In Caimito we want to reduce our use of Internet bandwidth, at least for a few weeks until we can get a higher bandwidth connection.
Two ideas:
1) block certain URLs, such as YouTube,
2) throttle traffic.
Maybe only during peak traffic hours.
Looking for software to install on our gateway router we've found Tiny Proxy. Do you think it might work, and/or suggest something else?
https://tinyproxy.github.io/
Our gateway router is a TP-Link WDR3500 running LibreMesh from February of this year (maybe 2016.11, I'll check). We can update to the latest release of LibreMesh if that makes a difference (we plan to update sometime in the next few months).
Happy end of the Gregorian year,
Pato
Does anyone have LiMe working on a Raspberry Pi 3? I can boot up the
latest RPI-3 image and get the eth0 port connected to my WAN uplink, but
the mesh doesn't work and the AP is not broadcasting any SSIDs. The
SSIDs all show "//Wireless is disabled or not associated" //and the
wlan0-mesh_13 interface shows DOWN on the BMX6 Status page.
I get two errors during init:
[ 10.862080] brcmfmac: brcmf_cfg80211_add_iface: iface validation
failed: err=-16
[ 12.117179] brcmfmac: brcmf_cfg80211_get_channel: chanspec failed (-1)
The brcmf_cfg80211_add_iface error traces back to this code in
cfg80211_change_iface() in net/wireless/util.c:
> /* if it's part of a bridge, reject changing type to
> station/ibss */
> if ((dev->priv_flags & IFF_BRIDGE_PORT) &&
> (ntype == NL80211_IFTYPE_ADHOC ||
> ntype == NL80211_IFTYPE_STATION ||
> ntype == NL80211_IFTYPE_P2P_CLIENT))
> return -EBUSY;
which seems to imply that this can't work (bridging an AdHoc
interface). Or maybe the AdHoc mode has to be set before the bridge is
added?
Any suggestions or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Bob
Hi all,
a new version of Chef [1] allow snapshot builds of LibreMesh to quickly
test it on new devices and the packages from develop branch [2].
To use the (unstable) snapshot builds please select "Advanced" in chef
and set the release to "snapshot".
I'd be happiest about your feedback!
Best,
Paul

buonasera a tutti, sto cercando di allestire una rete mesh amatoriale
gratuita nel mio paese , prendo esempio da voi e dalla vostra voglia di
fare.
Ho un unico problema, ho installato con successo su due minirouter
(airgateway della ubiquity e un iglnet gl-ar150), il
software libremesh i collegamenti radio funzionano benissimo e i gateway
smistano correttamente il traffico, ma se uso speedtest.net via web o
iperf via ssh vedo che le velocità superano raramente i 10 Mbits vi
chiedo se cio è normale.

Hi all,
I have nodes A, B, C and all are mesh.
Node A is the exit node - connected via ethernet cable on eth0 and
node B and node C are connected A via mesh.
So, when I connected node C via ethernet, does it start using ethernet
as backhaul or still keeping mesh.
that is, when a client connects via wifi to node C, does the traffic
go via option 1 or option 2?
option 1:
client wifi <--> node C <--> mesh iface <--> node A <--> router
option 2:
client wifi <--> node C <--> ethernet eth0 <--> router
Thanks
We have a new device to work with - LibreMesh is working on the Xiaomi
MiWiFi 3, thanks to Chen Minqiang (ptpt52), who made a LeDe firmware, and
P4u and Gio who got the libremesh version.
Even though the mt7620 (2.4Ghz) is known to be a bit flaky, the 5Ghz should
be good. And until LibreRouter is available, it seems to be the only
available dual band solution (at least in Brazil).
So here are the steps to install it:
- Follow these steps to get ssh/dropbrear access:
https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/xiaomi/mir3#to_get_sshdropbear_access (don't
forget to downgrade the firmware before)
- Download libremesh rootfs and kernel files from here:
https://mega.nz/#!8A9CUJLQ!gJNC3SfwDdmMZ4y9BXlWp4mcn1FTAU3vWgsVYK2vW4whttps://mega.nz/#!1QdkxKgb!7htQD4bE9AbYotPkEQYriI5zF2LDe27A62h7S2tq9VM
- Copy these files over scp to the router:
scp lede-ramips-mt7620nand-miwifi-r3-squashfs-kernel1.bin
root@192.168.15.1:/tmp/
scp lede-ramips-mt7620nand-miwifi-r3-squashfs-rootfs0.bin
root@192.168.15.1:/tmp/
- login through ssh:
ssh root(a)192.168.15.1
- type in the commands (from chen's instructions https://github.com/ptpt52/
lede-source/issues/1)
nvram set flag_last_success=1
nvram set boot_wait=on
nvram set uart_en=1
nvram commit
mtd write /tmp/lede-ramips-mt7620nand-miwifi-r3-squashfs-kernel1.bin kernel1
mtd write /tmp/lede-ramips-mt7620nand-miwifi-r3-squashfs-rootfs0.bin rootfs0
reboot
And it should be meshing!
Cheers
Bruno
Hi.
I've setup a server for nightly snapshots. It means it uses the
development branch of LEDE and LibreMesh.
So last target hardware supported by LEDE plus last changes of LibreMesh
will be available for quick download and install.
Note that these are unattended builds so firmware might be wrong or buggy.
Find it here http://snapshots.libremesh.org/snapshots
Cheers.
Hello All,
Any help regarding the how I can get the gateway ??

Hi,
When there is a zone with high density (many users),
how many stations does a node accept? Is there a maximum?
Do you have any rough recommendation?
What would you say for the following routers?
WDR3600
WDR4300
NSM5
WR841ND
If, in that same zone, we put several nodes close to each other,
do they somehow load-balance the number of accepted stations per node?
I was told the recommended network size for a LiMe layer-2 cloud was /21.
I would like to know what criteria should be taken into account when
considering to create additional layer-2 clouds.
Is there any maximum number of LiMe nodes (any type) per layer-2 cloud
you would roughly recommend?
Is there any maximum number of LiMe access points per layer-2 cloud you
would roughly recommend?
When you have different layer-2 clouds, I understand they automagically
connect to each other and share their Internet connections.
But, what are the differences for users communicating from different L2
clouds?
I mean compared to users in just one L2 cloud.
They won't share the local name resolution anymore (published services
within the L2 cloud), will they?
Any other difference?
Thank you!!
