I have a DIR-825 B1 which should have 64mb ram, 8mb flash, which should support OpenVPN.

Previously I was running 1.5.5 and there was no OpenVPN in the menus.

Now I've just upgraded to 1.5.8 and still no OpenVPN.

Do I need to do something to enable this feature? I'm trying to get PPTP Passthrough to work for incoming VPN PPTP connection.

unfortunately
opkg install kmod-ipt-nathelper-extra

did not work on 1.5.5, and does not even install due to kernel version check error on 1.5.8

Any tips? thanks!

I figured it out! *Pats myself on the back* Lots of playing around.

SSH into the router and follow these commands:

This was the most complete page of information I found:
http://www.hkepc.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=1660401

opkg update
opkg install pptpd

Problem #1, pptpd wouldn't install

satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for pptpd * kernel (= 3.3.8-1-54676ff21e7e4e275e485bc50fb94fcb)

So I found out you can just override the dependency and force it

http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/opkg

Force install with –-force-depends flag (it can b0rk the install but no other options in my case)

from the top:

opkg update
opkg install pptpd -–force-depends
opkg install kmod-mppe -–force-depends
/etc/init.d/pptpd enable
/etc/init.d/pptpd start

Then following the configuration in this post which has english comments:

It misses the section on configuring /etc/pptpd.conf found here

bingo bango works like a charm!
