Problem

On hackday 1, we came across the problem that our internet connection was limited; one could only do http (80) and https (443).

The rest (ssh, rdp, vnc, pptp, etc.) was blocked.

Hack

PsychiC and Da Syntax bridged a laptop's wifi with a wired connection to an accesspoint.

created a public accessible accesspoint which tunneled traffic over a VPN to end up in the network of ACKspace.

update

Xopr bought a TP-Link TL703n, and 16MB flash + 64MB RAM. Da_syntax soldered the flash: now we can install OpenVPN!


(long term) solution

The idea is: use a semi-fancy router to create a fully fledged mobile spacenet accesspoint.

The router has to have:

  • dual radio, dual frequency (2.4GHz and 5GHz, WAN client, and LAN infrastructure)
  • vlan tagging (for routing multiple wired wan, might be optional)
  • nice bandwidth/throughput

The functionality:

  • VPN tunnel to ACKspace
  • SpaceNet
  • Battery operated or battery backup, like in the Guerilla VoIP box.
