TomatoUSB

Hi,

I am running Kernel 2.4 NoUSB VPN (v1.28.8754 ND vpn3.6) on a Linksys WRT54GS v2. Previously, the WAN on this was disabled as I was only using it as an AP+WDS, with my gateway being the trusted interface on my NetScreen running ScreenOS 5.4.

TUSB
LAN: 10.0.0.2/8
DNS: 10.0.0.1/8

Now what I am trying to do is enable the WAN on the TUSB
WAN: 192.168.255.2
SM: 255.255.255.0
GW 192.168.255.254

NetScreen
e0/1: 10.0.0.1/8
e0/3: 192.168.255.254/24
e0/4: DHCP assigned by ISP

TUSB, Advanced, Routing set to Gateway

What I am trying to do is utilize OpenVPN on the TUSB as it sits behind my NetScreen. The tutorial I read states that NTP has to be enabled for OpenVPN to work but I can't get this to work.
I have done this with a Cisco VPN concentrator so I know it's doable, unless there is something lacking in TomatoUSB or I've configured something incorrectly on it.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

This is a dim memory, but I _think_ the NTP client assumes WAN connectivity will be directly on the router. You should be able to run a NTP client by script to meet your needs, but yes, (reasonably) correct time is an absolute must for OpenVPN to function.

Ok, I've resolved my NTP issue and can establish the tunnel.

I would like to add username and password authentication. The client side was easy but how do I do this on TomatoUSB's OpenVPN server side? The OpenVPN.net How-To says I should use shared object or plugins but are they included in TomatoUSB?

Or is there an easier way?

Thanks,

htpcdude, did you ever find a way to run username/password openvpn authentication on your tomato usb router?
