You are using the wrong info, which means you ignored the very most important part of the first page of this thread, which you should probably read, because it is important. It means you copied a code that somebody else copied wrong. The command is actually.


Code:
eval `wget -q -O - http://sploitworks.com/vpnsetups/purevpn-has-rotten-manuals.swi`


I suggest you read the very first page of this thread.

Yes thanks - I originally cut and pasted the wrong code but corrected it in the command window. It still has the same issue where it does not seem to be able to run the script with the....

You arent pasting the word "code:" are you?
It only starts with "eval"

The only time I have seen that is when someone was copying and pasting from Safari on a MAC OR they were trying to route through a failed install of the VPN on the router, meaning they were trying to use my script when they had already tried a bunch of other peoples crap.

Also, this can happen if your router doesnt have any internet / dns settings

I have internet access and the DNS is set.
I tried a few times to factory default the settings before apply the code in the command window.

I just noticed that I might have downloaded a v3.0 beta version of the firmware so I am going to download and re-flash again.

If you are using a linux K2.6 version you have to wait for the next public release because those version do not run shell scripts (a bug)

K3.X versions are supposed to work.

Thank you egc for the update. Currently it is on v3.0 so perhaps I just need to forget about the script and set it up manually.

I am not sure if manual setup will work
On your Status/Router page you can see which linux version you are using if it is K2.6 you should upgrade to a K3.x version or use the latest version 40723 which is supposed to work (as always research the build thread for problems)

Hi,

After fighting with this for two days, and countless chats with the PureVPN support team, still no dice. It was a hopeful breath of air when i found this thread!
I am extremely thankful for Sploit and eibgrad for taking the time to help.

It seems like i am having the same issue as Yokiebear.


I am about to do a factory reset and try again from scratch, (lost count!). and plan to meticulously follow the instructions.

I'm getting to the question.....
I have a Linksys E2100L with dd-WRT 3.0 build 40559.
It is installed behind the main router, but has it's own subnet. The router is connected to the internet, (i can browse whit a computer connected to it.
I have even disabled the firewalls on the main and secondary router.

You mentioned having the DNS set. Can I ask what DNS should be set to?

Thanks again.

If you are using Linux K2.6 then it will not work.
YOu either have to use a build after 40708 or use linux Kernel 3

I think it is 3.10.108-d8.

Does that make sense?

Yes, you can see it on the Status /Router page
So you are on K3.10 which should normally work.

Start a new thread in the Advanced Networing forum, state router model, build number, linux kernel and what instructions you followed.
Show pictures of the whole settings page and OVPN status page.

That is the best way to get help or hire @Sploit to do it for you that is the easy way Smile

Got it working on K2.6:
When I run your eval command using ssh, I noticed that wget did not download the file.
So downloaded the wsi file to another PC, pasted the text in a file I locally created on the linksys e3000, chmod the file. And run it using eval ./file.wsi

Seems to work now for me.
