn files given to you by your VPN provider and move them to your newly created folders, one for each server/city into its specific folder

5) Now, go to MENU > Plugins > VPN Manager > MENU > change the following settings:

-Save directory config > find the main openvpn folder and press SAVE button (say, /media/usb/openvpn/)

-OpenVPN autostart > yes

-VPN username > (Surfshark is specific here, you need to put in the ones they gave you for manual settings)

-VPN password > (as above)

If Surfshark username and password are too difficult to do via RCU, then use FileZilla Client to FTP to your box and go to:

/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/VpnManager

Right click on plugin.py and choose View/Edit (use Notepad++ for editing).

Find lines 61 and 62 and copy and paste your username and password where you see XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX below:

config.vpnmanager.username = ConfigText(default="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", fixed_size=False)
config.vpnmanager.password = ConfigText(default="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", fixed_size=False)

Save and exit. Confirm the change, if asked. Close FZC. Restart E2.

6) Open VPN Manager and note your normal IP address, internet provider, speed etc.

Now, choose which server you want to be on and press OK button on your RCU.

If you wait a bit, after connecting to a VPN server, you will be able to see your new and OpenVPN encrypted IP address, speed etc.

Alternatively, in PurE2 go to MENU > pManager > Network > General network info > see if you are on a VPN... (in Surfshark you have to have 10.x.x.x address, amongst others...)

Also in PurE2, you could check your speed using MENU > FNC PurE2 plugins > Speedtest-FNC > OK, then OK again...

Voila!:cool1:

gorski , thanks for the tutorial :thumbup:just wanted to let you know that from,

Version 1.0.8

- Read access data from file

- All configs can now be saved in a folder

so no need for separate folders now :)

Cool, thanx, m8 - but it's kinda good to have a simple, straight name... ;)

And a good thing about it is that you don't have to get into the folder, just press OK on a folder once and it's pretty fast...

Just to let you know, this actually works really well!!!!

Firstly, it is not difficult to setup for anyone!

Secondly, It gives one options, as it's possible to easily and quickly change the VPN, using only RCU, with a few clicks of a button...

Thirdly, it gives additional information, so it's rather cool in more ways than one!

Example: if one wants to use, say, Filme-FNC in PurE2 but one is outside Germany, by using a German VPN server, then switch to Filmler-FNC by changing to a Balkanic (for instance, Croat) VPN server - it's all very practical, fast and simple! For me, living in the UK, I must use VPN for YIFY-FNC, for instance, so then I must change quickly to the fastest UK server, for higher resolutions streams. And it simply works brilliantly!

Great work, murxer! :)

I was loosing my mind on how to get it to work with all config files in one folder then realised that you need to set it when pressing menu on the plugin lol

You can also edit username and password by command line something like

cd .
init 4
sleep 3
sed -i '$i config.vpnmanager.directory=/hdd/openvpn/' /etc/enigma2/settings
sed -i '$i config.vpnmanager.username=USERNAME' /etc/enigma2/settings
sed -i '$i config.vpnmanager.password=PASSWORD' /etc/enigma2/settings
init 3

I stll cannot connect to any UK servers using IvacyVPN (never Have done ) other country's do work well the majority I have just opened up a ticket with them see if they can update the OpenVPN-Configs.

Nothing to do with your script.

Mercifully, SurfShark is OK with it all... ;)
