vu duo vpn

Hi Guys,

Long time no post and a long time away form the site but still here.
Hope I am in the right area and haven't posted anything wrong, its been a while.
I have tried to look at putting my PIA vpn onto the vu duo and with no luck.
I can ftp the box no probs, I can get the info form my PIA no probs but I am having a mare trying to create the folder on the box
in the openvpn, I can see the open file in the menu and its currently stopped and the auto start is activated.
I am not sure if files are missing but I wondered if there is an idots guide to make it more simple for guys like me.
I am sorry to say I didn't get the box from Lee.
Any help would be very appreciated, as I say I can do most things to get me close but just failing at the last hurdle.
Kindest regards.

sent you a pm buddy

you create a folder called openvpn in /etc/ which i assumed you already knew?

Hi Guys,
Sorry I missed replies, thank you those that have posted I really appreciate it.
My image is open vix I think that's right.
sonic 1 and Seagate1 and Compass thank you I will try to keep up and check in asap.
cheers guys.

Compass I am looking for the pm so sorry I missed your reply

not to me pm sorry again

With VIX you need to start a telnet session and type "opkg install openvpn"

Hi Sonic1.

Thank you I will have another go, it seems to have openvpn last time I tried to telnet and I just didn't get where to find the folder to put the new files in.
I will give it a go.
Thank you so much again, never asked for much help on here I just managed to read through stuff and understand it but this time its got me.

Cheers.

Hi Sonic1.
Sorry late getting back , I did telnet the box as per your message and the box came up with Package openvpn (2.4.3-r0.1) installed in root is up to date.
root@vuduo2:~# I am totally stuck on this one.
I hope you don't mind me asking if there is any other information to help me get this done.
Thank you.

Try this, I have copied it from the VIX support forum and the OP is excalibre.

First off you'll need an account with PIA

Secondly you'll need this file:-
openvpn.zip (Downloaded from PIA's website)

Extract the contents of the zip, copy the two files *****.crt and *****.pem to a folder named openvpn

next you'll need to choose one of the *****.ovpn (Your choose depends on what country you want to use)

rename that *****.ovpn file to client.conf and open in notepad (TXT Editor)

It will look a bit garbled but edit it to look like this:- "I Used US-California OVPN File"

client
dev tun
proto udp
remote us-california.privateinternetaccess. com 1198
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
cipher aes-128-cbc
auth sha1
tls-client
remote-cert-tls server
auth-user-pass
comp-lzo
verb 1
reneg-sec 0
crl-verify crl.rsa.2048.pem
ca ca.rsa.2048.crt

next you'll need to do a bit more editing so it will look like this:-

client
dev tun
proto udp
remote us-california.privateinternetaccess. com 1198
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
cipher aes-128-cbc
auth sha1
tls-client
remote-cert-tls server
auth-nocache
auth-user-pass /etc/openvpn/password.txt
comp-lzo
verb 1
reneg-sec 0
ca /etc/openvpn/ca.rsa.2048.crt
crl-verify /etc/openvpn/crl.rsa.2048.pem
log /etc/openvpn/openvpn.log

Ok now save that file to the folder openvpn with the other two files earlier.

now create a new txt file called password.txt
log in to your web account with PIA and go to control panel and generate a "PPTP/L2TP/SOCKS Username and Password"
copy that user and password to the password.txt file user on one line and pass on another like this:-

4fd5ge6
4d7ger4

save that to openvpn folder

then save the folder somewhere safe.

install openvpn on your box under menu setup network openvpn
let the box reboot

copy the 4 files in your openvpn folder to your box root/etc/openvpn/

start openvpn from box and you're done.

Hi Sonic1,
Thank you for this but I have found this info before and I managed to make most of this out including getting all the info form my PIA and also the relevant
stuff.
Where I get stuck is this save it to the openvpn folder, where is this folder, I telnet the box see all the information as I communicate with it but how do I find this folder and how do I put the saved folder onto the box, this is where it gets me and I am thinking I am loosing the plot.
Thanks again you are the only one to help me, even with this message and contents I have I still appreciate your time, as i have said been a member a long time and don't remember too many times i have had to ask for help.
So thank you very much.

If the folders not there just create it

Hi Scrupples,

Ok I will give it a go and form here I will just do my best.
happy for this to be closed now.
Thank you Sonic1 and Scrupples for your help.

No need to close it until you are sorted, that way it will help others.

Cheers sonic1.

not done yet still pulling my hair out.

I haven't used vpn in my life but as HULU is banned in my country, Its must for me to buy a vpn. I don't know whether I am asking this question in a right thread or not but can anyone tell me between nordvpn vs expressvpn, which is the best vpn to watch HULU?
