borrrrrring oooh well, i had this idea since the summer of 2010
when some guys where sniffing my wireless connection and troubled my wireless router. sucks. and when the trouble goes on and on you have to solve it . a year passed since then .
advantages of the wireless technology : LESS WIRES
disadvantages : everything else (low bandwidth/ objects standing in the way of a wireless router affects the bandwith/unexpected disconnects for a key renegociation and many more different hacking techniques ). it just sucks . and the most is this >> or google for more and more.;)
ok . now . once upon a time after highschool there were some dudes talking about some things and a thing called VPN . this VPN thing was made for securing a connection between two hosts making it very very private using different encryption methods , some weaker , some stronger but believe me much much stronger than the ones offered by and wireless router , those so called WEP or WPA2 .
so , why not use it for an wireless environment ? oh yes indeed . to make it work you will spend some time and you will get quite nice results , but it’s like knitting a sweater by hand for days and not many of us have that time .
some theory the bulshit part , project infrastructure or however you want to call it.
there are 3 VPN technologies . PPTP / L2TP / IPSec . google for each . the best of all is an IPSec Tunnel . OK !!! .
also there are several VPN topologies . one is host to client , cisco names it “remote access vpn” , others name it a ” Roadwarrior VPN “. another one is host to host , or like cisco names it “site to site vpn” . if we add some bullshit about intranet vpn and extranet vpn then we can write books and publish it , we all know that it ’sells’ good ! .
i would really like to talk more about the vpn technology but my slang english does not permit me to do this , despite the time i have :p . to understand the vpn technology you should/must read the CCNP v5 part 2 “IPSec VPNs” (very well explained ) and Openswan book .
here is the Wireless VPN setup .
{1}pc client 1 —–\
{1}pc client 2 ——>———-{2}Wireless Router—————>{3}Openswan VPN Server .
{1}pc client 3 —–/
tools needed >>
hardware : computer-desktop-client{1}; any wireless router{2} available on market that can run openwrt ; computer acting as server{3} that runs any linux distribution .
software :
on Windows client – OpenText Socks client ( to socksify an application and use the internet connection :d ); webdrive (an intelligent stylish ftp client used for “file-sharing” > you will see later what is this about ;) ) ; greenbow Vpn Client ( the only vpn client around that works well , have impressive options like GINA mode and many more > trust me !)
on Linux server – fresh new compiled kernel ; openswan daemon/service ; ftp daemon ; socks server ; and whatever additional services you would like to run ….
now arm yourself with a lot of patience !!!
