ok so i now have a working tunnel to my DM500

Few problems

1. I have to start it manually with /var/bin/openvpn --config /var/etc/openvpn/prq.conf - How do I get to run on startup?
2. It doesnt seem to be working with the openvpn ppanel? even when its running n working the ppanel says its stopped.

[xener]

add it to startup script.

it looks like there is a time problem with openvpn. when on a reboot the box doesn't have the time to sync it's time from the transponder the openvpn starts with a date of 1970's!!!! is there any command to sync to a channel before it starts the deamon so that it will have it's time synced?


E.D

[xener]

use ntpdate before openvpn.

[fantomduck]

do you know where i can find it?
i found a version but it is not executed correctly.

Hi,

Has anybody of you any idea how can i install the ntpdate or other ntp software on the DM500? The openvpn server keeps getting the 1970's date and it won't take the real date and clients won't go up.

If there is also any option to delay the start of the openvpn_script.sh with a delay so that the system will have the time to get the date from the transponder before the start of the openvpn deamon it would be a middle solution.

Big thanks to all the guys who put so much effort into this. Works like a charm!

And I have 740 kB free on my Openpli-maxvar install. This includes CCcam installed.

[santosh43]

from where I can download this image which include openvpn and cccam, can you please direct me to the instructions to insall this.

Thx

[lagioarxid]

Hi everyone. First of all thanks to the team for the great images. I have installed the latest openpli for dm500 maxvar and, everything works perfectly. I have tried many...many hours trying to figure a way to install openvpn on my dm500s , for a while i got a connection, but tried many things many times and so i ended up reflashing the image so everything is clean for a good install. I would like to ask if there is any guide or anyone can help with a guide on where to find and which correct openvpn package to install, and also how to create/install a startup script that firstly will sync time and then run openvpn.


Thank you for any reply.

Hello,

 

recently I came across this thread as I was also searching for an dreambox 500 openvpn solution. I was trying the offered openvpn.tar.gz package from page 3 and it just worked out of box. But like others here already mentioned it lacks support for comp-lzo. So I tried to build openvpn with the OpenPLI-CDK by myself and after 2 days getting into the CDK build Environment (not enough documentation) I finally made it. My original goal was to put it directly into the dm500-maxvar-image, but image creation process failed due size restriction of image. So I've put the openvpn binary on the dm500 box and replaced the other version in /var/bin --- and surprise: IT WORKED!

 

This is the output of the "old" version with comp-lzo enabled in config file:

root@dm500 /var/etc/openvpn # /var/bin/openvpn.orig  --config client.conf 
Options error: Unrecognized option or missing parameter(s) in client.conf:118: comp-lzo (2.0.9)
Use --help for more information.

And now the new one:

root@dm500 /var/etc/openvpn # /var/bin/openvpn  --config client.conf      
Sat Nov 23 23:23:23 2013 OpenVPN 2.2.2 powerpc-tuxbox-linux-gnu [SSL] [LZO2] [EPOLL] [eurephia] built on Nov 23 2013
Sat Nov 23 23:23:23 2013 NOTE: OpenVPN 2.1 requires '--script-security 2' or higher to call user-defined scripts or executables
Sat Nov 23 23:23:23 2013 LZO compression initialized

...

 

So I've put this into the original tar.gz and here you can download this version:  openvpn-lzo.tar.gz   511.23KB   115 downloads

 

Details:

• lzo-2.06
• openvpn-2.2.2 (client only)

And for the curious - excerpt from Makefile.am:

                $(target)-strip --strip-all $(targetprefix)/sbin/openvpn
        @CLEANUP_openvpn@
        touch $@

 

I hope it will be usefull for someone else.

[snam11]

i know is an old post, but can some1 compile an updated version of openvpn?

all free (and payed) vpn providers needs sha256/512 encription in config, and with latest binary (2.2.2) compiled by qnopli is not supported...

if no binary can be updated, some1 knows a workaround to fix the sha256?

thanx

[WanWizard]

Not for a DM500, we don't have an active build environment for cdk images anymore.

[snam11]

so basically i can run openvpn but i can't use it no more due to sha....

to bad for the glorious dm500, i was trying to keep on using it as a home server, but i guess i can't do it no more

 

p.s. out of curiosity, which is latest available openvpn version for enigma1?
