Ive used this page a few times to help friends with setups. I just offlined a copy so I won’t need the bad site anymore.

For now…

I used to use these guys for the same reason. I moved because of the forced agreeing to giving them your data. And now I’m paying less else where.

Not getting a work call,text or notification.

Are the Reolink wireless? What models? Do you have outdoor ones? Im looking for outdoor.

The blink cameras are battery powered. 100% wireless (no network or power cables) . Only trigger on motion or if activated for live stream.

What wireless cameras are you using. I too love frigate.

I do love me some ESP32! I did not think about doing this… I am sure there are stats on power consumption. I think making it outdoor/weatherproof would be the hardest part.

Do you have any that are solar? or outdoors?

That is what I am currently doing but the usb port on the unit is 2.0 so its dog slow!

Neat! TIL

Have you tried Firefox?

Had the same thought…

Looks like I got the bad wifi ones… trash can! Thank you for assistance! Very informative!

Its still expensive. I get better speeds from 5g/LTE. I live in very rural farm town usa. My LTE is through T-Mobile for $45/mo and average speeds of 80x20mpbs. Peaks around 200mbps down and 180upload.

I do have the antenna pointed directly at the tower above the tree line.

Wave form antenna kit - $400 Spitz modem - $400 But my only alternative was starlink so the ROI on this setup was real fast compared. I also have a Verizon simcard as a hot fail over. But that Sim is data capped. I work from home in IT so I need the Internets.

Ive thought about side hustling my setup and selling it to my neighbors. But it would just congest my tower more… Lol

They have the Spitz out now. I live rural and actually have this as my whole home modem.

I have a pfsense modem between it and my network for routing/vlan but its great! I have the modem paired with the waveform antenna on a 40ft tower. I love that it tells me connection speed to the tower similar to how your WiFi network adapter will tell you the speed between it and the WiFi access point. It will say like 200M. So I know I can get up to 200M but because of prioritization+usage on the tower my actual speeds are 80mbps during Netflix hours but closer to 200m when I first wake up.

Tldr: glinet makes some solid hardware and software. (I know openwrt did most of the heavy lifting. But its well polished. )

This is great! I knew they were tricky to flash! But this is very detailed in the process. Looking forward to trying this when I get home from the office today!! Thank you!!

pfSense on an old PC with two NICs should do well. You could buy dedicated hw like a protectoli. Ive had one for 6 years now no issues.

Where I live I only have LTE/cell for internet. I work from home. I use this https://www.openmptcprouter.com/

So I can have multiple WAN connections at home. Not sure if it would work in reverse. Maybe if you installed it backwards?

Yes its a setting. https://help.kagi.com/kagi/features/redirects.html The help doc actually using old.reddit as an example.

“If you VPN supports p2p just use that” what does this mean? Use p2p to access reddit? Is that a thing?
