• Mesh network first node

  Https://libremesh.org/ is interesting, but it only really works if the devices is close enough to each other and either way, you will need a gateway to the rest of the internet. Source: over 2 years ago

• Software that automatically makes your router part of mesh network?

  Few routers are supported and widespread ad-hoc mesh networking remains mostly a pipe dream at this point. You can find a few attempts to do what you're asking for such as commotion and libremesh but they are just attempts and require significant planning put into the layout and configuration of the network which largely defeats your reason for wanting mesh networking. Like I said, there is little router support... Source: over 2 years ago

• Incentive for running mesh networks and becoming an ISP

  Today I head about mesh networks (https://libremesh.org/ or https://librerouter.org/) in a comment on r/ipfs. Source: about 3 years ago

• IPFS is decentralized but not independent? Thus can be censored?

  IPFS is a solution on the software side for hardware check out https://libremesh.org/ or https://librerouter.org/. Source: about 3 years ago

• VyOS From Scratch – Edition 1 (set up your own router)

  Might be worth adding a paragraph about what VyOS is, maybe not for the target audience but certainly for HN. https://vyos.io/ The VyOS website says: > Democratizing how we access networks through a universal Router and Open source software. > Our vision at VyOS is to dramatically change how we access networks so that we can all build the solutions we always dreamed of, without restrictions, limitations, or... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• VyOS is the next-generation network operating system

  VyOS is the next-generation network operating system that’s revolutionizing the way businesses manage their networks. With its powerful tools and intuitive interface, VyOS makes it easy to manage and configure even the most complex networks.

• Advice for a high school networking lab

  VyOS https://vyos.io/ is my go-to for open source CLI focused router platform. Configuration syntax is similar to that of Juniper. I believe as an educational institution you would qualify for free LTS images from them. They’re super friendly to reach out to, and seems like they’re still actively developing some really cool features. They do support WiFi interfaces, among many others. Pretty decent online docs too!

• linux network project ideas

  There's VyOS if that's what you're looking for? If you want to do everything from scratch, just use Debian/Ubuntu and configure all the components individually. Source: about 1 year ago

• VPN Site to SIte (Fortigate or Asus)

  If you absolutely have to do your homelab experiments in production, at least do it properly. Get some decent hardware (I just got a pair of these, they are fun: https://www.pcengines.ch/apu2.htm) and install something like https://vyos.io/ or opnsense or ipfire or something. Then you might actually learn something, plus in my experience these much more stable than cheapass consumer crap. Source: over 1 year ago
