JeffDunhill Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 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. Reference: How to Use the Best VPN on Kodi? 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.

I4rg£8all8ag Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 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 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffDunhill Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 Patches would be painful if it cuts every other hour or day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willieaames Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 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?

davidryan Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 By the recommendation of my friend i installed Ivacy VPN for my kodi box, and its works perfect. Try to use this VPN may be it works for you as well. Read this article for further information https://www.ivacy.com/kodi-vpn/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
