Guidance set up Nord VPN (old Edison OS mini - Vix team)

[cagster]

Hi

I have been trying to get IPTV set up again on old Edison OS mini - running Vix team.

[I havent used this for years so my knowledge is limited and rusty but eventually after giving up on SULS bouquet maker (which used to work on it) - i managed to download Jedi Maker Xtreme from Github (and even though all the Vix plugins and code such as python are old and out of date) got the bouquets working.]

I need some advise on getting VPN running. I installed openvpn - using enigma2-plugin-extensions-vpnmanager_1.1.4_all.ipk. Openvpn is installed and i see it with no sources (as expected) and I see IPchecker plugin

I tried to run the VPN configuration script (below) in putty to configure my Nord VPN but i get the following error when running it every time "./VPN.sh: line 15: syntax error: unexpected "(" ".

Can anyone advise on likely cause and how to resolve ? or an altenative way for me to get this up ?

ALSO - I dont see any VPNmanager application - am i correct in thinking that the install of enigma2-plugin-extensions-vpnmanager_1.1.4_all.ipk should have installed it ?

*Dayers vpn config script*.....

"wget -O VPN.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/davesayers2014/OpenVPN/PY3/Main Scripts/VPN.sh &> /dev/null 2>&1 && sed -i 's/UUUU/cagater2'/g VPN.sh && sed -i "s/PPPP/Parexel123/g" VPN.sh && chmod +x VPN.sh && ./VPN.sh"

Appreciate any help or advice

I know, its a secondary device . It works suprising well on most 1080 and 720p streams (at times when a VPN isnt required) which is why id lke to get a VPN set up - but clearly doesn't support some of the audio codecs as on a few channels there is no audio or its "choppy" - something else for me to look at briefly once VPN working so any help there appreciated - but as avsecondary device i wont be spending days on it :-)

I don't have access to Nord VPN so I can't fully test it but I don't receive an error when executing the script

I added dummy credentials here

https://e2openvpn.com/OpenVPN_Generator/

This generated the script for me to run in putty. I ran the script and chose Nord VPN from the options this downloaded the configs for Nord VPN and installed VPN manager.

Hi dsayers2014 thats exactly what i used - i can see plenty of people have used it - i really cannot understand why when i run the script i get that error - ill take some screenshots later and update. I was wondering if the issue could be due to not seeing the VPNManager application in the plugins on the box - i dont think it installed despite running the enigma2-plugin-extensions-vpnmanager_1.1.4_all.ipk - is that likely to the problem ?

The script should install VPN manager for you

Hi - thanks for you help

The good news I have got VPN Manager installed - looking through the error logs there was a number of lpk missing that the script couldnt download from Openviz whixh i had to trawl the net for an manually install each.

The back news

1. The VPN manager lists loads of nord udp servers but regardless of what i select there is no connection - the user name and password is correct and is in the /etc/openvpn/pass.file. I have looked at the Openvpn log and the folllowing is repeatedly logged

Any ideas what the above means and what i need to try ?


2. Something has broken the wireless lan on the box which has no connectivity and cannot find or connected to wireless router. When i run IP checker I get "Execution progress ip Assess wget:bad address 'ipecho.net' Execution finished. Does anyone know how i could resolve - do i need to re- install any drivers ? I am for now connecting with LAN (not ideal)

Apreciate any help - i have added attachements
