Adding OpenVPN to Kodi is simple and only takes a few minutes. Here’s how:
1. Download the OpenVPN configuration files from your VPN provider. Make sure to save them in a location that you’ll remember.
2. Launch Kodi and go to Add-ons > My add-ons > VPN Manager for OpenVPN.
3. Click on ‘Add new VPN profile’. This will open the settings window for VPN Manager.
4. In the settings window, select ‘Import file…’ from the drop-down menu next to ‘Profile’. Navigate to the folder where you saved the OpenVPN configuration files and select one of them. The other file(s) will be imported automatically depending on which protocol(s) your VPN provider uses (UDP or TCP).
5 Enter your VPN credentials in the ‘Username’ and ‘Password’ fields (these are usually provided by your VPN provider). If you want, you can also change the ‘Connection name’ field to something more descriptive like “My VPN Provider”.
6 Select OK once you’re finished filling out the fields. The new profile should now appear in the list of profiles under ‘Profiles’.
7 To connect to your VPN, simply click on its name in the list of profiles and then click on Connect in the bottom right corner of Kodi

There are two ways to get an OpenVPN config file. The first is to download it from your VPN provider’s website. The second is to generate it yourself using a tool like Algo VPN.
If you download the config file from your VPN provider, make sure that you save it in a safe place. You will need to have this file available every time you want to connect to the VPN.
Generating your own OpenVPN config file is a bit more complicated, but it does give you more control over the settings. If you choose this method, follow the instructions on the Algo VPN site carefully.
Once you have your OpenVPN config file, open it in a text editor and take a look at the contents. There should be four main sections: client, server, ca, and dhcp-options. Each section contains specific settings that relate to that part of the connection process. Familiarize yourself with each setting so that you can make changes if necessary.
Now that you have your OpenVPN configuration file set up, all that’s left is to connect! Make sure that your computer is connected to the internet and then launch the OpenVPN client software. Select “Import profile” from the File menu and locate your config file. Click “Open” and then “Connect”. That’s it! You should now be connected to your VPN network!

OpenVPN is a type of software that allows you to create a secure, private network over the internet. You can use it to access websites and services that are normally blocked by your ISP or government.
To get OpenVPN on Kodi, go to the main screen, then go to Programs > Open the VPN Manager for OpenVPN. Select ‘Add-on Settings’, then follow the setup wizard. In the ‘VPN Provider’ drop-down menu, select IPVanish. Enter your IPVanish username and password in the ‘Username’ and ‘Password’ boxes.
Once you’ve completed the setup process, you’ll be able to access any website or service that you want, without restrictions.
