VPN server?

[fireflash]

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 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.

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
