How to install OpenVPN 2.1-rc20 on PPC8544

[joechong]

Hi Dino,
Appreciate the prompt response. Here are the information you required:

DS model: CS407e
Processor Type: Freescale mpc8241 PPC Processor, SATA, 64-bit Memory Bus, 64MB of RAM (got this info from http://forum.synology.com/wiki/index.ph ... _CPU_model)
Linux version of the kernel: 2.6.24

One other thing, I can't seem to locate the module-init-tools pkg within my ipkg installation. The only thing close to it I found is modutils. Are they the same? If not, how can I separately download the module-init-tools pkg that you've mentioned as part of the pre-req in the installation?

I need the following info:

* DS model: ds..../cs....
* Exact processor type: cat /proc/cpuinfo
* Linux version of the kernel: uname -r

You can give it a try: viewtopic.php?f=27&t=18881#p77580

I guess the modutils are the same as module-init-tools. You can check this after installation that /opt/sbin/insmod exists.

Hi I have a DS209+11 and I am trying to install Open VPN, I am haveing a problem with this section,

Install the sample server config files:
cd /volume1/public/openvpn/openvpn-sample-config-server
./install.sh

When I run this I get the following message;

Home1> cd /volume1/public/openvpn/openvpn-sample-config-server
Home1> ./install.sh
install: cannot stat `openvpn.conf': No such file or directory

I have looked in the openvpn-sample-config-server folder and there is no openvpn.conf file.

Am I doing something wrong?

[dino]

you can safely ignore the message, openvpn.conf is not needed. server.conf is needed which should be copied correctly

[molchew]

Thanks, I have completed the insallation and run ifconfig, see below. in the tun0 section everything is 0 bytes, is this correct as your example shows traffic.

[dino]

did you already made a vpn connection from the internet to your synology? if not, it's normal that there's no traffic

Anyway, don't forget to setup a new route on your Router or DSL/Cable modem if you want to access your internal subnet. In you case it would be:

subnet 10.8.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.2.3

Hallo Dino,

Now from this site, when I try to install:

cd /volume1/public/openvpn/openvpn-sample-config-server
./install.sh

Then it returns with install: cannot stat `openvpn.conf': No such file or directory while the file is in /opt/etc/openvpn ???

What I noticed is that in your install.sh file you write it in capitel letters could that be the problem ?

Thnx in advance,

André

[dino]

don't mind that error, you don't need openvpn.conf. the file openvpn needs is server.conf which should be copied correctly. you can safely ignore this error.

[Fluefiske]

Dino,

I think I am close,

DiskStation_AvS> /usr/local/etc/rc.d/openvpn.sh restart

Killing OpenVPN processes....success

Unloading OpenVPN kernel modules...
tun.ko: success

Loading OpenVPN kernel modules:
tun.ko: success

Starting OpenVPN in daemon mode....failed
DiskStation_AvS>

Any idea where to look whats going wrong ?

Thnx

[dino]

post the output of /opt/var/log/openvpn.log

Did you adjust the server.conf file to point to the IP of your synology server?

[Fluefiske]

Yes I did, however I changed the ip and then I runned ifconfig.

It reply's the following:

DiskStation_AvS> ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:32:02:40:1A

Is that meaning it runs oke ???

[dino]

no it's not. The tun adaptor is not listed, so it's not working. Send me the /var/log/messages file and the /opt/var/log/openvpn.log or /opt/etc/openvpn/openvpn.log as PM so I can see what is wrong. I'm pretty sure the startup scripts still says that openvpn failed to start right?

[Fluefiske]

It runs:

Tommorow i will try to configure the client and try to get it running with openssl (any tips where to find ?) Isn't it so that the key at the server the same has to be as the key on the client ?

Thanks again and good night,

André

[dino]

if you read the post carefuly there are some sample config files on my providers ftp server which you can use as test. However I suggest you generate your own keys otherwise anybody downloading the keys could connect on your lan if your ip/hostname is known.

I will write some howto for doing this on a synology DS in the near future, but you can figure out yourself using this tutorial: http://www.ventanazul.com/webzine/artic ... u-and-hulu
Check the chapter: Create Keys and Certificates

Glad to hear it worked for you.

Could you post your problems regarding the howto so I can adjust it for other users?

[molchew]

Dino,
Thanks for your help, open vpn now works, do you know if it stops the DS from hibernating, as mine has stopped and I am trying to find the cause.
