optware + vpnc possible?

[Eet_46]

Hi! I'm new here and i'm quite new to the router flashing world in general, so i was hoping for some good advice



I've been posting on the dd-wrt and tomato forums aswell, but i'm still not there yet...



I have an Asus RT-AC56U, which i'm trying to get connected to a cisco vpn provider, which uses the ipsec protocol with xauth..



This means i need vpnc running and would then be running a startup script, to establish the vpn connection.



My question is, is it possible to install optware (i've seen a quick tutorial for the AC68U, so i guess it applies to the AC56U aswell), then vpnc and run the connection script on Merlin firmware?



Right now i'm on dd-wrt (no vpnc in any builds for my router it seems), but i'm stuck on installing optware, ipkg won't update - repository doesn't exist..



Thanks!



EDIT:



I THINK i managed to get vpnc installed, i'm about to test it out



But that brings me to next question.. I need to run a connection script, which i have to put on the jffs partition as i understand..

So, i created a script in the /jffs/scripts folder, but what should it be called? If i understand correctly, i need to name it after when the script must be run, my guess would be init-start for this script?? But i have no clue what would make it work..



Here's the script:

mkdir -p /tmp/etc/vpnc

rm -f /tmp/etc/vpnc/vpnc.sh

echo '

#!/bin/sh

vpn_concentrator="signon1.beevpn.com"

vpn_keepalive_host1="217.15.175.65"

vpn_groupname="beevpn"

vpn_grouppasswd="beecustomer"

vpn_username="" ##enter your username here

vpn_password="" ##enter your password here
