Firmware select - which suits Omni II, please?

[ais77]

Hi, I successfully use version 1.10 on my Zyxel Keenetic Omni II (it's Mediatek based MT7620N 8/64 MB device) reliably for years already, thank you for your great work!
Now I want to upgrade to the latest stable 1.14 (I need OpenVPN working), but can't find in FW list any candidate with Omni in name to download.
Does it mean that Omni II support is dropped?
Or should I use sysupgrade for one of other compatible presented models?

I don’t see any evidence of that device ever being supported by Gargoyle. Do you know what file you flashed?
Did you perhaps get it from the Polish site, eko.one.pl?

I’m any case, you cannot flash a random image and expect a good result.
You either compile your own modern image or abandon the device.

No, as I said it was years (probably when 1.10 was actual) ago, so no chance to recall the source(
Unlike Polish one, I guess, mostly Russian probably...
Anyway it was probably hacky way - as even developer is surprised that it works on Omni)

So I see there is no proper/known way for me to upgrade...

I'd happily stay on 1.10 if I could solve OpenVPN issue (that's why I really looked for upgrade - in hope it was solved in more recent versions) - probably you would point me in the right direction?
Once I create server I can't download certificates .zip - mouse pointer turns "denied" when I hover corresponding button in interface, why? Any chance to solve this?
SSH root to router's Gargoyle is available.

No idea sorry. It’s not worth debugging 1.10. Modern OpenVPN apps have moved on significantly and are likely to not connect to it.

If you want to to compile your own:
https://github.com/ericpaulbishop/gargo ... /README.md

I would use the “base_on_openwrt_2305” branch as the most modern and latest development.
There is already an mt7620 profile, you just need to enable your device. It will likely compile with no further effort required.

Thank you a lot - I'll definitely give a try.
I like your approach, it's a lot clearer than vanilla OpenWrt, for sure.
And - especially - your readiness to help, it's rare and precious thing nowadays.
Tnx again!

[Lantis]

See where you can get to and then come back for help.
My advice generally is to try compiling just plain ramips.mt7620 first to ensure your build environment works, then modify it for your device.
Less variables that way

Unfortunately, I've got one package building error which fails evertyhing:

Code: Select all

fatal: unable to access 'https://git.torproject.org/pluggable-transports/obfsproxy-legacy.git/': SSL connection timeout

Is there any way to disable including this package? I don't need any obfuscated proxy in my setup, as well as i.e. minidlna (I tried "make custom" and noticed that it cannot be disabled)

If you visit the URL it looks to have changed. Now a gitlab instance. I haven’t tried yet but changing the makefile to reference the new spot should be sufficient.

I just tested the old and new URLs, both work fine.
I suspect either a problem on your end or a temporary outage on theirs.
