Re: [script] create_ap: Create a NATed or Bridged WiFi Access Point

@ earciga92
Mostly it's needed to edit the iptables. See this. Also privoxy wiki to configure it correctly.

do it good first, it will be faster than do it twice the saint

Re: [script] create_ap: Create a NATed or Bridged WiFi Access Point

@ TheSaint
Thanks, but there was no need to modify iptables at last. I connected my android device to the AP and configured manually the proxy on the Android device to the ip:port of my computer connected to the internet. Now everything works.

Thanks!

Hi OBLIQUE...

Its's possible to create more than 2 virtual APs with your Script?? I tried do it, creating every AP in a different Terminal, but I couldn't get it. Script show an error:

ERROR: Maybe your WiFi adapter does not fully support virtual interfaces.
       Try again with --no-virt.

Re: [script] create_ap: Create a NATed or Bridged WiFi Access Point

First of all, great work - I was having a lot of issues trying to get hostapd to work on my own (I almost got there, but I kept hitting roadblocks) and this script seems like a real time saver.

I noticed it seems to frequently access the disk while running, even if nothing is happening.  I'm guessing it's logging something, but would there happen to be a way to make it stop?

EDIT:
Nevermind - it was Chinese hackers who were spamming my /var/log/auth.log

Re: [script] create_ap: Create a NATed or Bridged WiFi Access Point

Hi i was refered to ask here (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=218046)
In short i want to use create_ap to make a hotspot and use sshuttle to go over the great firewall(i am china based atm) so that i can use google services on my smartphone.

My problem is that create_ap and sshuttle both work individualy perfectly. when i use sshuttle i can see uncensored internet on the NB and with create_ap i can make a hotspot and phone can use the PC internet. Problem is if i let them both run at the same time nothing works at all and phone cant access any sites at all.

Anyone a Idea how to fix this?
