Hi,
When discussing an issue on Github [0] it was considered the need for
some further talk on some LibreMesh topics.
A good way to trigger that talk could be to prepare a FAQ section that
would clarify some aspects of the project -maybe goal of LibreMesh, its
benefits, its network behavior, the ethics supporting that behavior,
security concerns, whatever.
Having a FAQ section could calm down some security-conscious people who
are becoming interested in community networks.
Please visit the etherpad [1] and add/change/delete whatever you want,
questions and answers. I dared to answer many things they might not be
correct. Same for grammar.
Once everyone is happy about the text, it would be very helpful to have
that FAQ on the website. Making things clear can boost the growth too,
and I might not need that network-profile I requested!! [0]

Hi everyone. I've got a 2 node system up and running and I wanted to
find out if there was any general advice on configuring this for a home
network to keep it secure. My neighbour and I share a common interest
in technology, but we agreed over the garden fence we didn't want to
share each of our home wifi networks or at this stage broadband,
although the broadband sharing might come later.
The libremesh site is helpful especially around what the config file
does, but I'm looking for any pointers or links to reference material on
home usage. In particular leveraging the mesh side to provide good home
coverage, but not open sharing with the outside world initially.
Anything the list members can point me at very much appreciated as both
of us have hunted round and the type of information we have found is a
bit too technical for either of us to apply.
Cheers
Dave
Some of you are going to the Internet Freedom Festival in Valencia March
5th to 9th? I'm not sure yet if I'm going this year.

Hi,
Sometimes I explain what this community network thing is to someone in
my district. They likes the idea and they has an ISP router. Then I ask
them if they would like to share their Internet connection and they says
"yes, why not?". But then they asks if users in the community network
could have access to their private home network. I answer they could,
but it can be avoided in different ways -create different VLANs in the
ISP router, configure a firewall, closing ports in the computers...
Then they stops liking this community network thing.
It is frustrating, because many people do not share their Internet
connection because of this, and so we lose the resources we need.
I was wondering if there would be a way that LiMe could come
preconfigured in such a way that, when an Internet gateway is added, it
could only communicate to that ISP router, and no other host in that
private network. I mean to automatically create the proper firewall
rules so that the LiMe network could not access hosts in private networks.
That would not be real security, as that configuration could be removed
by any administrator in the community network, but we would be able to
start our answer saying "by default LiMe cannot enter into your private
network", and then explain what they could do to improve their security.
What do you think of it?
Have you found this obstacle?
What would you reply to that person?
Is my proposal doable?
If so, should I open a Github issue? Where? In lime-packages?
Hi all!
Sorry for pointing out an annoying fact, but our IRC channel is not
working as user support contact.
In my opinion should be removed from our contact page on the website.
Most of the questions being asked there remain unanswered because either
we're not answering fast enough or the users disconnect without waiting
enough for an answer (many users are not used to IRC).
This has never really worked.
It's neither being used for discussions about development as devs are
not often active there.
We can just remove the suggestion to contact us via IRC (as seems it's
not a valid contact anymore) and recommend just the mailing list.
Otherwise we can move the channel to another chat system.
What do you think?
Do we need to have a more effective chat for user support or just using
this mailing list is enough?
Bye,
Ilario
Hi,
I have never tried a Xiaomi router.
The Chef allows you to cook LiMe for the Xiaomi Mi WiFi Mini and for the
Xiami Mi WiFi Nano.
Anyone tested them?
Do they work ok?
Do you know if it will be possible in the near future to get the LiMe
firmware for the Xiaomi Mi WiFi R3 from the Chef?
Thanks!

Using the version cooked with lime-sdk solves the problem.
Firmware Version LiMe 17.06 DaybootRely (17.06 rev. ac18095 20171019_1644)
/ LuCI lede-17.01 branch (git-18.033.59178-3d46f25)
bmx6 -c version: BMX6-0.1-alpha comPatibility=16
revision=4016a1980d900309771e432d1f7c741d6c48d477
But, really, those download builds should be updated.,,,
