help with ssh astrill vpn router setup

I need help... I'm trying to install the the applet via ssh with no luck.. im trying
eval `wget -q -O - http://www.astrill.com/ddwrt/install/YOUR_EMAIL/YOUR_PASSWORD
and its not working at all... can someone who has this working help me figure out why its not installing on my ac68u...

/bin/sh: eval: line 1: astrill_installwget: not found

There's a backtick missing at the end of what you pasted.

Also, I'd try changing to a writable location before executing this, in case it would need to write some temp files down.

Code:
cd /tmp
 
fixed!!! thx Merlin

now I have one more issue... even tho I ticked jffs its saying not mounted...
Installing Astrill VPN binary... done.
WARNING: JFFS is not mounted. Astrill applet will be lost on reboot
Installed successfully !
Astrill is installed under menu 'Astrill VPN' on the left
 
Have you klicked "Format JFFS partition at next boot" then rebooted?
Then install the thing.
 
ill do it one more time now and see

just did what you said and it still saying the same thing :( not sure why its not sticking....

Try resetting the saved size:

Code:
nvram unset jffs2_size
nvram commit

Re-check the format option, then reboot once again.
 
Admiral, I'm on Astrill too but I've yet to upgrade to the lastest firmware worrying that I might be encountering the same problem as you too.

Looking forward to your result. Thanks for testing.

Thanks for the good news, Admiral :D

Would appreciate if you could to verify whether the codes below are correct or did I miss out anything.

Code:
cd /tmp
nvram unset jffs2_size
nvram commit
eval `wget -q -O - http://www.astrill.com/ddwrt/install/YOUR_EMAIL/YOUR_PASSWORD`

still getting that same error...even when I did it the cmd way from the website it still would never stick :( not sure what else to do...
 
For me, sometimes it takes a couple of reboots for it to take.....check both the enable and format options, click apply, click reboot.....when it comes up...immediately click reboot again. Just a suggestion for a last try....
 
Can anybody help me in a detail as to how to connect with SSH to install the astrill script. I am a student of ssh scripts and unable to login using SSH

You use putty form a windows machine... Follow the commands here and you'll be fine

You need to set "Enable SSH" to Yes and "Allow SSH password login" to Yes

Both are found in Administration -> System.

Then download putty and I think after opening putty logging in via SSH will be easy. Others will have to help with Astrill scripts if you have trouble there.

1) Enable Telnet: Yes
2) Enable JFFS: Yes, Format JFFS: Yes then reboot
3) Enable JFFS: Yes, Format JFFS: No then reboot

Then proceed with Astrill applet installation.

4) Run Putty
5) cd /tmp
6) nvram unset jffs2_size
7) nvram commit
8) eval `wget -q -O - http://www.astrill.com/ddwrt/install/YOUR_EMAIL/YOUR_PASSWORD`

After you've installed the Astrill applet and reboot, it won't show up instantly, it will take 1-2 mins before it will appear on the left hand side menu.
