If you’re looking for really helpful information on how to install VPN on LibreELEC then you’ve come to the right place. Of course, LibreELEC is a well-known Kodi OS that operates on Linux, and you might be familiar with their tagline which goes, “Just Enough OS for Kodi.”
LibreELEC is particularly popular with Raspberry Pi device owners, which is a type of credit-card sized computer. It’s mostly used by computer building hobbyists, and LibreELEC runs rather smoothly on the latest Raspberry Pi 3 model. Seeing that LibreELEC operates according to the Linux OS, it’s pretty easy to put in an Open VPN Kodi add-on without any problems.
The purpose of the following guide is to show how to install VPN on LibreELEC while focusing on IPVanish specifically. That’s because IPVanish is arguably the safest, fastest and most reliable VPN that we’ve been using consistently over the years.
Trust us, we’ve tried a LOT of different VPNs over the years to see which one worked the best and IPVanish came on top each and every time, based on the features it comes with.
First of all, IPVanish offers super-fast loading speeds which means you can download and stream content at lightning speeds. With other VPNs we found that they tend to reduce download and streaming speeds considerably due to the amount of processing power that they require. IPVanish is pretty much the only VPN that actually improves our loading speeds.
It’s also worth noting that a lot of VPN companies out there rely on rented servers that they get from third-party providers, whereas IPVanish actually owns its servers. That’s why they can confidently guarantee fast speeds and safety.
We also love the fact that IPVanish offers remote control operation that makes things so much easier. For instance, when running IPVanish on your Android device, you can control its settings from afar using the remote control function which is something that’s missing from other providers.
Not only that, but you can easily hook IPVanish with up to 10 different devices and enjoy ultimate privacy and safety whether you’re browsing through your tablet, PC, laptops or smartphone. It’s ideal for anyone that uses multiple streaming boxes in their home or place of work. That’s why we’re offering this tutorial on how to install VPN on LibreELEC.
