Re: Free VPN - WINSCRIBE - Will it work on a Pi3?

Dave.

Cancel that .. it was much easier than I thought and I'm new to this. Everything works perfectly.

But only thanks to your advice to use "sudo" at the beginning of each line.

Thanks again

Thanks ... my mistake.

I'm new to the Pi. Looking at what's involved I may well struggle with getting this to work but I'll give it a go.

Recommendations on Movie Add Ons for Downloading films - Not Streaming

Can any seasoned Pi owners recommend any good movie Addons for downloading films. I'm not so interested in streaming.

Re: Accessing a Pi remotely

Tried this already...

Accessing a Pi remotely

I've just got a Pi so new to this. My Pi is connected to my TV. It has openELEC and Kodi on it. I was wondering if, when the Pi is on, but not connected to the TV, if it's possible to instruct films to download to the Pi using an app and then watch them from the Pi ... via an app? I've found remotes...

Sorry ... I didn't mean to confuse. I'll be using the Pi for accessing movies and other tv ... I've been told that if this is the case then I should use a VPN. Forget about a wireless connection between the Pi and TV ... bad idea. HDMI it is. OpenVPN .. and add on from Brian Hornsby ... thanks ... I...
