Enable SSL

How can I enable SSL for the web admin gui? In an SSH-command line, run opkg update, then install the package opkg install luci-ssl, then restart the router. Then you can access https://192.168.1.1 or https://openwrt with your favorite web browser

Install useful packages

opkg update && opkg install luci-ssl-openssl luci-theme-material ipset curl diffutils speedtest-netperf kmod-ipt-nat6
