Hi everyone, First of all, I would like to apologize for my poor english. I'm a french native but will try to make it as clear and understandable as possible. ;) So, a couple of days ago I received my brand new baby: the Vu+ duo, it is a Linux based HDTV Receive similar to the Dreambox. To make the best use of its great potential, I decided to flash the receiver with the latest VIX image which is one of the most stable and effective image on the marketplace. The VIX comes with some pre-installed addons/plugins such as a mediaplayer and some additionnal network features. One of the most interesting feature is the ability to use OpenVPN to securely connect the receiver to the outside world. Of course, it needs some configuration first and you also need to have a subscription to a VPN service but then you can use the manager to setup to autostart,, that's in an ideal world, of course... So far so good...I've got already a subscription to a VPN service (VPNT*NNEL.se) and I use the OpenVPN client for my personal network at home (and BTW I'm very happy with it!). The problem is the OpenVPN addon on the Vix image comes with no documentation at all, there is a just a panel to start/stop OpenVPN and to setup the autostart. So, I did some extensive research on the web and finally found a good tutorial: [url]http://www.cs-kings.biz/showthread.php?143-Sticky-How-to-Setup-OpenVPN-as-a-client-on-E2-Boxes[/url] detailing the procedure for the Dreambox (the procedure is exactly the same for the Vu+ Duo). There is also some additionnal infos here: [url]http://www.sat-universe.com/showthread.php?t=202447[/url] Unfortunately, my VPN provider seems to use a slightly different configuration to connect to the network with OpenVPN. Actually, I've got the certificate file "ca.crt" file and the "*.ovpn" file which is the configuration file they mentioned in the tutorial. I retrieved those 2 files from one of my PC where I already have OpenVPN installed and configured with my VPN service. Based on the tutorial, I renamed the "*.ovpn" to *.conf", I also did the necessary path changes to point to the new ca.crt file location and I finally updoaded those 2 files in the OpenVPN directory on the receiver using FTP. Now, I'm stuck on the user/password part of the tutorial. My VPN gave me with a username /password to connect to the VPN account but they did not provide me with any XXXXX.key and XXXXX.crt file. So, I don't have a clue on how to update the conf file and to make the OpenVPN work on the receiver without those 2 missing files. Guidance from the OpenVPN experts here will be greatly helpful for me.

Hello,

sorry to jump on this thread several years after the first message was posted, but I'm struggling with the same problem as 'johnmalko' and I can't find any guides as to how to edit the config file after changing to a new vpn provider who isn't issuing a key file.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Tom
