The client package allows to create a new wifi interface with direct access to the local Freifunk network but with alternative exit gateways for internet connectivity. A custom ESSID can be chosen. The provider package is the counterpart to the client package and configures the firewall of the selected Gluon node to grant permission to route packets between the client and wan zone. Note that the Gluon Alt-ESC provider package is not mandatory for the Gluon Alt-ESC client package. In fact, any client device in the mesh network can be chosen and configured to provide internet access for the Alt-ESC client package. Signed-off-by: Linus Lüssing <linus.luessing@c0d3.blue>

======================
|
|
|
|
The *gluon-alt-esc-provider* package is the counterpart to the *gluon-alt-esc-client*
|
|
package. It configures the firewall of the according Gluon node to grant permission
|
|
to route packets between the client (mesh clients) and wan zone (private network
|
|
behind the WAN port).
|
|
|
|
Packets from the client to the wan zone are NAT'ed both for IPv4 and IPv6.
|
|
|
|
Two notes: Beware of the security implications for routers and hosts in your wan
|
|
zone (yes, your 192.168.x.x devices will be accessible from the mesh).
|
|
|
|
Secondly, note that the Gluon Alt-ESC provider package is not mandatory for the
|
|
Gluon Alt-ESC client package. In fact, any client device in the mesh network
|
|
can be chosen and configured to provide internet access for the Alt-ESC
|
|
client package.
