• Ethernet, WLAN, GSM as iNet sources.
• AdBlock, ChildProtection, AnonymousDNS.
• VPN, Tor as optional 'sources'. (ongoing)
• NetworkManager, dnsmasq, systemd ,sudo are the only dependencies.
• WIFI, Ethernet as iNet destinations.

DO NOT USE - ONGOING DEVELOPMENT - !! pre Alpha State !!
!! Still ONGOING DEVELOPMENT !! - but 1st usable version is there.

1. Open a terminal - go to your home directory. Or somewhere else where you can deal with it, that the following script will create a folder at the destination where the script is called!

2. Run wget -q -O GetNextSetup.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PitWD/piSpot/refs/heads/main/GetNextSetup.sh will get you the 'download script'.

3. Run bash ./GetNextSetup.sh will download all setup files into the (new created) folder ./piSpot.SETUP.DIR.

4. Switch to the setup folder: cd piSpot.SETUP.DIR.

5. Run sudo bash Install.sh will setup piSpot, depending on the settings (see the piSpot.conf file).
   Without individual config settings the Install.sh script will just ask for the password to access piSpot.

   • piSpot will get saved (and started) as a NetworkManager AP connection on wlan0 (10.0.1.254).
   • Clients get IPv4 addresses in the range from 10.0.1.20 to 10.0.1.200 at 255.255.255.0
   • IPv6 is automatically managed by dnsmasq.
   • DNS upstream servers are taken from DNS4EU (Protective + AdBlock).
     See piSpot.conf for some other templates (e.g. additional ChildProtection) or full individual settings.
     
     
   • For Ethernet as iNet source you just need:
     • to connect your RaspberryPi to ethernet.
   • For WLAN as iNet source you need:
     • A secondary wlan adapter at wlan1.
     • Run sudo piSpot_wlan_new.sh and follow the instructions to add and save a new connection.
   • For GSM as iNet source you need:
     • A (USB) GSM / WWAN adapter at *. (the 1st gets selected)
     • Run sudo piSpot_gsm_new.sh and follow the instructions to add and save the connection.
       
       

   While using the default settings a tweak gets installed which injects individual settings into the dnsmasq-service which got started by NetworkManagers AP Mode. The AccessPoint will function without the tweak, but then it's i.e. impossible to set individual DNS servers to get the simplest way for AdBlock, ChildProtection and AnonymousDNS. As many other options, you can disable the tweak in the piSpot.conf file. Whenever you're changing settings, you have to run Install.sh again to get the changes activated.

0. !! YOU ARE USING A "PreAlpha" VERSION !!
1. Missing uninstall script.
2. Missing auto recognition if GSM needs a PIN, dial number, user or password. See the piSpot.conf file to adjust the needs of your SIM card to get a connection up.
3. Actually there are already much more scripts installed to handle WLAN and GSM connections - but without any explanation or mentioning here.
4. Missing TUI which handles all the scripts to manage all piSpot scripts.
5. Parallel WLAN and GSM connection as iNet sources may exclude you from accessing the piSpot on all interfaces. Just unplug the WLAN or GSM stick and you're back in game.
6. The reboot resistant tweak depends actually on systemd. But there is already a manual way to do it without systemd - see the (undocumented) scripts...
7. DO NOT USE nmtui - even just watching the piSpot connection there will kill the functionality - actually no clue why...
8. OpenSuse (ARM for RasPi) tumbleweed minimal.
   • missing dnsmasq, mmcli, udhcpc
   • messed up hard-paths for route in /usr/share/udhcpc/default.bond
9. NetworkManager incompatible GSM sticks may now work via ModemManager - but such hardware will actually not autoconnect after reboot or reconnection! But after one time sudo piSpot_wwan_new.sh you can then do sudo piSpot_wwan_up.sh to reconnect after reboot or reconnection. (Yes, at least the "up" script should work without sudo... and it will... soon!)
