hi there,

i read tutorials and wiki about VPN. Damn, they are

pretty hard to understand. So I try real friendly to

ask the following two questions:


1. Can I use VPN on my WRT54G2, that is already running

DDWRT, but probably not the right one.


2. Is there some easier walk-thru installation guide?


I would really be greatful for some help.

Thanks everyone for your help so far.

i managed to update the firmware of the wrt54g2

with other/eko/NEWD/ openvpn version from download

page.


But i suppose to actually run openvpn i will need

at least 100 hours of study as there is not really

a easy step to step tutorial.


By the way if someone reads this.

Does it matter if i run the openvpn software

on the client bridge?

sorry but u will have to understand what u r doing. if u're to lazy to study the really helpfull vpn tutorials around u shouldnt have started such a project.
again sorry...but u will have to use your brain.
we will help u with problems occur but do not do your work!

[BenLuca]

i am sorry!

[Sash]

sorry but vpn is very complex and u will have always problems to get it up and running.

i u have a special problem u r welcome to ask for help but the basic steps u will have to do yourself

Steve Zenone did a nice writeup of getting OpenVPN up and running on dd-wrt. I used a combination of that and some other sources to get mine up and running with changes (key files in jffs, etc.) but didn't document it. I need to do a new setup so I'll see about documenting it better this time and dumping it into the wiki.

[ramzikkj]

First of all thanks for your quick reply.

i am not sure whether its 2MB or less. But i am sure its WRT54G2 ver.1

Thanks in advance.

guys I can tell you this; if you really want your network to work - then don't bother setting a vpn on your little router

what you want to do is get a good Pentium-3/4 pc then install linux and openvpn server

now install openvpn client on every wire / wireless node.

then remove all wep/wpa stuff from your wrt54g, also separate WLAN / LAN - block everything from wireless interface, except to openvpn-server port 1194

done deal...

not yet...use google you'll find plenty docs how-to setup openvpn - if you need help post your question here... I'll answer as much as I can - remember I am no pro...

however my network is working - and that's the I have installed it.

sorry about my English

Hi!!!

I think here it's a solution to enable the protocol 47 on this router, and then, can use the windows vpn client to acces a vpn server inside our lan (or behind) the router..
try this:
