VPN server by Poussin no longer workign after firmware update
Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone can help me with this issue. I was sucessfully running VPN using the VPN Server by Poussin APP on my readynas 312. I recently checked for updates and it updated to 6.6.1. I'm not sure which version it was on previously but its probably been around a year since it last updated. After this the VPN connection is no longer working.
I have checked realease notes for recent versions of the readynas firmware but cannot see anything relevant.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance, Mark
Hi mark3,
I have 6.6.1 running on a RN204 and may have had a problem but I can't quite remember. Either way, I updated to the latest Softether server using brlathanjr's technique in the thread below and everything works fine.

Hi mark3.
Might be best to send a PM to the app developer about it.

I am really new at this---when you mention brlathanjr's technique, a few questions:
1. how do i get root? i looked in as admin using putty and got no where apt-get was not available
2. when i use wget, is it downloading off the internet directly onto the box? so unlike pushing the files to the box from the web interface, this gets them directly right?
3. do i type everything in at once? is it a script? some seem like individual commands but others like
make

1seem like they are part of a script. i also see that the VPN is no longer working under 6.6.0 . however unsure if it is my network configuration (now being behind a VPN). however the readynas app is able to tunnel back inot my readynas from the internet, thus i bleieve the VPN issue is tied to a version issue.
I have an x86 based 516
Ok, first of all, I am not familiar with the x86 based 516 but the principles are the same.
In answer to your points:
1. look futher up the thread I quoted, to calaba's opening post, that should help you
2. correct, although you need to make sure you get the correct version for your NAS. Mine has an ARM architecture not an x86 like yours, so you need to get the correct one for that.
3. they are indiviual commands but you can copy and paste and execute a few at once if you want to but only up to a point. For instance, the "1 1 1" you quote are the option numbers you should select when presented with various options.
There is a slight mistake (well there was for me) in that you need to change to the vpnserver directory before executing the make command
Hope that helps,
Jack
