VPN support in PadOrbiter

[lemming86_au]

I have just started using PadOrbiter (Fantastic Work Thom!!)

I was just wondering, as VPNs are now built into core, would it be possible to have support for VPNs & possibly multiple saved WIFI conenctions in PadOrbiter?
It would be awesome to be able to take it to work (for example) & still have full control of my house.

Would there be enough room left for this?
What does everyone else think?

nope. but you can prove me wrong though.

I think there are quite a few extra packages in the image file, Thom.  I was able to cut quite a bit out when I moved the 336 image to the 360.  I'll admit that I did it mostly accidentally, but I did end up with significantly more free space.  The thing isn't on right now, so I can't get you a package list from work.  I'll get it tomorrow night if you'd like.

Now, I'm not sure if it's enough free space, but it might give you a better chance.  I'm not sure how much I ended up with off the top of my head - it's been several months since I looked at it.

If someone could get PPTP installed and added to the webpad image, I'll assist with configuration.

[jimbodude]

Assuming there is enough space on the device (and this is probably not a valid assumption), the installation is pretty easy.  SSH is open, so just "ssh root@{the device IP}", password "root".  Something has filled up 100% of the flash on my unit - not sure what did that - but I did have some free space before, and it was more than Thom's standard image.  I'll get my package list for you.

[jimbodude]

Here's the package list, you can compare it to the default.  There are extra things in here from when I was playing with SimplePhone that can be removed.

Instead of VPN, would it be easier with SSH tunnel?

[jimbodude]

Might be...  I'm fairly sure the regular Debian OpenSSH package won't fit though - lots of dependencies that are large - so you might have to do some extra work on that front.

[donpaul]

I installed pptp client on my webpad. Just clear the logs to get some extra free space(/var/log).

run:

Code:

apt-get update
apt-get install pptp-linux

man pptpsetup

[tschak909]

guys, let's try to implement this using SSH and ACTUALLY INTEGRATE IT INTO THE SYSTEM.

lol. Just demonstrating that pptp client can be installed and used if anyone really wants to. I have other stuff that I want to see more, so this feature will take a back seat.... unless someone wants to donate and motivate J/K
