This step-by-step guide will demonstrate how to install VPN on LibreELEC using the Zomboided VPN Manager plugin.
LibreELEC, a fork of Kodi built on the Linux operating system, is known for the tagline, “Just enough OS for Kodi.”
Most individuals prefer utilizing LibreELEC on their Raspberry Pi devices.
The Raspberry Pi, a credit card-sized computer popular among hobbyists for various projects, utilizes LibreELEC efficiently, particularly on the Raspberry Pi 4 model.
Since LibreELEC is based on the Linux Operating System, installing an Open VPN Kodi addon is straightforward and highly effective.
In this guide, I will use IPVanish as my VPN service provider for multiple advantageous reasons.
IPVanish stands out as the fastest VPN service, crucial for streaming large video files on LibreELEC.
Moreover, they uphold a strict no-logs policy, ensuring complete anonymity for all streaming activities.
Additionally, IPVanish VPN seamlessly integrates with LibreELEC, as detailed in the forthcoming tutorial.
You can secure unlimited devices under your IPVanish VPN account, extending protection to all internet-connected devices.
