Most users expect to connect to 192.168.1.1 for
the first login, as
defaults in OpenWrt and LEDE.
This should be the default also for LibreMesh in my opinion.
Are there other ways?
If 192.168.1.1 is a bad default in your opinion (I guess...?), here's
another way: suggesting the users to connect to anygw address.
But neither anygw address is easy to guess, as by default is
10.%N1.0.1 (%N1 depends on ESSID).
An user-friendly and easy to document IP would be anygw 10.0.0.1 and
we can have it replacing 10.%N1.0.0/16 with 10.%N1.0.0/8/16 in the
default configuration.
personally NAK to all of this thread :(
the %N1 is there for a reason: you need only to customize ap_name and
you'll get a reasonable random ipv4/v6 network.
we definitely want to minimize the chance of ending up with two
different ap_name having the same IP addres (10.0.0.1 or whatever)
and besides that...
there's a DNS already in place (as Ufo was asking) that is
http://thisnode.info/
so you can write thisnode.info on any browser and it will not get
confused, search engine will not conquer, and you'll get to LuCI
we even have that real domain registered to put up some content on the
internet that makes sense, like "You're trying to reach a local
libremesh node but something is wrong with your setup. Either the DNS
settings in your mobile or computer are manually configured, or you're
not actually connected to a libremesh network. Get more info about
libremesh [here]..."
The commented aliases you saw on the chef, Ufo (like minodo.info) are
just example translations if someone wants to customize additional names
for that (so that both thisnode.info and minodo.info work)
we should really document what i just wrote somewhere. probably a "quick
start guide" or something. We had that for AlterMesh at
docs.altermundi.net (spanish only). Ilario, any suggestions? :)
cheers!!
gui
/8/16 in main_ipv4_address results in a /8 broadcast
with IPv4
auto-configuration in a /16 range [1].
Would be a bad default to have a /8 routing mask?
