How To Install VPN Manager for OpenElec Kodi on Raspberry Pi 3, 2, 1, or Zero
After trying a few different add-ons and not feeling satisfied, I came across VPN Manager. This add-on will allow you to choose from a long list of different VPN providers including PIA which I use. The video above is one I created that is no mucking around step-by-step how to for those who are more visual.
Assuming you have already installed OpenElec 6.95.3, the steps below will work with this version. Previous versions have been know to not include OpenVPN which is the back bone of making VPN Manager work.

Step-By-Step Setup
- Download the Zomboided Repository for Kodi
- Navigate in Windows (That’s what I used for this tutorial) to your Raspberry Pi’s IP Address.
- Copy the freshly downloaded Zomboided Repository ZIP file to the Raspberry Pi’s Downloads folder.
- On the Raspberry Pi, go to System, then Settings, then Add-Ons.
- Choose Install from ZIP and navigate to the Downloads folder (Home/Downloads)
- Once installed, go to the Install from Repository option in Add-Ons.
- Under Zomboided Repository, then Services, choose VPN Manager and Install
- Go back to the main Kodi screen and go to Programs.
- Choose VPN Manager and then Add-on Settings.
- Select Wizard. Choose your VPN Service and then input you Username and Password.
- Choose your Encryption Level, then the Profile or VPN you wish to use and you are done!
I’m going to be testing this with LibreElec on the Raspberry Pi also just to make sure it works the same.
As for Kodi 17 and Kodi 18, these two are on my list to check for compatibility.
