Barry nacey

Hi guys

Just satrted to use my Onion and im having a problem. Im trying to install

I Just need to install OpenVpn or a VPN client . But cant find any on OpenWrt

opkg install openvpn-openssl

and it grabs the file but i keep getting Error mnessage of

opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package openvpn

Iv used -force and still not working

Thanks you

try opkg update first...

@sadry-fievet @Barry-nacey Using opkg update won't fix this. opkg clearly knows about openvpn-openssl otherwise the message would be different.

The message that @Barry-nacey is getting indicates that the kernel version that openvpn-openssl wants doesn't match that on the Omega

One way to handle this is to override the dependency check by using the --force-depends option on opkg but this is generally not recommended in case there are incompatibilities between the package and the kernel version - this is not always the problem but it is difficult to check without knowing what the requirements of the package are in relation to kernel access.

The best that I can suggest is asking the Omega people to produce an openvpn-openssl package that matches the Omega kernel version

Is OpenVPN on any list to be made functional for the Omega?

Is there any progress on openvpn on the Omega?
I have recently received two Omega2+ and was looking to use openvpn, but the same problem still appears to exist
