Tunnelbear

Have a subscription for this vpn but can it be used with openelec?

On OpenElEC side you have access only to Kodi (Add-ons) not any other Android Application but on Android Side you have access to all Applications, so you can use TunnelBear on Android Side.
To setup VPN on OpenELEC side please go through the following link:

Hope it helps..

Thanks for that.

Closest I could find right now was https://www.tunnelbear.com/updates/linux_support/
However, openELEC isn't like a normal full Linux distro, so I'm not sure that even with some SSH/heavy modifying it will work, but in case you wanted to delve deeper over the weekend, thought it might be of interest.

Thanks for that.

Hi

You might want to consider contacting official openELEC support for this one

Cheers for that, that's the link I had seen ss and that's what prompted me to ask the question. Will get my head round summat and try n look into it once the new box arrives. Will have to use the android side if openelec doesn't let me use TB.

Might also be worth checking out which other VPN or privacy enabling solution works in openELEC with manual VPN connections. If they have free demos and one month contracts, worth checking out. If it works well in openELEC, set up either manually or with app if smooth, back in Android.
I like Tunnel Bear when I'm in Kazakhstan because of phone, PC, Kindle Fire and DroidBOX use. If I need to use it on a system where I can't configure what I need, I'd check free demos of alt systems.
