    i now pay for one, only reason being is because i just set it up and now i dont have to touch it, no messing around changing passwords n dat (just lazyness lol)


    can you please tell me the name of the one you pay for i want to subscribe to it

    I've been following this guide but my box just won't start the VPN when clicking the green button. I've ftp'd the files over exactly as written :/ I'm using hidemyass. Has anyone experienced this?

    Hi I downloaded the files from CyberGhost to use on (openvix) as per their instructions but this step:


    ''To be able to log in automatically, save your user name and password in a file called ‘pas.key’. For this you need to have access to a Linux computer where you type the following command in a terminal window:


    sudo nano pas.key


    Type in your credentials (one in each line):


    User name (the user name created in step 1)
    Password (the password created in step 1)


    e. g.:


    NSANSANSA


    ****************


    Save your changes with ‘CTRL+O’ and leave the nano editor via ‘CTRL+X’


    Next open the configuration file ‘CyberGhost.conf’ by typing


    sudo nano CyberGhost.conf


    Extend the line ‘auth-user-pass’ …


    [...]
    auth-user-pass
    [...]


    … with the path to your credentials file:


    [...]
    auth-user-pass /etc/openvpn/pas.key
    [...]


    Copy both files (‘CyberGhost.conf’ and 'pas.key') along with all certificate and key files from the downloaded ZIP file into the OpenVPN folder ('etc/openvpn')on your VU''
    I tried the IP command but I get error message?
    I don't have a linux computer so I used Notepad++ to create and save the files but it doesn't seem to work.
    If I press green it says it is active but as soon i exit menu and return to check it is back inactive and if if try to see log there is nothing?
    i know this is a bit different from your post but do know how to fix.
    thanks

    Hi Guys


    I have tried the guide in the first post by our friend Paddyh several times, even printed it (again and again) and I really don't know where I am going wrong.
    Went through it again and again and again but that red STOPPED button does not change.
    b-t-w, I am using the freevpnme on my VU+Solo2 with latest BH image but still cannot get the red to green :(
    I have even tried it with OpenATV 5.3 but still no joy.


    I am really frustrated and dont know where I am going wrong. Looks like I am tooo old to get this fixed. Btw, I am in my fifties.
    Can someone please give me a sample freevpn conf file with this info.

    OpenVPN


    Username: freevpnme
    Password: 0jnyTti8E
    TCP 80, 443
    UDP 53, 40000
    Unlimited Bandwidth
    Torrents Allowed
    No Logging



    Thanks & K/Rgds


    I looked at this service and it appears the include all the files certificates etc in 1 file so you can ignore making ca certificate and others.
    Secondly there 4 files 2 tcp and 2 udp and I am guessing you only need 1 of of them.
    So bearing this in mind:
    Create a login/pass file using txt editor like Note++ just put user name in first line and the password in second line and save as eg login.conf ).
    Choose 1 of the 4 files you downloaded from freevpnme e.g upd40000 or any other 1.
    Open the file with note++ and look for this line
    Auth-user-pass


    make it :
    auth user pass /etc/openvpn/login.conf
    Save this file (1 of 4 downloaded sau udp40000) as freevpnme.conf
    Transfer these 2 file to you receiver
    I have tested this today and it works fine.

    Hi - great thread! I follow instructions but I do not see the openvpn folder in the etc folder. I then went to Telnet and typed 'opkg install openvpn' but this is unsuccessful.


    When I go to the OpenVPN menu on the receiver it asks me do I want to install. I click yes, then it lets me in, but autostart is disabled, and status is stopped. When I try to start either of these nothing happens.


    I'm a bit stuck and would appreciate any help.


    Thanks

    Use this telnet:
    opkg openvpn install


    The package should install, or box return "Open VPN already installed"
    If you dont see any openvpn folder on /etc, just create a new folder called openvpn, and place your files there.



    To start VPN use this telnet command:
    /etc/init.d/openvpn start


    To do it as automated operation use this telnet coomand:
    update-rc.d openvpn defaults



    Made it as you described, but when i execute:
    /etc/init.d/openvpn start


    Box replies with:
    starting openvpn: freevpnme FAILED -> login.


    My login.conf file has only this lines:


    freevpnme
    Bp8j5Im6hZ


    Seems like this is a bug, and VPN actually start... but how can i test if is working or not, is there any plugin available?
    Im using DM900 with DreamElite image.

    opkg openvpn install - brings up a massive long message in telnet giving lots of alternative options.


    /etc/init.d/openvpn start - says not found


    /etc/init.d/openvpn stop - says not found


    update-rc.d openvpn defaults - says file does not exist


    Your distribution does not have openvpn, thats the reason you cannot use the command opkg openvpn install.
    So, you cannot use the other commands.
    You should first find a way to install openvpn - Look here:

    I am have been reading your guide on how to set a VPN. I am using a Duo 2. I have a VPN Server, my provider sent me the ca.crt certificate, the open VPN Config files and I also have my user name and password. what are these.

    <<cert>> and the <<key>>.

    Sorry to ask the same question. I am using Openvix 5 on Duo2. I have OpenVpn set on my box .I have a VPN provider Digibit, they have sent me the following ca.crt, openvpn config files and I have my user and pass word. I have tried using Telnet via the Vu+ Control Centre, but it say options error: In CMD-LINE. Can I use FileZilla. I have enclosed 2 Pics 1 is the config file set up. Any advice.
