Does anyone else have this problem? I am using windows 7 with a vpn called PIA and can't watch Kodi with the vpn turned on. I keep getting the dreaded blue screen. Has anyone get a suggestion on how to fix this problem?

I use Kodi on Windows 7 with PIA VPN active and encounter no problems viewing local video files or any of the plug-ins from the official Kodi repository.

I still am having problems with Kodi and using PIA vpn turned on. I keep getting the dreaded blue screen. Below is some of the material on the blue screen:

If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer . If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
Check to make sure any new hardware is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows updates you might need.
If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable any memory BIOS options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and select safe mode.
Technical Information: then there were a bunch of numbers and letters.

initializing disk for crash dump...
Beginning dump of physical memory...

Does any of this information help? I am stumped right now. Thanks to anyone that can help. Don't forget that I am running Windows 7.

You probably have to reinstall the tap driver. Remove PIA completely, download the current win VPN client, and run as admistrator.
As a second notion, once you get that fixed, you may want to use PIA proxy in kodi. Unless of course you are trying to avoid geoblock.

Is PIA vpn the only one that has this problem? If there are others, please let me know. Ok, I ran my vpn as administrator and it works for now but when I click on what country my vpn is connected to, it only says "connected null" and does not give me an option to pick a country. What does null mean and can I not change countries?

Ok, you will probably have to contact PIA support. They are actually really good, and have 24/7 online chat.
Are your ports set correctly? Check these other common problems: https://support.privateinternetaccess.co...arArticles
there are too many variables here and to be honest- not a kodi issue if you can't get the PIA client to work.
Another option would be to setup open vpn, and not use the PIA client. Bit I would resolve the client first.
