ONLY WORKING FOR PIA AT THE MOMENT
As an OpenELEC user you may have tried one of the convoluted methods involved in setting up a VPN on your OpenELEC device. This new add-on from MetalKettle means you now have the easiest possible method of setting up your VPN.
This add-on is available through MK’s repo so you can grab it from the program add-ons section. If you don’t have his repo installed – you probably do – then use the guide below to install the repo and add-on.
Setup is very easy. MK has said he will be working on this and will hopefully get the other providers – Vyper & IPVanish – working as well.
So if you are a PIA and OpenELEC user then this is definitely an add-on for you to install.
To Install:
- Open Kodi
- Select SYSTEM > File Manager
- Select Add Source
- Select None
- Type the following EXACTLY http://fusion.tvaddons.ag and select Done
