Hi all,

I just made the leap from DDWRT to OpenWRT, as it seemed that it offered better compatibility/stability for my router.

So far, the difference is night and day.. OpenWRT is smoking DDWRT in terms of performance and stability. Overall the config has been easy, but I'm having trouble with the setup of a VPN Server/Service on it.

I've tried following the guide titled "Openswan Xl2tpd HOWTO" and I get stuck installing the kmod-crc-ccitt package.. I get this error:

Unknown package 'kmod-crc-ccitt'.

It looks like there might also be a typo in the list of required packages.. "ipsec-tools we" <--- the we generates an error.

I'm running Chaos Calmer 15.05.1 on a TP-Link TL-WDR4300 v1

My goal is to setup a VPN service that I can use to dial into my home network.. ideally using a VPN client that's already built into Windows.

On DDWRT I was using the PPTP VPN service.. I figure now that I'm reconfiguring things for OpenWRT I'd use the opportunity to get away from the older, insecure way I used to do things.

Can someone point me in the right direction here?

Thanks!!

I don't use IPsec but the package you want is likely kmod-lib-crc-ccitt.  I'm guessing that's a typo.

No idea what the "we" after ipsec-tools is, can't help you there.

Looks like the write up I was using doesn't apply to Chaos Calmer.

Chaos Calmer uses strongswan, and the document I was looking at uses openswan... so I've got to back up a few steps here..

Guys, is there any up to date guide for setting up L2TP VPN on OpenWrt?
