How can I avoid Kodi mofifies my recent openvpn tap interface??
#1
Im using OpenVPN addon, and everything is working as expected, until i get it working for 20s.

I can see:

1.- From the server side, its logs show me the connectivity is done with no problems.
2.- From the Rpi sice, its logs show me everything is done with no problems.
3.- I can check the routing table in RPI:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
0.0.0.0         192.168.114.141 0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 wlan0
192.168.69.0    0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 tap0
192.168.114.0   0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 wlan0
192.168.114.141 0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 wlan0

Everything is how i wanted, u just want a LAN conectivity with 192.168.69.0/24 ip address
4.- I can stream service with no problem for 15s or so.
5.- Then suddenly, Kodi tries to refresh  the tap interface, modifying my routing table, and making the connectivity get broken:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 tap0
0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         U     0      0        0 tap0
169.254.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 tap0
192.168.69.0    0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 tap0
192.168.114.0   0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 wlan0
192.168.114.141 0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 wlan0

I have tried to modify tap interface settings in the kodi settings, and everything keeps working from this point, until i reboot the rpi... so seems the config is deleted and Kodi tries again to control the tap interface.

Im desperated... any help??

Dave

Sadly no. As mentioned above, we have our VPN Policy (wiki) and we do not support their usage with Kodi as in most cases there is no legitimate need for one.
For those few that are, it's the kind of set-up when the VPN is from a home server, and in such cases you're your own support there.
