How can I update SoftEther VPN App to Newest Version - ReadyNAS 10400
Hello all - if anyone is interested in knowing the solution mentioned in this topic here then here is it. Unfortunatelly the topic is already closedso cannot add solution directly there. Tested on NETGEAR ReadyNAS 10400. Current version of the VPN App is 1.5 which contains SoftEther VPN Server version 4.12. I successfully updated the SoftEther VPN Server to latest version as of today 4.19 - Build 9605. The solution is to download latest binary build for ARM (my ReadyNAS is ARM v7) and then copy it to the folder /apps/vpnserver/bin/arm/ . In this location there is a compilation script which can rebuild the vpnserver and vpncmd executables (ELF) using the latest binary release of the downloaded SoftEther VPN Server. Steps - ssh root access is required: 1) Stop the VPN Server App in ReadyNAS Web UI 2) ssh to the ReadyNAS box (i.e. using PuTTy) 3) Become root by executing "sudo su" if your user is sudoer or logon directly as user root 4) Install build tools to be able to execute the SoftEther build: apt-get update apt-get install make libc6-dev gcc gdb libtag1-dev uuid-dev 5) download latest ARM EABI Binary release of the SoftEther VPN Server - in my case 4.19-Build 9605 wget http://www.softether-download.com/files/softether/v4.19-9605-beta-2016.03.06-tree/Linux/SoftEther_VPN_Server/32bit_-_ARM_EABI/softether-vpnserver-v4.19-9605-beta-2016.03.06-linux-arm_eabi-32bit.tar.gz 6) Untar the archive tar xvf softether-vpnserver-v4.19-9605-beta-2016.03.06-linux-arm_eabi-32bit.tar.gz The directory vpnserver is created. 7) Copy the content of the vpnserver directory (the archive extract) over the files in the directory /apps/vpnserver/bin/arm/ 8) cd to /apps/vpnserver/bin/arm/ and build the new ELF executables: cd /apps/vpnserver/bin/arm/ ./.install.sh - you have to view & accept the license agreement, after that the new executables (vpnserver and vpncmd) should be build using the files extracted from the latest binary release of the SoftEther VPN Server 9) Now copy everything from /apps/vpnserver/bin/arm/ also one level up to /apps/vpnserver/bin (dunno why it's duplicated there) 10) make sure you return the ownership of the files to the admin user: cd /apps/vpnserver chown -R admin:admin bin/ 11) Cleanup the extracted vpnserver directory and the downloaded archive 12) Start the VPN Server App from ReadyNAS Web UI and Enjoy new version (don't forget to use compatible VPN Client tools) Maybe someone can write fully automated script ... including the download from the SoftEther VPN Server location ;-)19KViews3likes21Comments
