Hi @pad0815

Can you check if the /jffs/scripts directory exists, maybe also list its contents?

[pad0815]

Hi, yes, there is a file named "nordvpn-updater.sh"

User@RT-AX92U-FB50:/tmp/home/root# ls /jffs/scripts/ nordvpn-updater.sh

In the content of the file there is a note of the requirement of jp ... is this the problem? And when, which version i need?

Thanks for your help!

[Caleb9]

No, the problem is that a file named /jffs/scripts/services-start doesn't exist, which is a bit weird. For example in my case the /jffs/scripts directory contains the following files:

ddns-start           nordvpn-updater.sh   service-event        services-stop
dnsmasq.postconf     post-mount           services-start       update-notification

You could maybe try to disable and enable again the "Administration -> System -> Enable JFFS custom scripts and configs" in the router's web UI, and see if the file gets created? Remember to click "Apply" after you disable it and then again when you enable it.

If that doesn't work, and the file is still missing, you can also try to create it manually:

echo "#!/bin/bash" > /jffs/scripts/services-start
chmod 755 /jffs/scripts/services-start

and retry the install script, but I'm not 100% certain if this will work if something else is different / missing in the system :S.

Let me know how it goes :).

Okay, the required files do not appear, so i generate it as you describe and the installation was working! :)

Great!!! Thank you very much!

I will test the reconnect in the next time, but it looks good :+1:

[Caleb9]

Great! :)

There's one thing left to do though. Please check if the script is still scheduled to run every 2 hours after restarting the router - preserving this is the whole point of services-start file. You can do it by issuing the following command (after restart):

cru l | grep nordvpn

If this command outputs something, then you're all good, but if its output is empty, that means that the schedule was removed during reboot, and that the services-start file doesn't work as it should.

Hi, I think it is working correctly!? :D

User@RT-AX92U-FB50:/tmp/home/root# cru l | grep nordvpn 00 */2 * * * /bin/sh /jffs/scripts/nordvpn-updater.sh wgc3 > /var/log/nordvpn-updater-wgc3.log 2>&1 #nordvpn-updater-wgc3#

Great!! I am astonished :) it's working very well!

Thank you very much for the script, i am exuberantly happy!!

After some troubles with my Vilfo Router I am searching an alternative and i think, this could be the first proper one.
