I haven't checked the ipkg list, so bear with me if there is one... but I was curious if there was a VPN server available for this thing? I saw in the source that it's got one there, but when I tried to enable it for compiling it gave a bunch of errors and gave up. I'd love to be able to access my network from work..

i need vpn server :mad:
I can't install openvpn, so i found out other solution that use stunnel for me. i base on stunnel to do many thing that stunnel+squid ..stunnel+telnetd (to login router) ...etc.
That is very bad becase stunnel don't support udp so ..still try other solution which like ssl+socks5. if someone need to do something special, maybe you can try this. :mad:
I just compiled the tun Kernel module from sources and testet it.
I successfully connectect with openvpn clients from linux and mac.
I will try to build an ipk Package from the original openvpn and the kernel-mod
and post it.

Finaly ! I made it. The only thing to do was building the kernel module, and packing it all in one .ipk.
Building the module was the easy part, as I use linux since kernel version 0.99.14.
after searching a while i also found a howto on making ipk files. And here it is:
openvpn-wl700g_2.0.7-1_mipsel.ipk
This is the original openvpn package, i removed the reference to "kernel tun" and include the needed module in /opt/lib/modules.
All you need to do now is
- grab the file from my webspace ( by the way, does anyone have a permanent place for this file)
- install using ipkg install
- configure ( see openvpn.org )
- insmod /opt/lib/modules/tun.o
- start openvpn
Use this on your own risk! it works perfectly for me, but who knew, it might fry your router or turn it into a giant flying toaster ;)

Tnks!
How can I enable mppe?
First of all you need another package for PPTP.
The Point To Point Tunneling Protocol introduced by Microsoft is supported by the linux daemon poptop and the ppptp client for linux.
I tried to build an ipk from source, since i don't know anything about the configuration of this beast, it is up to you out ther to test if this works.
pptpd-wl700g_1.3.0-1_mipsel.ipk
This is for VPNs using openvpn as its base. see www.openvpn.org
if you want to use it with a windows client look for openvpn-gui
for Mac OS X there is also a gui-client called Tunnelblick

okay, Linux newbie here.
I've installed the Custom firmware, and have downloaded "openvpn-wl700g_2.0.7-1_mipsel.ipk", and place it in /shares/MYVOLUME1/MYSHARE1/
I have tried "ipkg install /shares/MYVOLUME1/MYSHARE1/openvpn-wl700g_2.0.7-1_mipsel.ipk" and i receive a "ipkg: invalid magic" error.
I assume there is a glaringly obvious reason that I cant install it, but if someone would be so kind as to point it out to me, it would be greatly appreciated.
You can store it here if you like itQuote:

Sorry, i had moved the file :( . You can try again now.
This "Version" includes the needed module tun.o compiled for the wl700g
the module will be placed in /opt/lib/modules.
So you have to insmod /opt/lib/modules/tun.o
before starting openvpn (perhaps after editing the configs ;) )
cu harald
thank you.
Relatively off topic: has anyone managed to implement a PPTP solution based on the original ASUS firmware ? There is a poptop package in the optware, it installs ok, but there seem to be some problems in its using the pppd server. If anyone interested, I can give some details on my progress in implementing this.
Care to elaborate on what you did to get it setup and started? I presume you start it from rc.localQuote:

"All" you need to do is follow the Instructions/Howto at openvpn.net klick here for OpenVPN-Howto
A great help is a complete installation of openvpn on your PC. You can use openvpngui for windows or just plain opnevpn on linux. In case you have only a a Mac you need to get the linux version and grab the neccessary script from it.
- Simple setup: generate shared key and use that.
- More secure setup: genrate ca and sign certificates for your clients. generate diffie-hellman and tls.key and use the Howto for a template.
it looks difficult, but going step by step it realy isn't that complicated.
