I have been at this all day now with no success, I have followed your instructions given in post #22978 and no folder in /usr/bin or anywhere else.
Installing enigma2-plugin-extensions-vpnmanager_1.1.6_all.ipk will give me the openvpn folder but vpnmanager is not available in plugins, this version of vpnmanager is compatible with openpli 8.
Installing NordVPN Connector will give me the openvpn folder but will not download configs and if I place them in the required folder myself the receiver crashes. Seems I will have to stick with the v7 image to run my vpn.

Thanks for your help though.
