Re: Can't find my piratebox after adding wpa - 5 years ago

WPA should work without an issue, are you certain you made the changes correctly? Can you maybe try to go back to an open network and see if it is working fine again? I assume you were using https://piratebox.cc/raspberry_pi:mods#enable_wpa_for_the_hotspot, correct?

Re: "Your Internet Access is blocked" Error when trying to connect to piratebox - 5 years ago

It sounds like a specific firewall/antivirus-related issue... Have you tried to connect via another device and see if it is running properly?

Hi, are you familiar with vi? If no, refer to the vi cheatsheet: http://www.lagmonster.org/docs/vi.html tl;dr: to edit you have to press "i" exit edit mode with "ESC" write changes to file and close vi with ":x"

Re: install problem tl-mr3020 v1 - can't connect to 192.168.0.254 - 6 years ago

Hi, you should be able to check on the back side of the router, what is the stock firmware's IP address. It "should be" 192.168.0.254, but please double-check. Are you connecting via cable? Can you make a connection at all? Make sure your computer either has an appropriate static IP address OR that it uses DHCP to get an address from the router itself.

Re: Read-Only Root Filesystem? - 6 years ago

I would say you can make the the root file system read-only in /etc/fstab. I am not sure how this would impact the chatbox function. You can check out e.g. https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/5112/running-on-read-only-sd-card#9135

Re: changing piratebox network name - 6 years ago

Are you editing with vi? If so, you have to press "i" to enter edit mode (once the file is opened), which you can later quit with "Esc" once you finished making the changes. A cheat sheet like this is always useful: http://www.lagmonster.org/docs/vi.html

Re: delete the uploaded file ＆change the interface of the homepage - 6 years ago

Hi, see this post from before https://forum.piratebox.cc/read.php?7,16901,16910#msg-16910. To change the landing page (UI) you have to change the index file with a text editor. You can find a lot of info online how to delete etc. files under Linux. Example: LINK Basically after you ssh into the RPi you can remove a file with, rm /path/to/file.txt

Re: WPA using Raspberry Pi 3B+ default wifi. - 6 years ago

Hi, you probably commented out the line #hw_mode=g which would cause the issue. So to enable the wifi network again, simply remove the #, so change to hw_mode=g Then if you want to enable WPA, you have to remove the # signs form the lines at the end of the file as well, so wpa=1 auth_algs=1 wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK wpa_pairwise=TKIP CCMP rsn_pairwise=CCMP wpa_passphrase=taco For

Re: PirateBox on RaspBerry B+ with wireless usb adapter - 6 years ago

Hi, The error suggests that your wifi card does not support AP mode, "Could not find an AP enabled WiFi card..." What do you mean you can "scan with iwlist", scan for nearby SSIDs? Can you check with iw list the supported modes of the card? AP should be one of them.

Re: Piratebox MR3020 reachable ONLY from mobile - 8 years ago

Hello 1. For the redirect, https:// sites are not redirected. Could you try and see if akjhergh.com works for example? 2. Telnet/SSH: does your computer get a valid IP address from the box? Does it show that it has connected to something? If not, then probably it is an IP issue. Perhaps you have an invalid static IP set on your LAN interface? You can try setting a new static IP in the appropr

Re: How to enter OpenWRT - 8 years ago

Quotemuhackl I would like to access the interface of OpenWRT again - as I was able before installing Piratebox on it. I'm sorry, I don't get this. OpenWRT does have an interface - called luci - but it does not ship with PirateBox by default. The interface you first accessed was the original firmware (Guide Step 4/a). You then replaced it with a custom version of OpenWRT to run Pirat

Re: Uploaded files duplicate on my tplink mr3020 piratebox - 8 years ago

Hm, interesting issue. Can you confirm that it is not just the browser displaying the same file twice? Do the files actually appear twice on the USB drive as well?

Re: How to enter OpenWRT - 8 years ago

Hi, if you have installed PirateBox it means that the original TP-Link firmware (router software) is gone. The PirateBox itself doesn't have a browser-based configuration interface. You can, however, use telnet or ssh to connect to the box as per described in the HowTo. If you want the original router firmware back, you can re-flash it, however it is an "either-or" situation,

Re: Isolate Files and Folders on Pendrive - 8 years ago

Hello, do I understand correctly that someone will make a new Piratebox for you and you don't want them to see what files are on the USB drive that you give them? If so, then you can just copy your files on the finished PB USB drive after it has been installed by the third party and they have no longer access to it.

Re: Raspberry Pi 3 and built in Wifi - Boot Issue - 8 years ago

Hello, the DIY mentions a USB adapter for Wi-Fi as the RPi 1 for example didn't have an on-board adapter. I do not have an RPi3, but after a quick search I think the BCM43438 chip can operate in AP mode and therefore should work. Installation therefore should be as described, using the image for the RPi3. Did you follow the guide step-by-step?A common issue is that a step gets left out

Re: Enable Internet Connection after manual installing the piratebox - 8 years ago

It is tricky. By default PirateBox redirects all traffic to a single site.You would need to split traffic and send some to the internet and e.g. piratebox.lan to the piratebox. At this point you are getting into turning PirateBox into a website. I'm not even sure how to go about bridging the Ethernet and WiFi interface of the Piratebox, but specify that not all traffic should be bridged.

Re: Enable Internet Connection after manual installing the piratebox - 8 years ago

Sorry, maybe I have misunderstood the question. The Raspberry Pi broadcasts both WiFi signals or there is a "school router" that gives you internet? Do you want to access the Piratebox from the school WiFi by connecting the school router to the Raspberry Pi?
