Using Windscribe VPN service provide with Kodi

Instruction
1) Download VPN Manager.
  • Download and save the repository here : Repository
  • Install it via Systems/Addons/Install from zip (you can put the repository zip on a network attached drive or USB key)

  • Then install VPN Manager via Systems/Addons/Install from repository/Zomboided Addon repository
    • Reference: https://github.com/Zomboided/service.vpn.manager/wiki/01.-Installation
    2) Install additional prerequisites
    • Hit escape on your keyboard to back out to the main Kodi screen
    • Scroll over to PROGRAMS -> VPN MANAGER FOR OPENVPN
    • Click on ADD-ON SETTINGS
    • Now comes the fun part! Change the VPN Provider to the VPN you use (I use Private Internet Access) and enter in your Username and Password. Don't change anything else.
    • Scroll to the top and move right until you get to DEBUG.
    • Click ENABLE DEBUG FOR JUST VPN MANAGER
    • Make sure USE SUDO WITH OPENVPN AND KILLALL is set to 'default' or 'always'
    • Click 'ALWAYS USE KODI LOG DIRECTORY FOR OPENVPN LOG
    • Scroll back up to the top and left until you get to VPN CONNECTIONS
    • Click FIRST VPN CONNECTION and choose any one of the servers it offers you!
    3) If there was an error saying: “The OpenVPN executable isn’t working. Check the log" then you are in the same place I was in.. but I HAVE THE SOLUTION!

    Exit out of kodi and let your Raspberry Pie load into EmulationStation. Once it is loaded, hit F4 on your keyboard and it will back you out to a command prompt style screen. Type these commands in EXACTLY:
    sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openvpn
sudo apt-get install psmisc

    Load back into Kodi and it should work! You were missing the openVPN files so the kodi app couldn't run.

    We need to wait until Kodi 18 before Windscribe VPN service is fully supported on Raspbery Pi.

    Install windows octoshape plugin at http://www.octoshape.com/files/octosetup.exe Install VLC player at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html . Use the installer so later octoshape can pick it as the preferred player. (Updated 12/26/2010: A dirty way to make sure windows associate all media files to vlc player is to explicitly set in vlc's Tool -> Preferences -> Interface -> Set up associations, select all file types. Then in Octoshape Settings (right click on the Octoshape system tray icon and select Settings), select use "System player") Create a bat file named stream.bat. In Windows XP, type in the bat file.
