What is the method for adding nodes in OpenWRT?
To add a node on OpenWrt, you can follow these steps:
- First, make sure that your OpenWrt device is correctly connected to the internet and that you can access it through SSH or the web interface.
- Access the management interface of the OpenWrt device by logging in. You can open the web interface by entering the device’s IP address (default is 192.168.1.1) in your browser.
- Navigate to the “Network” tab in the management interface, and then select “Interfaces”.
- On the “Interface” page, click on the “Add New Interface” button.
- – On the “Create New Interface” page, choose “VPNs” as the interface protocol, and select the desired VPN protocol like OpenVPN or WireGuard.
- Based on the selected VPN protocol, fill out the corresponding settings. For example, in OpenVPN, you will need to provide information such as the VPN server address, port, certificate, and key.
- After completing all necessary settings, click the “submit” button.
- Next, you can see the newly added node on the “Interface” page. You can click on the respective node to configure it and enable it.
- After completing the configuration, you can save and apply your changes by clicking the “Save & Apply” button.
After completing the above steps, your OpenWrt device will add a new node and be able to connect using the chosen VPN protocol. Please note that the specific steps may vary depending on the version of OpenWrt you are using and the selected VPN protocol.
