Does anybody know if the FW 1.45_13/2.4.17 kernel does or doesn't support Tun

(or Tap)

devices, as needed by OpenVPN?



-Andre

Is that a stock or Debian-converted LinkStation? I've successfully

installed OpenVPN on a Debian LinkStation I.

It's the stock LS 1. OpenVPN does compile, but it's useless w/o the tun module.

Could you

make yours available please, so I could test it? Provided you're on firmware

1.45_13,

otherwise, it wouldn't work, I fear.

Sorry, I'm running a Debian-converted LinkStation I with the

additional modules package. Perhaps you could try creating a custom

firmware with the tun modules included?

They don't need Debian to install extra kernel modules.  They will

need load them in a script somewhere however.  They will also have

to fight the infamous "dependency hell" problems getting OpenVPN to

compile and run in the first place that us Debian users are mostly

immune to. ... Actually I just checked and it looks like all they

have to make sure they have (other than the obvious libc6) is a

compatible libssl and liblzo1.



So hopefully you can eventually tell us what all you did to get it

to work in Debian at least?

I'm still working on a tutorial. Hopefully I'll have it posted soon :)

Compiling OpenVPN 2.0 on a stock LS 1 is no problem, provided you have the kuro

openssl binary installed. LZO compression is optional. The ./configure script

will tell you

what to do if it's not installed, and disabling LZO in the openvpn configuration

is trivial.

Just I would need to get the tun module to make use of it.

It's a stock LS 1.
