Installation

Method 1: One-Line Installer

The fastest way to install on a running OpenWrt device:

curl -fsSL https://packages.dial0ut.org/install.sh | sh

The installer detects your package manager (opkg or apk), queries it for your CPU architecture, downloads the matching package from the latest GitHub release, and installs it.

Method 2: Manual Package Install

Find Your Architecture

opkg print-architecture

The highest-priority line (largest number in the third column) is your architecture. For example:

arch all 1
arch noarch 1
arch aarch64_cortex-a53 10

Here the architecture is aarch64_cortex-a53.

apk --print-arch

This prints your architecture directly, e.g. aarch64.

Download and Install

Download the .ipk or .apk for your architecture from GitHub Releases, then install:

# Transfer to router
scp nym-vpn_*.ipk root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/

# Install on router
opkg install /tmp/nym-vpn_*.ipk

# Transfer to router
scp nym-vpn_*.apk root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/

# Install on router
apk add --allow-untrusted /tmp/nym-vpn_*.apk

Post-Install

Verify Installation

# Check daemon is running
/etc/init.d/nym-vpnd status

# Check CLI is available
nym-vpnc status

Access LuCI Interface

Navigate to your router's web interface (typically http://192.168.1.1) and look for NymVPN in the navigation menu.
