Install – Standard Package
Installing package “softethervpn” will start all the softethervpnbridge, softethervpnserver and softethervpnclient services and may make the router unresponsive. Prepare and run the following shell script to stop the services and disable from autostart in next reboot.
#!/bin/sh
while :
do
/etc/init.d/softethervpnbridge disable
/etc/init.d/softethervpnserver disable
/etc/init.d/softethervpnclient disable
/etc/init.d/softethervpnbridge stop
/etc/init.d/softethervpnserver stop
/etc/init.d/softethervpnclient stop
sleep 1
done
Install package softethervpn.
Install – For router with 8MB ROM
The pre-compiled package includes all client, bridge and server which can’t fit into router with 8MB ROM. Workaround by installing only softetherbridge.
Step 1: Install dependency packages manually
#!/bin/sh opkg install libc opkg install libpthread opkg install librt opkg install libreadline opkg install libopenssl opkg install libncurses opkg install kmod-tun opkg install zlib
Step 2: Expand the pre-compiled softethervpn package
tar xvfs softethervpn_4.22-9634-1_mips_24kc.ipk
Step 3: Remove softetherclient and softetherserver files from data.tar.gz
gunzip data.tar.gz tar --delete --file data.tar ./usr/libexec/softethervpn/vpnclient tar --delete --file data.tar ./usr/libexec/softethervpn/vpnserver tar --delete --file data.tar ./usr/libexec/softethervpn/vpn_client.config tar --delete --file data.tar ./usr/libexec/softethervpn/vpn_server.config tar --list --file data.tar
Step 4: Upload data.tar to router and extract to root path /
cd /tar xvf /tmp/data.tar
