I've recently been asked to provide a quick How-To by a colleague trying to get WPA2 enterprise configured on a RPI4. I thought I would also post it here in case if it of any use to the wider community. This has been tested on the following releases: * Raspbian Buster with desktop and recommended so...

I'm definately no Samba expert, but if you try setting the browseable parameter eg. browseable = yes under your main NAS share and/or the homes section to see if is then browseable on the network. You will have to restart Samba for the settings to take affect. I don't know what the default is, but t...

A quick and very dirty way using tcpdump would be to have a look at what domain names are being resolved. You wouldn't actually be looking at the traffic itself, but it would give you an indication as to the websites being hit via their names. This wouldn't catch those using IP addresses directly in...

I concur regarding access, either hide it behind a VPN server of some sorts, at the very least use SSH tunnels to get home. I would recommend configuring the SSH server on a high non standard port of such. You can of course, still use FTP just do it through the SSH tunnel so there is encryption and ...

I've now got it up and running - would it be helpful if I did a bit of a write up ?

It was kind of in my mind to do one anyway, but if it would be useful I'll look to get it done sooner rather than later.

Let me know...

Jon.

Hi, Can you post the share section of the /etc/samba/smb.conf file so we can take a look. Please ensure you obscure any secret information in your post. Typically, the shares will be listed with square brackets eg. [public] With the relevant smb.conf information we may be able to suggest a solution....

Hi,

I am considering replacing my Debian 8 Virtualbox hosted Turnkey Linux based OpenVPN server running on a with a Raspberry Pi based solution.

To that end, has anyone done any performance testing with OpenVPN server running on a Raspberry Pi ?

Having never heard of an Opto Isolator, I've spent some time reading up on them. :( I think it sounds a much safer way than my basic electronics approach to a simple switch on a long cable. I can see some more studying is required, but thanks for pointing me in the direction of isolating the RPi and...

I am thinking about installing a switch on my garage door connected back to a raspberry Pi, so I can send a text alert when the door has been open for a number of minutes. I am OK on the programming side, no expert but can cobble enough code together. I already have the Pi set up and able to send Sm...

I know with IOS7 Apple made some significant changes to how it determined if it had internet access, I presume IOS8 builds on that approach. This cisco document https://supportforums.cisco.com/document/11934456/captive-portal-ios7-public talks in more details although I am sure other resources are o...

Hi,

I've updated my blog with a bit more detail, hope it proves useful. I am no technical author though, so it is a bit rough around the edges.

Anyway, hope it helps.

I can't speak with authority on the blackberry component, I use a 3g USB data stick to send sms text messages using smstools from the repository. However, I did have the same problem that the device showed up as a storage device in lsusb. I was able to use usb_modeswitch to enable the pi to see the ...

You can very easily set up each remote PI to build a SSH session back to a central location using autossh. The SSH session can handle a number of tunnels using different ports to connect to the remote devices as required. Autossh is a powerful tool, and has a good deal of documentation and examples ...

I would be interested, I'm currently doing something similar using SMS text messages, but using GMAIL would be easier, especially if I can reuse an existing script.

Thanks

I've got one of the Anker units as per achrn and 2nd his recommendation. Think it's a great piece of kit, has never fails to supply enough juice for anything I've ever plugged in. Had 2 Pi's running before, though never tried 5.

HTH. Jon.

Looks as though you have made great progress, I hadn't thought about the various options and priorities that would be possible and therefore need to be catered for.

Hope it is going well, and look forward to the next update.

Looks very interesting, have a Pi in the car which seams to eat SD cards due to not being always shut down correctly. Can think of a few other uses as well for remote Web cams etc. Have tried one of the other UPS options available and found that it didn't really deliver what I was expecting of it. W...

My Internet router is configured to log amongst other things all incoming TCP SYNs (the first step to a TCP handshake) to a syslog server. Whilst other scanning methods are available without using SYN (the RST bit for session reset for example) any TCP session handshake will contain a SYN. Anyway, w...

Would it be possible to combine both projects into one? So I can roll with a secure router wherever I go? I imagine that it is possible but I'm just not sure how to go about it. Any suggestions? Its possible, I used to do something very similar with one of my RPi's when I first got it. I had a situ...

Hi, Just a bit of feedback to the wider community if you are reasearching and looking at the CW2 as a possible UPS device for your RPi. I bought one for an in car project, and was initially very impressed, however it appears the board has (in my view) a major flaw. From my experiences, even when the...

I once had one running using torrent and tutorrent as the Web based gui. Worked quiet well, not the snappiest gui experience but served is purpose. Personally I would stay well away from running a desktop and then a gui on the one pi. As they say YMMV. Don't know if it is because I'm old or its my l...

Hi, I'm currently working on a project for a RPi in the car, I have GPS up and running, along with producing a file for import to Google Earth. I would like to have a script executed when I am in a certain position (give or take). For example, I have a home WiFi, I would like the script to bring up ...

Everything seems to work fine, VPN is up and running etc. Only issue is that when I try to log on to my new VPN network I get a Network Key Mismatch error (Windows 7) or a Wrong Password Error (Android Phone). I have configured everything as per the guide so I'm really not sure what to do. I've tri...

I've played with the cabled box before, but it can cause havoc with auto negotiation as a series of Fast Link Pulse which would be very confusing if multiple things responded to. The upstream port is likely to go into some error state. I would go for a powered hub, bear in mind that if there are any...
