I want to install custom openvpn ipk, need to be able to ssh.

Also is the luci interface still there on port 80 or 443 ?

Can ssh root@192.168.3.14 (password being whatever you set via the PiFi app during first-time setup)

LuCI should be port 80, yeah!

Have you tried to ssh

Yes, I use SSH every day when developing the firmware

From the screenshot your are ssh root@192.168.178.54 - did you update the default LAN IP in the app updating it from the default?

If not then it’s ssh root@192.168.3.14

Things to watch for:

  • The default LAN IP is 192.168.3.14 (so therefore ssh root@192.168.3.14)
  • PiFi must have been set up via the app so that an SSH password is set (admin password it’s called in the app)
  • The ethernet cable is default WAN so if cable connection from Pi to laptop (for example) that wouldn’t be right. Instead, you would connect to the wireless access point - e.g PiFi 4 Setup (default password RaspberryPi314 unless already personalized the access point in the app with your own SSID/Password on your device and then SSH)
  • Other ways to install packages is PiFi App > Settings > More Settings > LuCI > (LuCI > System > Software (update lists / then install whichever package you want)
