I have the same issue. I have tried with my NordVPN account, my Surfshark account and my Private Internet Access account. In all, I get a similar error with Auth username problem.

I use Kodi with LibreElec 12.2.1 on a Raspberry Pi 5.aarch64

Can you help me?

I'm sorry, but I can't help you. My add-on has been malfunctioning since the beginning of November.
I use the same version of kodi libreelec on rpi4

Same here with PIA. This addon no longer works with RPi4 LibreELEC 12.2.1. Downgrading to 12.0 makes it work again.

[Picabueyes]

I downgraded to version 12.0 and it still doesn't work, I get the same error

Hi - I have the same issue that I cannot connect to OpenVPN using a NordVPN token. I would appreciate it, if someone could fix this issue. Thank you!
