Hi, Following on from our earlier discussions about creating macvlan links and VPN in general; I've made some progress but also hit a new snag.
So macvlan first. I've successfully managed to make macvlan links using the code on the Raspberry Pi Forum. However, by then, I'd got interested in using wireguard as suggested by Ralph, mainly because I could see no reason why OpenVPN appeared to be breaking nodogsplash. So if it should turn out that iptables clashes are a problem, I think I have a way out of that. Anyway, since I couldn't work out what OpenVPN had done to my previous installation, I built a new SD Card with nothing but the latest Raspberry Pi OS installed and basic configuration completed. I then attempted to follow the tutorial at the bottom of the page at https://www.electromaker.io/tutorial/blog/raspberry-pi-vpn-server This proved not so easy because their are one or two errors on that page, but I got as far as the actual install without major issues. However, when I ran: sudo apt install wireguard the installation proceeded without error until just before the end when I got: ln: failed to create hard link '/boot/initrd.img-5.6.0-2rt-armmp.dpkg-bak' => '/boot/initrd.img-5.6.0-2-rt-armmp': Operation not permitted I tried uninstalling the package and running the install again. This time there was no error, but when I ran the next step: lsmod | grep wireguard there was no output. I then tried: modprobe wireguard and got: modprobe: FATAL: Module wireguard not found in directory /lib/modules/5.4.44- v7+ (It wouldn't be of course, as I later realised, because there is another directory in lib/modules called 5.6.0-2-rt-armmp. However the wireguard module doesn't seem to be in there either.) Any thoughts on what is going on here? -- Terry Coles -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2020-07-07 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
