Hi All,
Thanks for the introduction to the
peoplesopen.net on Saturday at the Omni
Commons BYOI
I've got one router and successfully flash the firmware, all good.
Unfortunately I couldn't yet find any close signal around my place, still
need to climb on the roof and point to some possible directions. I'll try
to buy the small antenna someone show me on the event. I'm sorry I can't
remember your names.
I'd be interested in patch my firmware, as I've heard that there is
potential bug that can make the node use my internet instead of the VPN.
I've tested the firmware connecting the router to my ISP, got two
peoplesopen open networks and my private secure network, also could
successfully
access the internet through the VPN.
A practical question, do you have plans to put a captive portal, splash
screen explaining the free internet access? perhaps some explanations on
privacy, security, liability? I'm happy to share free internet to my
surrounds, but would be great to share what's going on.
Another few questions,
Has anybody found a way to connect raspberry pis ad-hoc mode onto the
peoplesopen? do I need two wifi USB devices? or the RPIs has already dual
band? I'm very interested in the potential to add RPIs nodes to this
existing mesh network.
I came across this
https://nycmesh.net/meshberry/
And finally are the ESPs compatible with the mesh? can the ESPs talk to the
peoplesopen and also to others ESPs, this looks very interesting

Thanks
ps. I think would be better come to one of your sessions to discuss those
topics, right?
