VPN Manager for OpenVPN
NOTE : Kodi 19 Matrix version here in pre-release
This add-on is a service for Kodi that allows the user to vary the level of privacy required by automatically switching between different VPN profiles/locations.
It can connect to a VPN on Kodi startup (on OS boot for LibreELEC installs) and then maintain the VPN connection based on the add-ons being used. The perceived location of the externally visible IP address is displayed upon connection.
A number of VPN providers are directly supported, or the user can add their own VPN profiles.
Control of the VPN is also possible via a remote control button or hot key, allowing the user to manually cycle between connections.
Full instructions can be found on the GitHub wiki for this project
OpenVPN Setup Tutorial for Kodi (with OpenELEC/LibreELEC 5—8)
Kodi is a media player software that allows you to play and view both online streaming media and common digital media from a local storage. Being highly customizable, Kodi provides great opportunities for installing additional software. VPNs are not an exception, moreover taking into account their ability to unlock geo-restricted content, they are must-have. So why should you miss such a chance?
This tutorial introduces you a step-by-step instruction on how to configure KeepSolid VPN Unlimited on your Kodi (if you don’t have our VPN service already installed on your device or don’t want to do so for some reasons).
The first preparatory step would be to create OpenVPN configuration files. In this regard, please follow a few simple steps described in our tutorial.
Secondly, download the VPN Manager for the OpenVPN plug-in at https://github.com/Zomboided/service.vpn.manager/releases.
The needed file name is service.vpn.manager-X.X.X.zip where X.X.X is the version of software.
Note: This is a Kodi add-on designed especially to make it easy to configure and manage VPN connections from within Kodi.
In order to directly upload files on the device running Kodi, you need to log in to it using the SFTP protocol. In this regard:
Run the application, go to File > Server manager, and set up a new connection.
For Server, use the IP address of your Kodi device.
This can be found in the System settings (the gear icon) > System information > Summary > IP Address.
For Protocol, select SFTP.
For Connection type, set Normal.
Unless you have changed the login credentials previously, your Username is root and Password is openelec for OpenELEC, and libreelec for LibreELEC distributions respectively.
Press Connect.
You will see the server filesystem contents on the right panel.
It is recommended to create a new folder and copy there all the files that are needed.
Now, when the preparations are over, please follow the next steps to configure KeepSolid VPN Unlimited on your Kodi.
1. Open the Kodi interface and navigate to Add-ons > My add-ons.
