Hello everyone,
did anyone install on DD-WRT the Shadowsocks client to connect to a VPS hosting.
I just have seen that it is available for OpenWRT and for DD-WRT via Optware or now Entware.
2nd question is, how to get a web interface to fill out the configuration. For OpenWRT I have seen screen shots, for DD-WRT nothing.
Is it actually working on DD-WRT?
If yes, any tutorial is highly appreciated.

I need your help in installing Entware.
Looks like that I am running into permission issues.
generic.sh: line 43: /opt/bin/opkg: Permission denied
generic.sh: line 44: /opt/bin/opkg: Permission denied
I am using currently DD-WRT v3.0-r37015M (09/23/18 ) kongac.
The USB is formatted with ext2. Might this be the problem and I need to switch to ext3?

Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks a lot

My advise is to set it to ext4 (long time ago i had issues using ext2 and ext3) and label it as "opt" so DD-WRT can mount it at boot automaticaly. Then make sure you can write at opt partition. I install entware without using wget to download the generic file, you can download it from your pc, then copy it to opt using winSCP, then just run it from cli.
Also would be better to use a HDD instead of an USB, but it will work with USB.
About your 2nd question, DD-WRT doesnt have a page in the interface for/about Entware, but nevertheless there is a way, check this https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/MyPage , i think that mypage8.sh is what you are looking for about it. I'm still trying to get it to work but without success. _________________

I use ext 2 and it is working, the problem can be in the mounting of opt, you have to make a partition on the USB stick which is labelled opt so that it will automount.
See my attached notes maybe they are helpfull (only visible when you are logged in)

Hello egc, hello CEGN,
thanks for your feedback.
I did made 3 partitions on my USB.
jffs (using it for adblocking)
swap
opt
I restarted the router again and "re-activated " the USB.
All looks good, just the /opt/bin/opkg: permission denied.
Searching for the permission denied showed me the solution of the problem.
I believed that my R7000 is a broadcom device but it isn't. I run "uname -a" and it showed me armv7 DD-WRT.

I used the link for the armv7 and all the installation was going fine.
