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.
