Tomato Toastman's Releases

Ah, didn't know this was by design but what is the reasoning behind this, kthaddock? Is it to avoid a NVRAM commit?

Please have a look at the 'Notes' section on Advanced -> Virtual Wireless page (advanced-wlanvifs.asp):
Once created/defined, a wireless VIF cannot de deleted: it can only be disabled.

But your question still stands - what would the reasoning behind this? Simple: deleting WLVIFs hasn't been implemented just yet ;)

Cheers!

March 19 2012 - 1.28.7497 & variants



There are 2 versions of the firmware.

STD (stable) build for normal use

VLAN-GUI (experimental) build for those who like to live on the edge .... :D

This release sees the addition of PPTP Server & GUI by Teaman. There's also a web GUI to configure and monitor active connections to the PPTP server.

You should consider the VLAN-GUI / Multi-SSID builds as "experimental" or "work in progress".

- Minor multiLAN/wireless bugfixes

- MultiSSID: fixes saving WL VIF settings when net mode is 'n-only' (5GHz radios)

- Syslogd custom path improvements - rc:
  • preserve /var/log/messages if it's a file at syslogd restart
  • if we have a custom path set, check if it's a symlink (and remove/recreate it if necessary)
- PPTP Server for Tomato (Ext, VPN Builds) - by Teaman
  • this commit possibly introduces some bugs, but here we go!
  • this version allows up to 6 IPs/users/concurrent connections (ppp4-ppp9)
  • broadcast relay has been included on the webUI, but hasn't been thoroughly tested
- PPTPD: MPPE and compile bugfixes (batch #1)
  • attempt to fix some random decryption errors causing connections to become unusable. Clients had to disconnect/reconnect manually to fix the problem once it started to happen. The issue seems to be related with some parameters/settings being negotiated between clients and the PPTP server. Hopefully, these changes should prevent these problems from happening. See commit 3ef7e67858ecff04caf8197e381fa8b7c68c668e. Also, this commit should fix some build/compilation issues when merging this code into other branches
- PPTPD: move webUI pages into 'VPN Tunneling' menu

WARNING

DHCP IS DISABLED BY DEFAULT. DON'T FORGET TO TURN IT ON IF YOU NEED IT.
SET A FIXED IP ON YOUR PC TO ACCESS THE ROUTER.

PLEASE DO NOT FLASH 60K NVRAM VERSIONS ON TO ROUTERS OTHER THAN THOSE WHICH THEY ARE INTENDED FOR. THEY WILL SHOW 60K IN THE DISPLAY BUT YOU WILL USUALLY BRICK THE ROUTER IF YOU TRY TO ACTUALLY USE MORE THAN 32K.

DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
 
Doh! Just a few minutes ago, I installed the latest Toastman firmware on my E4200v1, now I check the forum and see there'll be an update.. [*sigh*] :) Oke. it's all good.

I have a PPTP server on my E4200.. I wonder what'll happen to my existing setup. If that which is to be implemented in the Toastman firmware is as good and stable as what I have already.. that'll be super fan dangly...

Is this what's been included in the build???? http://tomatousb.org/tut:configuring-a-pptp-vpn. I've manually configured that already. :)
 
The credit belongs to Teaman, he did the work :)

Dr. Strangelove, it will be good to get feedback from you as you already have experience with your own setup!
 
Toastman Sorry for my English - I use Google translator
It is like your firmware, but I can not get rid of the problem:
very often the router CPU loads the process kl2tpd /0
PID PPID have SER STAT VSZ% MEM% CPU COMMAND
22 023 2 root SW <0 0% 98% [kl2tpd /0]
22 021 1 root S 876 1% 1% xl2tpd
22675 22670 root R 1720 1% 1% top

then disappears and starts USB FLASH determined only after power off the router. The router at this time only handles torrent 25 files to speed at 3Mbit /c. Install any new firmware does not help solve the problem. Can a private message to tell user name and password from the router, if it helps solve the problem.
 
Credos, no other reports of this, maybe it is something new.

What router and what version of Toastman are you using?

Before try anything else, please erase NVRAM and reconfigure (do not use config. backup) and see if that fixes the problem.

Great! Can it be coexisted together with OpenVPN ?

Not entirely sure I understood your question, but here's some thoughts:

Yes - it is possible to have both OpenVPN and PPTP servers on the same firmware/build and it should be ok to have both OpenVPN and PPTP servers running simultaneously on the same router.

I have both PPTP and OpenVPN servers running on my E4200 OpenVPN server for notebooks and PPTP (Optware) server for Android.
Both work fine with no problems. Even at the same time.
So I'd assume the teaman introduction of PPTP server in the firmware will work without any drama along side OpenVPN.

If I wasn't in bed I'd download it and test it.
 
Hello, Toastman. Sorry for my english, it is not my native language.

I'm using "Tomato-K26USB-1.28.7496.2MIPSR2-Toastman-RT-VPN-nocat" on an ASUS RT-N16.
The problem is that anything you put in the 'Run after mounting' in the 'USB Support' is executed twice.
However, what is in 'Run Before unmounting' only runs once.

NOTE: this also happens in other FIRMS, for example in Tomato RAF.

Thank you.
 
Listen guys. There's some minor inconveniences for you getting files from 4shared.

So what?

You are getting firmware for free and yet you are bitching about having to enter some email address into the site to get it (once), and are too impatient to wait 20 seconds to download. It is this sort of self-centered nonsense that has driven most of the developers away already.

Further posts/spam/PM's on this subject will be deleted.
 
PPTP Server​
​
Installed Tomato Firmware v1.28.0497 MIPSR2-Toastman-VLAN-RT-N K26 USB VPN on Linksys E4200v1​
​
Selected VPN Tunnel -> PPTP Server​
Enabled PPTP Server.​
Entered five IP addresses in a new Remote IP Address Range distinct from my local LAN: 10.0.32.1 - 10.0.32.5​
Entered my local DNS Server​
Added a PPTP Username and Password.​
Saved settings.​
​
The external settings of DDNS and NAT/Port-forwarding I already have set up so all I'm focusing on is the Teaman implementation of PPTP Server in the Toastman firmware.​
​
Connected!!!​
​
Using my trusty Android phone I was able to connect via the PPTP server to my NAS without problems.​
​
OpenVPN server is up and running with no problems as expected.​
​
Haven't had a chance to use both PPTP and OpenVPN servers at the same time as my other 3G SIM cards have left the house. :)​
​
Different processes, different IP subnets, so no reason I can think of that could impact PPTP and OpenVPN working at the same time.​
​
Things I noted.​
1. I have nothing to base this on, but the connection handshake to the PPTP Server does seem faster than my previous Optware USB thumb-drive configuration. Subject to the mysteries of my mobile 3G network provider.​
2. The usable password characters are more restrictive then I was using before. No biggie, but as PPTP is not the most secure VPN access method, I just liked to increase my odds of not having my password cracked. I had access to a greater range of characters in the POSIX regular expression [: punct:]. Now limited to [:alnum:] and a couple of [: punct:] characters. This is just an observation when compared to Optware and NOT a restriction or problem.​
3. [big smile] Lots of debugging in the system log.... I'm guessing this'll be reduced in later versions when the requirement is no longer there. Which'll also speed the process up too. Guess I could tool around and take the debug statements out myself, but haye, I see the requirement for them to be there at this time.​
​
I sort of think I should say something big and smart, but my PPTP Server requirements in the past were minimal and all I required was for my Android phone to be able to access my NAS in a secure fashion. Using Teaman's implementation of PPTP in Toastman's Tomato firmware this functionality has been retained and simplified. Great job lads.​
​
By changing one character in my password, I now have the same service I had in my Optware PPTP server implementation (even same remote IP range) and NONE of the previous setup and configuration hassle to get a quick and basic PPTP server up and running.​
​
Great work Teaman. Guess this now frees up your time to start work on an IPSec server... :D [read that as me joking...mind you..]​

I haven't been in this forum very long, so maybe it's not my place to say something like this, but if you are are hassling the selfless Toastman et al, then STFU! You're going to ruin it for all of us!

Sure, 4shared makes us jump through some hoops, but it's free, OK?. If you think we all deserve better than 4shared then perhaps you could organize a "complainers co-operative FTP". A small bundle of T1s will only cost you a few thousand $$ per month.

I for one am always amazed and very appreciative that talented, generous, and seemingly selfless people do this kind of thing for free.

I'm sure it's OK to report bugs, and offer suggestions for improvement, and make requests for new features, but please don't complain. Why would you complain? You are getting more than your money's worth.

I like my free firmware and I am very grateful for it.

Choc.

PS, is there a Paypal for the current Tomato forks? (I couldn't find one). If not, what are the favorite charities of the developers?
