Re: OpenVPN brocken

I’m nearly back to square one after the fresh install. Tried again to use the terminal solution but failed, although I have managed to get the first server to run without a leak. It’s after changing servers that the fun begins, time out, wrong location and leaks. Also, even when the DNS site shows t...

Re: OpenVPN brocken

Tried the free VPN and it had problems connecting also. Like you say, not knowing what changes were made complicates matters. Putting off, but looking it's more and more that I may need a fresh install. Since it’s working of sorts, I may just stick with it and wait for Mint 19, It isn't a major prob...

Re: OpenVPN brocken

You got the red highlight, because your DNS IP addresses were not properly formatted, Tried again, even copied and pasted you code but still the red highlight. Irritatingly I just really needed the VPN for Kodi with the TV's and could do without it on the computer. Then I've found out that the app ...

Re: OpenVPN brocken

I updated from 17 to 18 but as far as the terminal is concerned, i'm hopeless, doesn't help reading characters back to front. I believe this is the information you need, looks like the OpenVPN is out of date so I'll start with that. Just one query, Is it possible to install the latest openvpn on 17....
