Hi,

I wanna install OpenWRT `iptables-mod-filter` package. I followed https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Installing_Entware installed the `opkg` command. The installation is successful, but after running `opkg upgrade` command, it prompts there is no iptables-mod-filter.

How can I install this package on my router

Thanks in advance.

I do not know what the relation is with OpenWRT, but with Entware you can install a lot of additional packages (see: https://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k3.2/ )

The forum guidelines have many helpful pointers about how and where to post:

As far as I know there are not even Entware packages for PPC.

Maybe you are posting in the wrong forum but if so I cannot move your post as you do not state your router model and build number as requested by the forum guidelines to get optimal support

My router is Netgear R6400v1.

I checked the link you give (https://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k3.2/ ). It seems Entware does not have iptables-mod-filter package...

Moved your post to the right Broadcom forum.

Perhaps tell us what your problem is you are trying to solve so that we can think of a solution.

Oh and tell us what build you are running, not all builds can be recommended.

What exact kernel or iptables module or functionality are you even looking for? That might help someone tell you where to look or how to enable it.

I want to apply some iptables BPF bytecode rules, e.g.:

Although not related, but your build is old and deprecated and has security issues, so consider upgrading.

About the subject, I think you need xt_bpf.ko maybe it is in the iptables or ip full Entware package

Otherwise you have to compile the module yourself, I can normally do that for you but I am currently on holiday.

I had internet today so fired up the old build system at home.
Attached xt_bpf.ko

Maybe it works maybe not or maybe it needs dependent modules but worth a try.

It is build for build 47510

Have fun

Thanks. Please forgive me for asking what might be a dumb question, but I'm slightly unclear how to use the file. Is there a detailed guide I can follow?

Best Regards.

My mistake I thought someone using this knows how to do that.

Copy to permanent storage on the router, you can copy it to /tmp but then it is gone on reboot.

Let say you copy it to jffs.
Then insmod the module with

I am not sure what your exact usage is, but using ipset could be an alternative.

Ipset has been added recently.
