Watching Kodi via OpenVPN help!

I have been looking for a way to help a friend with Kodi using OpenVPN. I personally use a premium VPN but can't share it with him so to look for a way, I came with this detail on the blog of my own vpn service:

 

OpenVPN allows users to set-up five separate VPN server locations on Kodi and quickly switch between them. By following these simple steps, you can setup OpenVPN on Kodi.

  • Open Kodi
  • Go to SYSTEM and then File Manager.
  • Click Add Source.
  • Choose None.
  • Type the given address: http://fusion.tvaddons.ag
  • Click done.
  • Select the box that says enter a name for this media device and input the name fusion.
  • Click ok.
  • Go to the Kodi app on your Home Screen.
  • Click System.
  • Go to Add-ons from the pane.
  • Then click install from zip file.
  • Click fusion.
  • Then click XMBC-repos.
  • Select English.
  • Click metalkettle-x.x.x.zip and then wait until the Add-on enabled prompt is shown.
  • Click Install from a repository or Get Helix Add-On.
  • Then click MetalKettles Addon Repository.
  • Go to Program add-ons.
  • Now click OpenVPN.
  • Click Install and wait for the Add-on enabled prompt to show up.
  • Click VPN for OpenELEC.
  • Finally, click Install and wait for the Add-on enabled prompt to show up.

Now that you have installed the appropriate add-ons, it is time to complete the installation by configuring VPN for OpenELEC.

  • Click VPN for OpenELEC.
  • Click Launch.
  • Then click Setup VPN.
  • Choose your desired VPN provider from the list that shows up.
  • Click Continue.
  • Input your VPN username and password.
  • Click OK.
  • Click the back arrow located on the upper left corner.
  • Click Continue VPN.
  • Choose your preferred server from the list that pops up.
  • Wait until the server connects.
  • You will be notified once you have been successfully connected.
  • Then go back and select Check my IP.

Now I just wanna confirm that it doesn't need any premium service or anything does it? I haven't yet done it myself and would like to get some words from you guys about it! Thanks in Advance.

I have a android box, l installed a patched VPN app (called VPN speed) that starts when the box is turned on, works great. Patch means you get premium servers unlimited with selected locations

I installed the kodi add on called "Kodi VPN manager for OpenVPN". When I try to add a server connection to the list I get a message that says along the lines of " Error connecting to VPN. Try again later" The last two lines in the log say, "ERROR: cannot ioci TUNSETTIFF tun: Operation not permitted (errno = 1). Exiting due to fatal error"
I know for certain that my login and password is correctly entered in the vpn manager add on. Whats the fix now?
