On OpenWrt I noticed that there are some basic configurations that are impossible to apply via GUI. I’ll give you two examples:
- By default, OpenWrt has the HTTP and HTTPS services enabled on all network interfaces.
But what if I only want HTTPS? What if I want to change the digital certificate? What if I want to enable HTTPS only on a specific router interface? For all these basic configurations, which menu should I go to? I checked under System → Administration → HTTP(S) Access, but in this section there’s nothing, only this:
Does this mean I’m forced to do everything via the CLI? I believe it’s the same for the OpenVPN service. in VPN → OpenVPN, there’s nothing related to this either.
- Another menu that doesn’t show commonly used options is the DHCP configuration on an interface. In Network → Interfaces → IF_NAME → DHCP Server there’s nothing that lets me specify an IP address pool.
I wanted to know if all this is normal, or if something is wrong with my OpenWrt GUI.
Here’s my firmware version (the device is a Flint2):
OpenWrt 24.10.2 r28739-d9340319c6 / LuCI openwrt-24.10 branch 25.222.74622~4d26a4d
