Retropie, NordVPN and Kodi

Has anyone had any luck getting NordVPN to work on Retropie/Kodi?

I have a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and I’ve got Retropie with Kodi installed. I try to follow the instructions on the NordVPN website by installing OpenVPN and importing a modified config file. However, whenever I go to run the imported config file I get an error message stating “OpenVPN was unable to connect to the OpenVPN management interface”.

I’ve tried multiple different methods of getting NordVPN on the system but none of them seem to work. Is it even possible?

I believe here is my guide. Should not matter what provider you have

If you have something like this already or that’s what you have. Im at a lost then

Not sure how they told you to install it. But I had hideme vpn working fine with openvpn.

Can’t remember how I got it all installed. I do recall it was a pain and research to get it going.

Sorry I’m not much more help. I didn’t keep it setup for long.

Best to go the WireGuard route it’s way quicker and lighter than open vpn

I was following this guide from their website. It’s simple enough, but as soon as I go to run the imported config, OpenVPN gives the error I described.

I’ve tried googling around but I can’t find any solutions to it or a way to get NordVPN to work with it.
