I personally have rebuilt our old developer tunnel host here at my QTH, and it is WAY more stable than what it was on 0.4.3. The problem with 0.4.3 and tunneling was that the older OLSR did NOT like talking to multiple interfaces, and would crash every so often, requiring the watchdog to restart it. That was fixed in the OLSR included in 1.0.0. I have had our tunnel back up for about a month now, and it has yet to crash. We are using a different tunnel mechanism that what Johan is supplying info for. The GRE protocol is a bear to get to pass home routers, which most of us use here in the US, so we went back to our old scheme, which requires more flash and ram due to its bigger payload than SM7I's. I Myself and 2 others tried connecting using his info with little success, unless we out the nodes right out on the open internet (brrrr, gives me chills just thinking about it :-) )
We have a guy in the dev group that is sure he can recompile the original down to get rid of unneeded dependencies to let it fit onto regular WRT's, and I hope by the end of the year Ill have time to write up on its install. I have every version going back to 0.4.0 in my vault (I host the web site and do weekly backups :-) ). But I strongly suggest staying with 1.0.0. KTF
