openvpn problems in raspbmc - loke99 - 2014-01-03 I have a Raspberry Pi with raspbmc running XBMC 12.2 Git:20131204-5a51fa8 I want to run XBMC through openvpn. However, after enabling openvpn I don't get any network access anymore through XBMC. This because the network configuration isn't updated. When I do the same thing in Mac OS X I see after a few seconds that the network settings inside XBMC are updated. But this does not happen on the raspberry pi. It seems to me that the connection is ok, I checked with ping and I get connections both with and without openvpn running (a bit slower with the vpn). It is not an option for me to turn off DHCP. So the question is How do I get XBMC (or raspbmc) to refresh its network settings? Any help is greatly appreciated [Edited: Added information about raspbmc below] Ram: 374mb?

RE: openvpn problems in raspbmc - loke99 - 2014-01-06 In the meantime I found that pptp (using pon) is supported by raspbmc, but openvpn isn't(?). I followed the instructions in this thread: In the meantime I found that pptp (using pon) is supported by raspbmc, but openvpn isn't. I followed the instructions in this thread: http://forum.stmlabs.com/printthread.php?tid=1754&page=7 which I repeat here (with a few modifications): Quote:This is the way i configured pptp to work ssh on the raspberry To use from within XBMC, follow the original post in the same thread: http://forum.stmlabs.com/printthread.php?tid=1754&page=1 steps 4-5 with some minor modifications: Quote:4. Now we need to write a couple of simple scripts to run all this stuff. I don't want want to type all this stuff every time I want to pull a VPN and I'm guessing you don't either! works like a charm so far. |
