This tutorial will show you how to setup openvpn on your VU+ with Surfshark and should be good for all images, I have tested this on ATV, OBH & PLi.
At first, you will need to get Surfhark service credentials. Those are the credentials, different from the ones that you use to log in to the Surfshark website or app. To find them, go to the login page here and sign in.
Once you log in, go to Devices -> Manual, scroll down to the bottom of the page. You will find your service credentials there.
Login to your Surfshark account and download the configuration files from this page:
You can download either or depending on your needs.
Open the downloaded .ovpn configuration file with your preferred text editor. NotePad++ is free and the best option imo.
Add login.txt string next to auth-user-pass line and save the configuration file as client.conf
Create a new text file login.txt and paste Surfshark service credentials that you have collected in the beginning of this guide.
First line is a generated username and the second line is a generated password.
Connect to your vu+ with telnet and enter the following command:
When setup is complete, reboot the device.
Connect to your device through the FTP or SSH, and create a new folder named openvpn in /etc/ path. After that, upload the client.conf and login.txt files to /etc/openvpn folder.
Start the OpenVPN on the Menu >Setup >System >Network >OpenVPN Setup >Press Green To Start OpenVPN.
