Nordvpn with kodi Token entry

Kodi Add-ons
1

V very happy new year to you all

I’m very happy with CoreELEC running kodi, but I couldn’t get in to mt Nordvpn account on a laptop and had to change my password. . So the token used in kodi for nordvpn, is no longer valid ..

Entering a 64 character token with the TV remote is a long tedious process.

I can ssh in to the OdroidN2 running CoreELEC and I can access the .kodi/service.vpn.manager/Nordvpv

and using GFTP I can see the ovpn file and the pass.txt, the later is empty.

Is the location of pass.txt where the nordvpn token should go ??? , if so I should be able to SFTP a new token to that location .

thanks

No it is not, I’d like to find the location file for updating still

From ssh stop kodi using;-

systemctl stop kodi

Open this file:-

.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.vpn.manager/settings.xml

Look for this line that contains your old token and replace with your new token:-

<setting id="vpn_token">your_old_token</setting>

Then save the file and restart kodi:-

systemctl start kodi

Nordvpn have changed their authorization method and the kodi vpn manager no loner works with a token.

Connecting to any of Nord’s servers requires credential s, NOT a token, any attempt to use kodis vpn manager deletes pass.txt.

Credentials are on your NordVPN desktop page

A work around is to add in /storage/.config a file autostart.sh

openvpn --config /storage/.kodi/addons/service.vpn.manager/NordVPN/United\ States.ovpn &

My current CorecELEC vesion is Nexus
