      I know this question was asked recently, but I still have trouble installing VPN on my Rpi3.
      I have the Kodi port (v17 Krypton) installed on top of Retropie.

      These are the results of the tests I've made:

      OPENVPN: "This is a console-only addon"

      VPN for OpenELEC: I go to "Setup VPN Provider" followed by "Setup Private Internet Access", but get the error "VPN por OpenELEC error. Check the log for more information" - (I'm not sure how to check the log)

      VPN Manager for OpenVPN: I'm unable to set up the first VPN connection despite having applied the configuration.

      I have an RPi3 running v4.1 of Retropie and v17 of Kodi.

          Thanks for the response. I have manged to make progress thanks to the seo-michael.co.uk link. However, now that I have 5 VPN locations configured, my connectivity is failing me. I won't say more until I've fought for a while longer. It's possible that I overcome this obstacle, too.
