Hi,

i'm trying to find out if there's a possiblilty to get the wrt54g work as a vpn client over the wan-interface.
The uncommon is that the proprietary cisco vpnclient has to be used...
I know there is eg an openvpn package but as far as i knows it won't work with it.
So because i'm a newbie please let me now!

Aim is the following:
The wrt should act as a nat-router between my LAN an the internet (which is reached through the vpn). Now i'm using a complete Linux-Computer to do that, but it's a lot of power needed for that of course.

Thanks ins Advance!!!

there is vpnc which is a free clone of the cisco vpn client, which may work on a wrt54g too.

Hi,

i know this alternnate vpn client. Unfortunately this client doesn't support rekeying so that I'm getting disconneted regularly.
But if at least this client would run on my wrt it would be great.
But with the manual givon on this domain i'm not able to create an ipkg by myself...

Unless Cisco provides sources to crosscompile or a binary for mipsel, linked against the right versions of uClibc, I very much doubt trying to package it is of much use. Without sources, you're SOL.

At first look, this is just a glorified ipsec client. What's wrong with using openswan?

I thought openswan wouldn't work as a cisco vpnclient?
Am i wrong?
If yes I'll try it, because openswan is available as a package for openwrt, isn't it?

Hey just try this package, thanks for the link to vpnc

http://openwrt.alphacore.net/vpnc_0.3.2_mipsel.ipk

Please let me know about issues you may encounter with it.

Thanks by advance.

I have some problems here with vpnc...
I can connect the cisco concentrator and send trough tun0 packages but I cant receive...

example:

tun0      Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
          inet addr:192.168.64.20  P-t-P:192.168.64.20  Mask:255.255.255.255
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1412  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:22 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:10
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:2420 (2.3 KiB)

what can be the problem?

the firewall isnt the problem (deactivated)
