I cannot add other providers, Eddie reverts to original options upon startup

[greenclaydog 6]

Staff, i am attempting to use Eddie to help me trial ProtonVPN using the .ovpn files they provided, however when i add the lines of code:

 

<providers>
<OpenVPN title="ProtonVPN" path="C:\Users\User\Downloads\ProtonVPN_config\">
</providers>

 

The client gives me this error

I also tried removing the backslash at the end of the path, but that did not work either. What am i doing wrong?

 

EDIT: also, i did place the code after Eddie and before options.

Seems only way is to add it in the /ovpn path in the installed folder with the latest experimental version however using that method idk how to use servers that require login info.

Yeah, ProtonVPN requires a username and password to be inputted. 

 

Is this error I'm getting a bug? Or am i doing it wrong?

I don't know me and some others are doing it same way and get same error but others it seems to work for and we got no support for it sadly...

I don't understand that - could you explain that a bit please? Put hat in which folder? the .ovpn in the Eddie folder? I need a workaround here badly ...

Sorry about the delay.

The syntax must be:

<providers>
<OpenVPN title="ProtonVPN" path="C:\Users\User\Downloads\ProtonVPN_config\"/>
</providers>

with a backslash before the closing >, and NOT:

<providers>
<OpenVPN title="ProtonVPN" path="C:\Users\User\Downloads\ProtonVPN_config\">
</providers>

It's not your fault, the docs here it's fixed now. Sorry.

 

Anyway, with 2.12 you don't need to do that anymore, simply add a "ovpn" directory inside your data directory.

 

About "Login & password", Eddie right now don't prompt in UI, but you can close Eddie, edit AirVPN.xml, you will find the piece of code "

and change like his:

<OpenVPN title="Custom Profiles 1" path="d:\archive\ovpn1\" login="mylogin" password="mypassword">

It will be improved in next versions, please be patient.

Thanks, adding that backslash seemed to do the trick!

 

Now, for anyone trying to do this, backup your original AirVPN.xml, adding providers changes the code, and if you simply try to delete the providers code the client will completely reset the file on startup.
