Note: If you face any issue, please make sure that PPTP Pass through option is enabled on your router/modem. Moreover, you may try again by disabling the Wi-Fi router/modem firewall for the time being. If it works then allow PPTP TCP Port 1723.

OpenELEC / XMBC / KODI doesn’t offer any option to change the OpenVPN port and works on default OpenVPN port 1194.

In order to configure OpenVPN on OpenELEC / XMBC / KODI you need to modify .ovpn file and use WinSCP.

• First download the following:

Download WinSCP
Download OpenVPN Files

• Now create a new text file pass.txton your dekstop and insert VPN Username and password. Username in first line and password in second line.

• Now open downloaded OVPN File and edit the following lines.

1. 1. tls-auth totls-auth /storage/.config/Wdc.key 1
   2. ca ca.crt toca /storage/.config/ca.crt
   3. auth-user-pass toauth-user-pass /storage/.config/pass.txt

• Your OVPN files should look like this, save it.

• Start WinSCP and transfer Ca.crt, WDC.KEY, OVPNFILE and Pass.txt to. config folder
  Default User is root and Password is openelec

• Start WinSCP Open Terminal from commands menu or press Ctrl+T

Insert below command: (replace Your-OVPN-Filename.ovpn with the .ovpn file you use)

openvpn /storage/.config/Your-OVPN-Filename.ovpn

in my case it is Chicago-IL.ovpn

openvpn /storage/.config/Chicago-IL.ovpn

Click Execute and wait for few seconds and you will be connected.

You may verify your IP by using the following command:

curl ifconfig.me

or you may install any browser from the Program repo

Note: If you face any disconnection issue, then we recommend you to delete the auth-nocache parameter from .ovpn configuration file and then re-connect VPN, hopefully this will resolve disconnection issue.
