New subject: PON down - update
Hey Everyone -
As you probably know, the exit node of the People's Open Network (PON)
has been malfunctioning for about a week now, causing the network from
behaving properly.
We've been gathering evidence here https://github.com/sudomesh/bugs/iss
ues/8 and are trying to reproduce the issue in an isolated environment.
This involves setting up an exit node from scratch.
I am making slow progress despite help from others because I am
learning as I go, trying to document my progress in reproducible setup
scripts at https://github.com/jhpoelen/exitnode . If this leads to
anything, I am hoping we can consolidate this with the existing
(outdated) documentation and incorporate into our growing collection of
guides.
If you feel inspired to help with this, please don't hesitate to reach
out to me or any other member familiar with the setup.
What I am learning from this is that sharing knowledge (incl. nuts and
bolts) about how PON works is probably more important than PON itself.

New subject: PON down - update
Hey y'all -
We've made some progress today in troubleshooting the Peoples Open
Network outage issue.
I found the BYOI office hours today real useful to figure more of this
exitnode stuff out, and run some tests.
Here's some things that happened today:
1. Using a script "create_exitnode.sh", an exit node was creating on a
digital ocean droplet in < 5min (see https://github.com/jhpoelen/exitno
de)
2. At least three nodes (two at sudoroom and one at someones house)
were able to tunnel and mesh through the "test" exit node using <https:
//github.com/jhpoelen/exitnode/#configure-home-node-to-use-exit-node>.
3. Shared results with exit.sudomesh.org operators Juul and Yar via htt
ps://github.com/sudomesh/bugs/issues/8
Am hoping to bundle the steps to create an exitnode into a guide of
sorts that helps to build a PON-like network from scratch.
I imagine we can use this guide internally for sharing how stuff works
and for troubleshooting. Other folks can use it as a example of how to
build a mesh network with VPN-like tunneling.
So, if you don't want to wait any longer for the exitnode to get going,
you can always (temporarily) create your own . . .
Curious to hear thoughts / comments,
thx,

New subject: PON back up, provisionally - help wanted
Hey y'all -
It appears that the People's Open Network outage has ended.
In an attempt to understand why PON was misbehaving,
I've learned a lot about tunnels
(<https://github.com/sudomesh/tunneldigger-lab>) and meshing protocols
(<https://github.com/sudomesh/babeld-lab>),
collaborated with a bunch of friendly people,
re-wrote a script to create an exit node (see <https://github.com/sudom
esh/exitnode> ),
wrote a guide draft to setup and troubleshoot an exit node (see <https
://github.com/sudomesh/exitnode#installation>),
and helped others to create at least four new (test) exit nodes on
digital ocean/ ubuntu 16.04.3.
After all this, it finally became apparent that the reason for the PON
outage is a simple one, namely <https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9843
481/> .
It turned out that we all relied on an l2tp (what is that?) bug in
order for our VPN (aka tunneldigger) to work. Last year, unfortunately,
someone fixed the bug which, in turn, brought (parts of) our network
down.
If you are interested to learn more, please see <https://github.com/sud
omesh/bugs/issues/8> .
How can *you* help?
1. check to see if your peoplesopen ssid/wifi connects to the "big"
internet.
2. help create patches for existing home nodes (see <https://github.com
/sudomesh/bugs/labels/node%20patch%20pending>).
3. help upgrade our tunneldigger and deploy a test exit node to digital
ocean using <https://github.com/sudomesh/exitnode>, also see <https://g
ithub.com/sudomesh/tunneldigger/issues/8>gt;.
4. build your own Open Network by creating an exit node and configuring
your nodes to use it, see <https://github.com/sudomesh/exitnode> .
...
42. donate https://peoplesopen.net/donate .
If you'd like to share/contribute, but don't now how, please holler on
this mailing list or stop by on Sundays 1p at BYOI office hours at
Omni.
thx,
