To anyone for me, I need your help. I failed opkg update on Raspberry Pi 4. root@OpenWrt:~# opkg update Downloading [https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/bcm27xx/bcm2711/packages/Packages.gz](https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/bcm27xx/bcm2711/packages/Packages.gz) Failed to send request: Operation not permitted \*\*\* Failed to download the package list from [https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/bcm27xx/bcm2711/packages/Packages.gz](https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/bcm27xx/bcm2711/packages/Packages.gz) .. .. .. I suspect proxy makes to fail update. My company has internal network and Proxy server for security. So I got below the proxy guideline for connecting external internet network. But, It is not for our OS, openwrt. [For Ubuntu, Debian, Mint] http\_proxy=http://MyCompanyProxyIPaddr:8080 https\_proxy="[http://MyCompanyProxyIPaddr:8080](http://MyCompanyProxyIPaddr:8080)" no\_proxy="127.0.0.1, localhost" [For CentOS, Fedora, Redhat] export http\_proxy="[http://MyCompanyProxyIPaddr:8080](http://MyCompanyProxyIPaddr:8080)" export https\_proxy="[http://MyCompanyProxyIPaddr:8080](http://MyCompanyProxyIPaddr:8080)" export no\_proxy="127.0.0.1, localhost" [Register Certificate] sudo mkdir /usr/share/ca-certificates/MyCompany sudo cp MyCompanyCerti.crt /usr/share/ca-certificates/MyCompany/ sudo dpkg-reconfigure ca-certificates sudo update-ca-certificates Same process to /etc/ssl/cert So, How can I solve this issue? Do you have any other commands to replace sudo, dpkg-reconfigure, update-ca-certificates and so on? Thank you. ---

check out the opkg proxy settings > **[Opkg Package Manager](https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/additional-software/opkg#proxy_support)** > > Opkg Package Manager Like most Linux distributions (or mobile device operating systems like say Android or iOS), the functionality of the system can be upgraded rather significantly by downloading and installing pre-made packages from package... ---

Thank you to reply for me. I refer "Proxy Support" on this page for setting proxy. but, I can't find to register certificates. I found same result by only setting "Proxy Support". " Failed to send request: Operation not permitted " Just I think.. must have to register certificates. Do you have any other openwrt commands to replace sudo, dpkg-reconfigure, update-ca-certificates? ---

w/o having access to any openWRT device at the moment, you should be able to check where owrt stores the certificates, and add yours. ---

I found below things for openwrt on Raspberry Pi 4. **OpenWrt does not support "https\_proxy".** I set Proxy option in /etc/opkg.conf and then enter opkg update. (refer to [https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/additional-software/opkg#proxy\_support](https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/additional-software/opkg#proxy_support)) But, failed. So, I change package download link address in my openwrt. Changing from "https://" to "http://" in "/etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf" "opkg update" is successful. Not Good but OK. If you want to look specific status of opkg, hit "opkg --verbosity=3 update" ``` Downloading http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/bcm27xx/bcm2711/packages/Packages.gz opkg_download: Setting environment variable: http_proxy = http://MyCompanyProxyServerIP/. opkg_download: Setting environment variable: no_proxy = 127.0.0.1, localhost Collected errors: * opkg_conf_set_option: Unrecognized option: https_proxy=http://MyCompanyProxyServerIP/ ``` Thank you ---

ok, so the cert wasn't for authenticating to the proxy, but for https to work 🙂 ---
