Share your Wi-Fi!
Dear Habroluds,
The idea of creating a project or a community hovers in the air, whose members give each other access to their unlimited internet via Wi-Fi.
Discuss?
I would like to try to realize this in Zelenograd. We have everywhere akadovskaya or stremovskaya bezlimitka. Corbin begins to appear. All the same conditions as in Moscow, but the city itself is very small, so the opportunity to provide good, dense coverage is high enough.
What can be done:
Naturally site for registration of participants in the project
When registering, he indicates his address with accuracy to the house, registers 3 mac-addresses (general information); mail, im, phone (for administration)
- coverage map
- user rating by individual coverage area (as the motivation for installing high-quality antennas on the router)
Immediately felt the presence of many pitfalls, but to cover them all one is quite difficult.
What I see:
- a person gives access to his local network - you need to check that he does not have shared resources available for recording
- one password for all participants, it can easily go beyond the community. Is it possible to protect against parasites?
')
I stopped at this decision: change the password once a month.
A person receives a new password only if he is registered on the site. If he is registered, he is listed on the card and distributes Wi-Fi. If he cannot be connected to his access point, he will be warned, re-warned and then the account will be blocked and he will not receive a new password.
- somehow it is necessary to limit the bandwidth provided by the "guests", otherwise an unscrupulous lisher can poison the owner's life.
Of course, you can always try to build a community on the principles of trust and mutual respect, but I would like to find some technical solutions to make participation as comfortable as possible.
The decisions developed during the discussion of the topic are in italic.
PS
decided to remind of the first article on Habré:

If this way to upgrade devices in addition to the antennas of routers, the idea may seem even more attractive.
