**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Mar 22 02:59:58 2012 Mar 22 08:19:22 hi guys, to flash the fonera firmware from web interface should i upload the img or tgz file? Mar 22 08:20:50 alex88: The tgz Mar 22 08:21:10 ty blathijs Mar 22 08:21:21 alex88: But be careful that your browser doesn't ungzip it for you (I think Safari does that in some cases) Mar 22 08:21:51 blathijs: using chrome.. http://download.fonosfera.org/LATEST/fonera2.0n-FON2300/ i've downloaded the DEV one to let me ssh into fonera.. Mar 22 08:22:14 i want to install openvpn as client and bridge local network Mar 22 08:24:54 alex88: If you want to do that, you might want to consider trying the 2.3.7.0 beta2 release Mar 22 08:25:09 alex88: It contains some OpenVPN related fixes (and a bunch of fixes in general) Mar 22 08:25:24 blathijs: is it stable enough? does it already have openvpn configurable via gui? Mar 22 08:26:02 alex88: Only server-side openvpn. I'd like to implement client-side as well, but there's more important stuff to do before that. Mar 22 08:26:30 (So I'd be happy to see whatever scripts and changes you need to get it working, if you get it to work) Mar 22 08:27:04 ofc.. in case i mess with networking and fonera is not accessible anymore (like wrong routes or such) reset button resets full firmware or just setting? Mar 22 08:27:06 As for the stability, beta2 is fairly stable. There are some issues with wifi stability, though, so you might want to stick with the stable release after all Mar 22 08:27:53 A factory reset resets settings only. The Fonera doesn't remember the original firmware, that would cost too much Flash space :-) Mar 22 08:28:25 blathijs: i think i'll do, because we use fonera here at work… so i need at least stable internet… are you interested to know how i do openvpn client also if i do on stable fw? Mar 22 08:28:45 blathijs: is there a recover flashing method? Mar 22 08:28:55 But if you somehow mess up the firmware, you can still flash in a new firmware using TFTP Mar 22 08:29:05 There's a wiki page, let me check Mar 22 08:29:11 http://wiki.fon.com/wiki/Firmware_Restore Mar 22 08:29:40 alex88: Yeah, I'm still interested in the stable version. Mar 22 08:30:02 uh ok, thank you very much ;) i'll let you know maybe tomorrow or next week… can't test that on working hours Mar 22 08:31:08 You might want to have a look at the beta changelog, there's a list of OpenVPN changes in the beta1 changelog: http://download.fonosfera.org/RC/2.3.7.0_beta2/Changelog.txt Mar 22 08:32:02 Though I think those are only related to the GUI, so if you just set things up using custom scripts, they're probably not relevant Mar 22 08:54:49 seems so, and openvpn software updates… stable version already ships with openvpn installed correct? so i just have to edit the configuration and do the network edits Mar 22 09:00:20 Yup Mar 22 09:27:14 ok, as soon as i get it working i'll tell you ;) Mar 22 09:27:33 If you run into problems, feel free to ask as well Mar 22 09:27:46 i'll do, thank you for helping Mar 22 16:50:40 blathijs: will fonera lose all settings after flash? Mar 22 16:50:48 i mean, flashing dev firmware Mar 22 16:51:24 alex88: If you use the webgui to flash the tgz, then settings will be preserved Mar 22 16:51:34 (though not all, this is improved in 2.3.7.0) Mar 22 16:51:50 i'll download the settings from webgui just for precaution ;) Mar 22 16:52:23 alex88: That download is similarly incomplete :-S Mar 22 16:52:31 but the most important settings are there Mar 22 16:52:33 well, i just need internet and wifi settings Mar 22 16:53:20 there is one thing: you'll need to change your password after the flash if you want to use SSH from WAN (because it forgets that your password is strong enough on an upgrade) Mar 22 17:03:54 blathijs: ssh is by default on all interfaces? btw, not a problem, wan port is connected on our isp modem.. so it's not public Mar 22 17:04:19 alex88: No, you'll have to enable it on the WAN port through Settins -> Firewall -> Services (or something) first Mar 22 17:04:31 so not a problem..i need that local only Mar 22 17:04:37 ok :-) Mar 22 17:39:28 blathijs: ok flash is ok.. i think i should put certs into /jffs because it's the only fs with some space Mar 22 17:39:40 alex88: You can just use / Mar 22 17:39:57 is it merged with /? Mar 22 17:40:04 /jffs is an overlay over /, so anything you write to / will end up in /jffs automagically Mar 22 17:40:11 i see.. awesome Mar 22 17:40:21 * blathijs is off now, good luck! Mar 22 17:40:31 blathijs: have fun! thanks for helping ;) Mar 22 17:40:34 i'll let you know Mar 22 17:53:03 blathijs: still there? Mar 22 17:57:37 np, talk you later ;) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Mar 23 02:59:58 2012
