Tutorial How to Install VPN for OpenELEC on Kodi

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
