Gl-inet ar 150

Please guys I want to order four of this devices, I am aware it supports pirate box but I would want the wan port of this device to allow internet traffic to flow to my pirate box clients. So I plug internet cable through my wan and pirate box and my client connects

Either PirateBox or Route Wifi traffic.
With a working internet forwarding, the "redirect all" feature of PirateBox will not be working. We also have several work-arounds active, which are in conflict with normal internet routing.

You can play around with the that command [piratebox.cc] , but at the end PirateBox will not forward needed DNS requests from wifi clients.

Thanks I also have a local server that serves a website I want pirate box and the local server to work together. I don't mind pirate box not redirecting.

Then, you need to change the dnsmasq configuration of piratebox.

1. Edit /opt/piratebox/conf/dnsmasq_default.conf
2. remove the lines

#dont use resolv.conf
no-resolv
#dont recheck resolv.conf for changes
no-poll

3. add

resolv-file /tmp/resolv.conf.auto

(resolv.conf.auto is written by the WAN connection).

After that run

/etc/init.d/piratebox restart

Now, it sould work like a normal router with DNS.
Let me know if that works out. I wrote this on top of my head (and source).. If that works, I'll add a note on piratebox.cc about that.

Can I be able to add hostnames in host file of pirate box. Or it won't work a static IP to my name.lan

The hostname configured in piratebox.conf is automatically generated as a static hostname.
You can add additional static hostnames with adding them into /opt/piratebox/conf/hosts

The syntax is

myhostname.lan  192.168.1.2

The changes are activated after restarting piratebox.

best regards Matthias

I know of the feature connected client , but is it possible to collate info of all the user that connected over a period, let say over a week.
