OpenWRT on Teltonika RUT240

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

So here is my situation,

I just bought 5 of these Teltonika RUT240's for a good price. I need a way to run a VPN or have remote LAN access behind these devices, and behind CGNat.

Usually I would use Tailscale, but I cannot install Tailscale on this device with the stock Teltonika FW. I then tried to use ZeroTier however I can only use ZeroTier in RELAY mode as my mobile provider does not support UDP hole punching from my understanding. Therefore, my latency with ZeroTier is somewhere between 300 ~ 500ms. This is just not going to work for me.

That leaves me pretty much out of options. So my next best bet is to install OpenWRT on these and then install Tailscale that way,

However, I cannot find any release for the Teltonika RUT240. I was expecting to be able to find a snapshot but cannot find anything.

Does anyone know if these device is supported? Or have any other ideas?

Thanks

They are supported in snapshot, either waut for 24.10.3 (ehan the device appears in stable release notes0 or install snapshot (add luci package list to save stress)

(230 and 240 are the same)

According to firmware selector the rut240 and the rut230 are the same hardware internally, so the rut230 image will work.

Thanks, I actually tried flashing that image, but I get this error.

Read the commit message carefully - you have to update from recovery webserver, not the normal one.

Ah ok my apologies, I did not see that!

Thanks I will give that a go!

you were given the same link, twice (sure, one of them didn't work), but you still failed to read it ?

Damn ok I installed it but there is no opkg.

Does this need to be installed manually on the SNAPSHOTS?

Openwrt snapshots use apk.

Jealous, are we ?

Congrats, you installed the SNAPSHOT when you were asked to install release. Re-read the thread.

Sorry im a little confused,

Am I using the SNAPSHOT image, but downloading the sysupgrade rather then factory.

I dont see anything in the git article advising which one to use.

Damn, not only are you rude, you're a shitty reader too ..

navigate to
192.168.1.1. Upload the OpenWrt factory image.

root@OpenWrt:~# opkg
-ash: opkg: not found

Should I install this one, it just doesnt state that its compatible with the 240, where the snapshot does.

You were already told there's no opkg in the snapshots.

You were also told the 230 and 240 share the same image.

Again, what's the problem?
