Install blue-merle and randomize IMEI on GL-E750 Mudi
The GL-E750 Mudi is an LTE router. It's particularly interesting because of built-in featues like VPN and Tor support.
And with blue-merle there exists an extension to change the routers IMEI number, which allows to re-use the router for providing anonymous internet.
Install blue-merle
- Update the Mudi to latest firmware, at least 3.215.
- Get SSH console access to the Mudi. See upstream docs for details.
- Update opkg package list:
# opkg update
- Download blue-merle installation package from Github:
# curl -LO https://github.com/srlabs/blue-merle/releases/download/v1.0/blue-merle_1.0.0-1_mips_24kc.ipk
- Install blue-merle:
opkg install blue-merle*.ipk
- If the installation stops with “Your MCU version has not been verified to work with blue-merle.”
- Answer the question “Would you like to update your MCU?” with “y” and wait until the Mudi is shutdown.
- Restart the Mudi.
- Repeat steps “Update opkg package list” and “Install blue-merle”.
Change IMEI
- Login to your Mudi via SSH.
- Start blue-merle:
# blue-merle
- Follow the instructions. It's particularly important to change your location in between the SIM & IMEI change to protect against correlation matching.
