Thank you Sota , will try and let you know

[dda]

I am getting this error message when i type "ossw-repos add" in putty "-bash: ossw-repos: command not found" should the file have an extension? or am i just doing something wrong?

[sota]

Assuming you are in that same folder as where you saved the script,  you have to make it executable with:

chmod a+x ossw-repos

then run:

./ossw-repos add

and

./oss-repos enable

then:

smart update
and
smart install ossw-l2tp

Thanks a million Sota its all good now.  Will test tomorrow.

Hi Sota,
        I am interested in the IFTOP as well, I did smart install iftop from Roberts repository and it seemed to have installed
where can I go to see the reporting of the iftop addon?

[sota]

Hmm, try the iftop command in a Putty session?

[dda]

Hi sorry for some reason it was not functioning when I first tried it, I actually did the install a second time closed putty and re-opened and it started working.  Sounded like a dumbass for a bit there didnt I

[sota]

It can happen to the best of us! Also, you can use iftop -i <interface name> to select which interface to use.

I had actually googled it after it didn't work the first time but thanks for the assist.

do you have EFW 2.5.1 or 2.5.2? ossw is not compatible with 2.5.2

[mmiat]

I tried to manually download and install packages from ossw repository with endian 2.5.2 and 3.0.0
some packages work, other no
so', for example, it's impossible to compile other software's sources

[mmiat]

I use IPSec for lan-to-lan (or gw-to-gw) connections, but for roadwarriors I've installed softether on a server and don't use Endian, it's ok for openvpn but bot works with pptp/l2tp/etc., even if I use ossw repository
