VPN in Linux player

[Gdub]

Just curious how VPN setup works in the L1 Linux player. Do you input your VPN login info in settings or is there a way to install a VPN app or?

On my BuzzTV the Classic I simply installed my VPN provider’s app from the Google Play store. Is it more of a manual process on the L1?

Thanks

load your vpn config file onto a stick

select the config and enter your credentials

then select a server location and connect

I spent more time editing the config file than setting it up on the box....lol

I don't seem to be able to crack this. Loaded the config file on to a stick to import on the box, enter my credentials and it just goes back to the VPN Connections screen. If I turn off "Use Credentials" and try to connect, I get an error message that says Not connected to VPN.

you don't load the  whole config at once

you load a server location one at a time

I spent more time editing config than loading it

I don't know if it has been fixed, but there was a UI issue, hat even if you load config, sometimes it doesn't show until after a reboot.  I had played with 4 or 5 server config files and I had issue with them.  After reboot, all the configs showed up and the ones that didn't work before, ended up working.  I did have 2 or 3 configs that didn't and I need to run more tests (and provide the details), but after importing configs, try a reboot (either way, reboot on this box is like 10 seconds  )

so you can see what I'm saying

are you selecting add vpn and the selecting file?

then picking a server location and naming it and save?

Emporium made me aware of some VPN bugs, like the ones mentioned above

They will be fixed in our next update.
