My immediate need is to verify that data I am streaming from the Wireless Access Point I set up on my Pi is passing through the OpenVPN tunnel to my VPN Provider. I connected my client to the AP SSID, then ran traceroute (or tracert on windows) is a good tool to run on a client to see what path you...

Thanks very much! I'll look into those.

Thanks! I'll have a look.

Where does this leave us?

I think I have everything setup per the documentation James sent. Have you seen anything out of spec? I *have* run OpenVPN, but then I killed it.

What ports are open on your RPi? ssh isn't enabled by default now. I enabled SSH when I re-flashed the fresh Jessie image at the beginning of this thread, by adding file "ssh" to boot sector. I've been working headless, except for when I've been unable to access via SSH, for whatever reason. sudo n...

Adafruit has a very useful tutorial: https://learn.adafruit.com/setting-up-a-raspberry-pi-as-a-wifi-access-point/overview Thanks! If I understand this correctly, with a console cable, I can access my Pi without an HDMI monitor or keyboard. In other words, I should be able to connect the pins to my ...

Howdy! Using my Pi attached to an HDMI monitor, and during boot, there is a process "Raise Network Interfaces", which I assume means its looking for access to the web or some other interface which is not present. The wait on this is "unlimited", which seems to mean about two minutes. Is there a comm...

When I connect to the SSID with my laptop, my Pi appears on the network.

However, I cannot connect to it via SSH with Putty or VNC.

When I run ipconfig on Laptop1 while connected to the Pi's SSID, I get the following

Power down your RPi then reboot (or power cycle) your router. Power up your RPi in AP mode. Then run your experiments again. Did that. It worked fine for a while. I started up the VPN and it continued to function, though I don't know know if all data was indeed passing through the tunnel. I left fo...

Hello All, My immediate need is to verify that data I am streaming from the Wireless Access Point I set up on my Pi is passing through the OpenVPN tunnel to my VPN Provider. I connected my client to the AP SSID, then ran /etc/openvpn/openvpn_server_config_file.conf Expecting that all data from/throu...

Doug, Last night I rebooted my Pi and lost network contact with it. The new SSID on my Pi was broadcasting however, and though windows complained that the connection did not have internet access, I could connect to the RF with a wireless device. When I scanned the AP network, my Pi appeared with two...

NoBodyUKnow

Doug, It is functioning. I checked everything in the first part and followed the steps in the second part of the document, EXCEPT for adding "denyinterfaces eth0" in /etc/dhcpcd.conf. I'm afraid that if I add that, I'm going to be left with no working TCP/IP interfaces and locked out of network acce...

Did some restarts and the new SSID appeared. I was able to connect to it with a wireless device, but there's no internet connectivity through the AP. I'm on the web on the PI via SSH/VNC

This is where I'm really wondering about the two static ip addresses I mentioned above...

NoBodyUKnow

Followed the doc for setting up standalone network access point https://github.com/raspberrypi/documentation/blob/master/configuration/wireless/access-point.md I see no SSID, unfortunately. When I restarted hostapd, I got message: wpa_supplicant[411]: rfkill: WLAN soft blocked Rebooted and checked a...

I'm working on a similar project:

viewtopic.php?t=178244

Did you get this figured out? I see myself running into the same issue(s), eventually. Currently, I'm interested in getting this to work on my current network. Sounds like that's working for you?

I've refreshed the image and done the basic setups once more, including backups of config and interface files. My setup has my Pi connected to a wireless router via an ethernet cable. The router has its own SSID with devices connected to it that I DO NOT want to pass through the VPN. I want to setup...

NoBodyUKnow

Thanks Doug, Yes, I did that. I showed two IP addresses in the DHCP Table: One the same as before and another new IP with a new mac address. I could not SSH in via either one. I deleted the two entries in the dhcp table and rebooted my pi. The DHCP entries for my R Pi never came back, even though I ...

NoBodyUKnow

Thanks... I tried to revert everything to the standalone network scenario and locked myself out of SSH access, perhaps because the bridge was still in place. Not sure. I had restored the .conf and .interface files I had backed up and performed the setups specified in the first section. Any ideas for...

NoBodyUKnow

The deeper I get into this, the more I become concerned the "shared connection" scenario will not support my needs. From looking at this: https://agentoss.wordpress.com/2011/10/31/creating-a-wireless-access-point-with-debian-linux , I've come to understand that what is happening in the shared scenar...

So... This may seem like a stupid question, but.... The documentation has two sections: One for setting up an access-point on a standalone network and another on setting up an access-point to share an existing, wired connection (my scenario). Do each of these sections stand alone, or do I follow the...

Thank you Doug. I searched Github but could not find it.

Working on this now...

James,

It seems the link you posted above is dead.

You said it was a draft. Did you publish it w a different URL? I can no longer access it.

Thanks!

NoBodyUKnow

Thanks Doug and James. Interesting... I accidentally deleted this, as I didn't see your responses and thought I was in the wrong thread. Sorry. Replacing my post: After a fresh install of the 03/02/17 version of Jessie, this is what I have done: Added ssh to boot connected via putty changed pswd ran...
