And no, I'm not talking about pirating on the internet, I'm talking about getting your internet connection to the outside world without paying or having a subscription or license. Something like a mesh network with your neighbors with the exit node being one person's high-speed fiber line, or even an exit node through a free public wifi network that you've hidden a little repeater device within range of... something like that could be interesting. I've been thinking lately of a world where decentralized networks become more common, and where people can freely use the internet without paying an ISP. What are your thoughts?

There is freifunk in Germany they use Mesh Network -> Router > VPN to another Country so they dont get Problems by People pirating.

I just released the 6th patched router for friends to expand the network. In the area we use it its already available but using more router extends the range and network quality.

used GL.iNet GL-AR300M16-Ext routers btw

Wait but the mesh network is virtual they don't have their own antennas right?

[–] rirus@feddit.org 1 points 3 hours ago

They have their own antennas. If the internet connection of one router dies, but it has a connection to another Freifunk node, it gets routed over the other one.
