Hi all I'm having trouble post installation with piratebox.
I am using my raspberry pi with the image from the download
page based on arch Linux. I can connect to the box via ssh
and the web interface through the WiFi hotspot from my laptop,
But can only connect to the WiFi hotspot on android and iOS
and not the web interface(I try and input the address manually here too).
The web interface is only accessible from piratebox.lan/content
which I have to manually put into my browser
on my laptop which is suggestive that the redirect
to it isn't working what would I need to do to sort this out?
Also irc chat isn't working out of the box plus disk usage
isnt showing either. The forum and file sharing are working.

I have been through troubleshooting page, FAQ and the config
Files on the piratebox I now need to ask for help anything would
be greatly appreciated smiling smiley thanks.

Hi,
sounds strange.

Do you have any plugins in your mobile device blocking Javascript?
Do you have a custom DNS entry?
Did you try
Language: PHP
http://piratebox.lan

Did you any other custom changes on the archlinux based box?

which image did you use?

BTW: Moving this over to the raspberryPi category

Just wondering, what browser are you using and what url? If google is your homepage and you are in chrome, the IPs are hard coded in the browser to keep anyone from spoofing them. Similar with Apple I believe.

Theoreticly you could create a virtual interface for your Wlan0 and give it an IP that on the open internet would be associated with a google server.... give you another entry point and bypass the security warning... (Concept only, have not tested this.)
