+===== Change repository =====
+The default repositories are set in file **/etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf**, they are GL-iNet customized of OpenWRT:
+<file>
+src/gz lede_core http://www.gl-inet.com/lede/ramips/2.264/packages/mt7628
+src/gz lede_base http://www.gl-inet.com/lede/ramips/2.264/packages/base
+src/gz lede_luci http://www.gl-inet.com/lede/ramips/2.264/packages/luci
+src/gz lede_packages http://www.gl-inet.com/lede/ramips/2.264/packages/packages
+src/gz lede_routing http://www.gl-inet.com/lede/ramips/2.264/packages/routing
+src/gz lede_telephony http://www.gl-inet.com/lede/ramips/2.264/packages/telephony
+src/gz lede_shadowsocks http://www.gl-inet.com/lede/ramips/2.264/packages/shadowsocks
+</file>
+As of September 2023 they are no longer in service, so we are unable to update or install new packages. A dirty hack can be to change the repository URLs with the following:
+<file>
+src/gz lede_core http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/17.01.7/targets/ramips/mt7628/packages
+src/gz lede_base http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/17.01.7/packages/mipsel_24kc/base
+src/gz lede_luci http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/17.01.7/packages/mipsel_24kc/luci
+src/gz lede_packages http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/17.01.7/packages/mipsel_24kc/packages
+src/gz lede_routing http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/17.01.7/packages/mipsel_24kc/routing
+src/gz lede_telephony http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/17.01.7/packages/mipsel_24kc/telephony
+</file>
+===== Installing a new package =====
+<code>
+opkg list-installed
+</code>
+<code>
+opkg update
+opkg list
+</code>
+E.g. to manage the OpenVPN connection through the LuCI web interface, install the following two packages:
+<code>
+opkg install luci-app-openvpn
+opkg install luci-i18n-openvpn-en
+</code>
+===== Starting OpenVPN =====
+**GL-iNet** added a custom service called **startvpn** which badly interacts witht the default OpenWRT **openvpn** service. If you don't want to interact with the simplified GL-iNet web interface, simply disable the **startvpn** service and manage only the OpenWRT default options:
+<code>
+/etc/init.d/startvpn disable
+/etc/init.d/openvpn enable
+/etc/init.d/openvpn start
+</code>
+The usual OpenVPN configuration files can be placed into the **/etc/openvpn/** directory. You can instruct OpenVPN to start the configuration by adding a section into **/etc/config/openvpn** (beware that the **hyphen** is allowd into OpenVPN configuration file, but it is **forbidden** into the OpenWRT name):
+<file>
+config openvpn 'my_openpvpn'
+        option enabled '1'
+        option config '/etc/openvpn/my-openvpn.conf'
+</file>
+If you want to be more sure that OpenVPN will start, enable it also into the GL-iNet custom configuration:
+<code>
+uci set glconfig.openvpn.enable=1
+uci commit glconfig
+</code>
+Verify that the option was saved into the **/etc/config/glconfig** config file, reading it or executing:
+<code>
+uci get glconfig.openvpn.enable
+</code>
