BoxeeVPN 2.0 - release

[jcdtv]

i had a little hack around the UI, and changed the god awfull yellow text on START/STOP (please god think of the children!!).

I noticed a few little things missing that i would suggest and that i managed to implement in it fairly easily.

On startup, do a telnet check to see if OpenVPN console is open still, and prompt to stop first/continue or similar.

I change the last tab to a status button, that updates when you start/stop.

I also edited it manualy, so it gives a Red Text/IP if the location is not what you expect. Green if it is. (e.g. want United States for HULU etc) gives red for other locations but green for United States).

I know you said that it will probably not work on Windows, but is there any way of getting it to work with Boxee on Windows 7?

Please help if anyone knows of a solution.

Thanks!

The script dosnt have any win32 detection that i can see so by default it wont work.

However it should be possible, as u can run the OpenVPN connection the same on windows as its being done on linux.

The only thing that stops it working easily is it needs a Windows Build of OpenVPN with ( ./configure --enable-password-save ) , By default its turned off so you cant load the passkey file.

The problem is more to do with UAC and the admin permissions required to update the routing table on Windows. If UAC is disabled, and Boxee is run as an admin account then yes, its very simple.

Building the binary with --enable-password-save is a 10 second job.

This may be two very silly questions - but...

1) Is there link to a build out there for Windows 7 64bit that I can download that has already been compiled with the "--enable-password-save" option?

2) If not, is it possible for me to down load the source and compile it myself? I have Win7 only - I don't have any development tools.

Thanks.

I'm using ibVPN. Does anyone know how can i integrate this vpn service with boxee?

[darcilicious]

What do you mean by "integrate" precisely and are you running Boxee software on a computer or the Boxee Box?
