I have a Linksys EA6400 (upgraded to R39469) and for some reason I keep losing settings after reboot. It seems the following values arent being saved to NVRAM
PPTP Server:
Server IP (empty after reboot)
OpenVPN Server:
Network (0.0.0.0 after reboot)
CA Cert (empty after reboot)
What are the nvram keys for those, I want to change them and then check with 'nvram show' after saving.
You've probably exhausted nvram in which to store the certs and keys. This is fairly common w/ older routers. Try enabling JFFS on the Administration page and storing the files there, then referencing them from Additional Config.
Code:
ca /jffs/openvpn/server/ca.crt
cert /jffs/openvpn/server/server.crt
key /jffs/openvpn/server/server.key
dh /jffs/openvpn/server/dh.pem
You could also store and reference them from USB if your router supports it.
Well, I found out the key names, set the config and when I check with 'nvram show' everything is set, with 37K of 64K nvram used.
I created a startup script setting the nvram values and when I check the config it is set. If I click "Apply Settings" both services start and work. Is there a way to "Apply settings" from the startup script?
