vu duo vpn

[green15]

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.

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.

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.

[sonic1]

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

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?
