Any insight for the rest of us as to what unblocked you? I followed Brian's instructions to the letter - I can manually start openvpn via SSH using the openvpn /storage/.config/vpn-config/openvpn.conf command and confirmed my new IP address using curl ifconfig.me.
When I try to launch the program in Kodi, I get a "Unable to connect to OpenVPN management interface" error message. After reading this page, I saw Brian mention "there isn't much I can do" if the --management option isn't available in my version of openvpn. The version included with the latest build of OpenELEC for Raspberry Pi 2 does not support this option.
What can I do? The options I've thought of so far:
- Content myself with manually starting and stopping OpenVPN via SSH
- Can I get a different version of the openvpn script on my current version of OpenELEC?
- Can I edit Brian's code to remove the --management option from his script? I removed the flag from /storage/.kodi/addons/script.openvpn/resources/lib/openvpn.py file but nothing changed.
- Can I execute scripts directly from the OpenELEC menu as custom actions? Haven't looked into this option at all.
