VPN (PIA) on Kodi Isengard - bicky - 2015-09-18
I have a Sumvision Cyclone T.V Media Box running Kodi Isengard with Linux base.
Is there any way of configuring a VPN in my case Private internet Access to work on this setup.

I'm assuming it would be similar to OE set up, this is how I did it base on info around the 'net:
Create a directory say vpn-config in /storage/.config/ and a file name say PIA US-CA.config (sample below) in it. Also in this directory is a file name pass.txt contains your username and pass in 2 lines and the ca.crt from PIA website
[global]
Name = PIA US-CA
[provider_openvpn]
Type = openvpn
Name = PIA US-CA
Host = us-california.privateinternetaccess.com
OpenVPN.CACert = /storage/.config/vpn-config/ca.crt
Domain = vpn
advanced = 1
OpenVPN.CompLZO = 1
OpenVPN.AuthUserPass = /storage/.config/vpn-config/pass.txt

Hi Thank's for this - think your assumptions regarding OE set up are not correct.
When I boot up my box I go straight into Kodi - no access to OS - when in Kodi can't see how I could enter your suggested details.
Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Ask the vendor for support.
Edit:
It is not known what kind of linux that box is running, is there ssh access and etc.
However vpn setup is out of the scope of this forum, kodi is an application running on top of an os, OS, networking, VPN setup questions IMO should be directed to the vendor.
