Indeed! My recent Pi projects include using a Pi 4 that's mounted in a box on the wall of my laundry room and has a vibration sensor connected to my dryer. It sends a Telegram group message to the family to alert them that the dryer's ready to be unloaded. Another I just did this week used a Pi 4 as a networked console server for a switch that's on a different floor of my house (ie not connected to my existing AirConsole device). So many fun projects to be done with a Pi, especially now that the Pi 4 is such a capable little thing (8G RAM, 64-bit CPU, etc.).

@nunoaguiar2525 2 года назад

I actually switched around the use of each wireless device. Since the internal wireless of the Raspberry PI is weaker than the external wireless device, I used that for the connecting devices and the external wireless to connect to whatever public wifi is available since it has a wider range.

@michaelcarey 2 года назад

Excellent tutorial Chuck. I configured my "vacation router" a little differently. Rather than use a commercial VPN service, my Dual Wifi enabled Raspberry Pi connects back to an L2TP VPN server running on my home router (Mikrotik). This not only tunnels my families devices safely, it also allows me to access all of my devices at home as if I was still sitting at home. It makes me look like I am still sitting at home accessing the internet as usual. This helps when your online services get a "upset" when you try to log in from a different IP address.

What is the benefit of using RPi as router? Like on a road trip if i use RPi as a router and connect all family members to RPi but obviously for that RPi first need to connect to the wifi network.

Nice tutorial! 2 things that would have been nice to show. 1- Swapping wi-fi to another config to simulate going to another hotel/place 2 - Handling a captive wi-fi setup requiring some form of authentication to get started. A lot of places require this before you get any traffic to flow and it would definitely require temporarily disabling the VPN and perhaps even taking the wi-fi provided DNS offered by the guest DHCP. 3 - A bonus would have been using wireguard as the VPN protocol. Maybe a follow up?

Here's a video idea for you: "You need to learn VIM RIGHT NOW" Most linux admins / engineers use vim. The first thing I was taught as a linux admin was how to use vim. And once I switched over to vim from nano, I can't imagine using nano anymore.

@TuxWing 2 года назад

Gentoo Linux defaults to nano, but I install vi(m) and remove nano before I even have a working system.

@ISBayHudson 2 года назад

IMO particularly if you are looking at a career where a *nix type OS will be used - from my experience the command 'vi' will always be available (Linux, Solaris, BSD, OLD unix stuff and embeded) where as newer Linux distributions probably have nano.... some older ones maybe pico :D FYI if the whole 'wq' thing is weird, that refers to the commands w(rite) and q(uit).

I've been wondering, it would make sense to combine both functions in one box. And I'm thinking of Docker. I'd like to know your opinion, and do you think it would better to install Raspbian, then Docker and run OpenWRT on that?

I was looking into buying a vpn router and wasn't quite satisfied with my search results and I thought I could set it up my self on my raspberry pi. Thanks to this guide of course that got me excited and motivated enough to actually do it. I use Proton VPN and the latest install of OpenWrt which is 21.01 at the time of this writing. I ran into some issues and followed docs directly on the OpenWrt support site and ProtonVPN + some googling of course. There are slightly different turns you need to take when setting up Proton VPN's openvpn configs so I pointed that below as well. Summary of changes: 1. Wireless Config Deprecated Options: - hwmode is now called 'band'. - "option disabled" doesn't get added by default when you plug in the wireless adapter. Although leaving out will actually enable it per OpenWrt doc, but that caused issues of it constantly going down so I just added. It worked like a charm - "option channel" seems to work better when you change it from what it's orginally defaulting to. Did it for both radio0 and radio1 2. Openvpn settings (Proton VPN): - vpn config file and ikev2 username & password are different than your login creds. You can retrieve that from your account settings - You will upload that directly into to OpenWrt and most config will be in place. The only thing I needed to do is add the ikev2 username and password in the GUI box specified in the "edit" section of the openvpn config aread (GUI). Use the first line for the username and second line for the password. ProtonVPN has a guide on how to set it up with OpenWrt (Google How to set up ProtonVPN on OpenWRT routers) Nevertheless, this guide's workflow is sound and it got me in the right direction. My coworker were quite mesmerized when I pulled out my raspberry pi and said " and without a further ado, meet my vpn router" LOL! Hey Check, Can you top this video with how to set up aTor client on Linux OpenWrt?

@gmc9753 2 года назад

One major problem I foresee is -- what happens if the public wifi has a login/registration/payment page? I suppose you could temporarily set your computer's wireless MAC to the same MAC as the Raspberry Pi, login to the public wifi through your computer, change the MAC back to the original, and then boot the Raspberry Pi router and use it.

@@DanishNaseer1 absolutely, the reason for this is because the RPi is automatically connected with VPN, hence all traffic that goes over a network (which is also shared with complete strangers) is encrypted and much more secure. You do need a VPN to connect to, of course. Before I had this, I too was directly connected to a hotel wifi. What happened was that someone in the hotel sniffed my Netflix credentials, so I received multiple login notifications, that I didn't know of. By using the encrypted connection of the RPi between my devices and the open wifi, all connected devices are automatically using encrypted traffic, making it much safer.

The VPN tunneling will help with my regional streaming services, fantastic! One of the biggest issues I've found is the use of captive portals at hotels etc, they can be a pain, constantly being timed out and re-registering to some, I think a regular scheduled ping can resolve this. But it's logging in with the router, there is no login page on the router itself, so I'm wondering if I should log in using my phone or laptop and then clone my MAC address on the router?

@@billc4303 Check if your card reader supports SDHC (> 4GB) and otherwise you can write the image to a 4 gig card and then copy that card to a bigger one before you first boot. You can also use an imager like Balena Etcher which supports more than the Rpi imager. OpenWRT dopesn't need much though. Default is a 100 MB partition size. You need to resize the partition with a partition manager to make it bigger, which is recommended. But 1 Gig really is enough for a lot of things. Also, 1 GB of memory is more than enough for OWRT. But you can't get a Pi with less than 2 GB now.

@johntetreault 2 года назад

I'd think it would be better to do the wifi interfaces opposite.... USB wifi with the antenna connect to public wifi .. because you will be more distant from the public wifi access point, so the external antenna will ensure a better more reliable connection. Since you're going to be very close to your pi, use it's internal wifi to provide wifi to all your nearby devices... Being in close proximity, they will do just fine off the built in pcb based antenna.

@chaosen3 Год назад

I believe at step 5 when you are making changes to radio0 you are changing the hwmode from AC wifi to b/g/n wifi, hence why there is a need to change the channel to 7 as well as changing the htmode (VHT80 = 80MHz - usually for 5GHz wifi). From my own experiences openWRT doesn't like radio0 using 5GHz 80MHz on a PI 3B+/4B (might be fixed on the 4B at this time of writing though). You may also find that the Internet speeds when connected to the wifi network (that is also connected to NordVPN via OpenVPN) aren't the best. I believe you can make these changes by the GUI to radio0 directly as even one typo when doing config by CLI can cause your Pi to become inaccessible in some cases. I've actually figured out how to do this on Pi OS 64-bit since I wanted to be able to use AC wifi on both network interfaces (access point and wifi client), non kernel supported USB wifi adapters, Wireguard connection to PIA VPN and a python app using flask to host a web page that can be used to connect to other wireless networks using a browser. It sounds like a lot but honestly it's quite easy to set up and can be configured in different ways.

Hey i am not seeing htmode and only band in my rafio0

@NormanLyon 2 года назад

I've been seeing relatively high latency on the built-in pi wifi. It doesn't matter if it's OpenWrt or Raspberry Pi OS. ICMP ping shows roughly 0.6-0.7 ms if checking ethernet, but wifi ranges from 3-4ms. If I replace my OpenWRT pi with an OLD OpenWRT router, wifi there becomes 1ms. The pi's high latency ends up reducing my usable bandwidth over TCP due to window sizing/acknowledgements on appliances where I can't tune window sizes. Are you seeing similar latencies with the onboard wifi vs USB, or what else should I look at to debug my local latencies?

@brentgreeff1115 2 года назад

Nice feedback - I wonder also, - what is the value in this at all? - is this just to offload the encryption onto the Pi instead of doing it on each connected device? - I just bought a 4G Archer MR400 Dual-band 4G LTE router, - and its pretty awesome for traveling, - avoiding crappy hotel wifi. - I guess I could plug a Pi in via ethernet, - but I am pretty impressed with the Archer - its initial connection speed when opening my laptop is instant and there are no drop-outs. - it was built to order.

@JamesDurand_TinMan 2 года назад

This was my first thought as well. Most hotels I've stayed at recently all have a captive portal which would make solving that problem a must if this is going to be useful. After doing some quick poking it doesn't seem like you can do that directly with this. You would need to connect to the network and get past the captive portal on your phone/laptop/whatever first and then close the mac address of that device onto the Raspberry Pi to trick the network into thinking the Raspberry Pi was the one that connected 😕

@JamesDurand_TinMan 2 года назад

Hmm a remote Chrome session might be a good solution. The main problem I could see with using Lynx would be those annoying portals that require you to watch a video or have some other ad experience. They probably wouldn't work well in Lynx.

@JamesDurand_TinMan 2 года назад

That's a fair point, I'm not sure. My suspicion is it is needed though given that there are many similar guides to this one that do talk about the captive portal being an issue.

@eyesofnova 2 года назад

in your Openwrt config you forced 802.11g as the default connection and HT20 means you're forcing a 20mhz spectrum, using channel 7, while disabling shortguard for 40mhz spectrum. After the setup is done, I'd try and use 802.11n on there instead by switching the 11g to 11n. HT20 will work but it won't be as fast as it can go but it won't run into as many issues since it narrows the band to 20mhz. Short_gi 40 0 means you're disabling the short guard for 40mhz but it might be better to change that to short_gi 20 1 to improve throughtput speeds. If you're in an area with little to no wifi networks, then ht40 should work fine with short_gi 40 1.
