I found procedure explained below on JDownloader official forum once, but I never managed to find it again, so all credits go to the original contributor. But, I did modify it a bit to make it a bit easier to understand so I hope you'll give me some credits for it too.
OK, so here is what you'll need to do to make reconnect work on your dd-wrt router:
- Get your self PuTTY, plink and PuTTYgen from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
- Use PuTTYgen to gernerate yourself a private / public key pair and save them
- Open PuTTY.exe and create a new session named "router"
- Set the Loginname to root (Connection->Data), Identity private key file (Connection->SSH->Auth), and the router's IP address (Connection)
- Save the session
- Now open a browser and go to the router admin page -> select Services tab
- Activate secure shell
- Disable secure shells password login
- Paste the content of public key into the Authorized Keys field (from field "Public key for pasting into OpenSSH authorized_keys file")
- Press "Apply Settings" button on the bottom of the page
- Create a new bat file reconnect.bat (you can create it in any folder, but I find it handy to be in the same folder as JDownloader is installed) and paste the following code:
plink.exe -load router startservice wan
- After you've completed all the steps above, open JDownloader go Settings -> Reconnect
- Choose External as reconnect method and set it to the reconnect.bat you've created before (make sure you choose the right folder where your reconnect.bat is located)
- Before you actually invoke reconnect.bat from JDownloader, make sure you manually start reconnect.bat because plink.exe will for sure need a certain interaction from you befor you use it for the first time (signature related). If you use your computer on more than one dd-wrt powered router, you'll need to repeat this step each time you switch to another router. Also this is a point where you'll easily discover if your firewall is (potentially) blocking plink.exe (you'll need to allow plink.exe if you want this method to work for you).
- If you get error saying "Disconnected: no supported authentication methods available", this means you haven't typed in your public key in the right way in router config. So if a PuTTY Public key looks like (when you edit it with ie. Notepad):
Comment: "rsa-key-YYYMMDD"
yourgeneratedkeycontentgoesheresothisisjustimaginarysetofcharacters
---- END SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ----
- You shouldn't copy/paste that, rather you need to run puttygen.exe and load your PuTTY Private Key.ppk (or whaterer filename you've saved your key to), afterwards you'll see a field named "Public key for pasting into OpenSSH authorized_keys file" containing text which will look something like this (regarding to above key example):
yourgeneratedkeycontentgoesheresothisisjustimaginarysetofcharacters rsa-key-YYYYMMDD
- Select all of the text displayed in form named "Public key for pasting into OpenSSH authorized_keys file" and paste it into your router's config.
- Press "Apply Settings" and you're ready to go!
