How to Install a VPN on OpenELEC/LibreELEC Kodi
Works with both OpenELEC & LibreELEC and offers a large number of different VPN providers.
You can add up to 10 separate VPN server locations and cycle through them with the click of a button. You can set certain add-ons not to use a VPN.
If you are running a version of OE/LE that is still using Jarvis use this guide. If you are using a newer version of OE/LE with Krypton or above then scroll further down to the next guide
