And this video, I'm so
excited in this video, we're turning this raspberry
PI into a super secure network. Router raspberry pies
can do pretty much anything, including becoming a router is kind of
the perfect router. Look how tiny it is. And it's perfect for traveling, which
is exactly what I'm going to use it for. This will be my official travel router. When I take my family on
a road trip here soon, and it will securely
connect me and my family, wherever we go to the internet over VPN
dude, it's amazing. And in this video, I'm going to walk you through
every single step. And honestly, it's not too crazy. We're
going to install open WRT, which is just this amazing
Linux-based open source, a router. I'll show you how to get
a basic network set up, and then I'll show you how to connect
to nor DPN all the time over this raspberry PI. And you can use this
thing anywhere. Coffee shops, hotels, Airbnbs, whatever it is, it can connect to public wifi as a
client and give you internet access, but also give you secure VPN internet.
That's awesome. So here we go. No time to waste. Let's
get the sucker going. Cause I'm about to leave for my
trip. Get your coffee ready, man. Never checked out coffee and
also shout out to the sponsor. This video posting here. I believe every one of you should
have a website and hosting, or is the place to build it. We'll talk
more about them later in the video. Okay. First, let's talk
about what you need. Well, the first and most obvious thing you
need is a raspberry PI and here actually have good news. This is a rare project
where most raspberry pies are supported. Open WRT can be installed in pretty much
anything from the zero to the PI four. Now there are some considerations you
gotta to think about when you pick your pie. And I always recommend just
to have the raspberry pie four, cause it has everything you need
built in wifi, Ethan at ports, and it's stinking fast and it's going
to give you the best performance. So get the four, but it supports
everything, which is so cool. And also like every pie you're gonna
need some goodies, like the power supply, a micro SD card or USB micro SD card
reader. And if you don't already have one, make sure you have an Ethan at cable and
a computer you can connect to with that Ethan, a Gable. But normally when
you're buying a raspberry PI, it comes in a kit and you get all this
stuff right there in the package. Second, and this is pretty important. You'll need a USB wifi adapter and
you'll need one that can work with the raspberry PI and specifically
open WRT. Uh, personally, I can recommend this guy right here.
I had just bought him from Amazon. He works. Check the link below.
How much was he? Let me check. Oh, he's like 12 bucks. Yeah, get this guy. Now you may already have one and it might
work, but I can't promise it'll work. And as we're walking through our steps, you'll find out pretty soon
if it does or it doesn't. And then finally you need coffee.
I'm sorry. It's just required. If you do anything in it, you have
to have coffee network, chuck.coffee, coffee break to fuel up. Let's go. Let's do this now real
quick. Before we start, I want to show you how this
is going to end up working. Now I'll be using a raspberry
PI for, for this project. The key considerations here is that
it has built in Ethan. It of course, and built in wifi. And then we'll also have a
USB wifi adapter that will
plug in boop right there. So we'll end up having two
wifi interfaces. You will
need two wifi interfaces. So if your raspberry PI does
not have wifi built-in well, you're going to need two wireless
adapters to USB wireless adapters, because here's how it's going
to work. The onboard wifi. The one built into my raspberry PI for
that sucker will connect to any public wifi available that wireless will
be used to connect to public wifi. The USB wireless adapter will
be giving me and my family wifi. It will be the one broadcasting, my SSI D and what I connect to
to get access to the internet. And the ethernet port
will just be part of it. He'll be part of that same network
that my family is connecting to. So if I didn't want to plug in
something to that, for example, I'll be plugging in my raspberry
PI Nass to the ethernet port. So I can watch Plex movies on the
road, in the car with my family. It's going to be awesome.
Anyway, here we go. So again, if you don't have two wifi interfaces,
you'll need them. Okay. Step one, we got to bake our pie. We got to put open WRT on the sucker
as the S so real quick again, links, blow for everything. Go
out and find your OS. Match it up to your particular pie.
For me. I have the raspberry PI four B, which is right here. I'm going to
download this firmware right here. Boom. And it's super small and really fast. So
watch this. I'm going to take the dang. It's already done. Okay. Time to
write the sucker to our SD card. So grab your micro SD
card. Where'd my others. Get your USB micro SD card reader, the bad boy in there and
plug it into your computer. And they will use my
go-to tool for imaging. Anything with the raspberry PI the
raspberry PI imager link below Mac Linux windows first I'll choose my O S,
which is the one we just downloaded. So I'll hit that and I'll scroll all
the way to the bottom and select use custom. We are doing
something custom here. You want to select the
open WRT image, open that, and then finally select your storage.
Make sure you pick the right one. Mine is 32 gig micro SD card. And
that's it guys click on, right? Yes. And super best coffee break because
this thing goes so slick and fast. Here we go. Bam. And the time it takes
to sip a cup of coffee, it's ready. Grab your micro SD card. Read that
sucker. Slide that into your raspberry PI, depending on what model you have,
it might be a bit different, but I'll slide mine in here. Ah, now the cool part is you won't need a
monitor or keyboard to get the sucker going. So first, what we'll
do is take an ethernet cord, plug it into your laptop
or computer or whatever, and plug that into your raspberry. PI's
Ethan end port, Ugh, love that sound. And then we will plug in the raspberry
PI power and that sucker will boot up auto magically. So now how do we access
our pie with this new open WRT oh, S installed? Well, again, right now you should have an ethernet
cable going from your computer to your raspberry pies, Ethan airport, by default, your raspberry PI will have an IP
address of one nine, two.one six, eight.one.one. Our goal right now is to be able to
access the IP address so we can configure that bad boy. So what we'll
need to do is give our computer, our interface and IP
address in that subnet. So what I'll do is give my computer and
you can follow along and do the exact same as me. Yeah. P address of one
nine, two.one six, eight.one dot 10. Let's go do that right now. I'm going
to do it inside a windows. I'll do it. Windows key S and search for control
panel, click on networking, internet, click on view, network, status and tasks. And then my Ethan up port is
when I want to change right here, click on properties, find
my internet protocol, version four adapter there and change
it from automatic to manual one nine, two.one six, eight.one dot
10 default gateway of 1 92. You don't want us to take that one.one?
And that's all we need to click. Okay. Okay. And close. And we should be able
to access it. So now, and by the way, if you're using Linux or Mac,
it'll be different. Right? So, um, Google that I can only
show so much anyways. So I'm going to watch my command
prompt or CMD for macro Linux. That'll be terminal. See, I'm helping you a little bit and
we're going to SSH into that bad boy. So the command will be SSH. Default.
Username is root at one nine, two.one six, eight.one.one.one. And here we go, type in.
Yes. And we're in open. WRT on a raspberry PI, are you ready
for this coffee break? Just real quick notice. They did not prompt us
for a password. Super insecure. Let's go ahead and change that type
in P a S S w D, which by the way, that's how you change the
password on any Linux device. And that's it just hit enter. It'll
prompt you for a new password. Enter your new password in something
good password for root change by route. Now whether you're new to networking or
not open WRT is fun. It's a new thing. I'm used to Cisco stuff and
ubiquity. This is all like Linux. So check it out first. I'm going to show you something we're
going to do CD or change directory. We're going to go to Ford slash
etc, or Etsy Ford slash config, and just go there. Hit enter type in LS to see what's inside
all these files right here, hold ARCA, figuration of our raspberry PI router,
our network config, firewall, DHCP, and we can edit these files. So
let's take a look at network verse. Then we're actually going to
make some changes here. Actually, no first what we're going to do is back
up our files in case we screw something up. So here are the files we're changing and
we want to back up wireless network and firewall really easy to back those up,
check it out. The command will be CP, which stands for copy. We'll
do firewall first firewall. And then we'll say the name of the file. We want to copy it to firewall dot
BK for backup Don, we backed it up. Let's do it again. Do up arrow,
do it for network network dot BK, backed up and we'll do it for wireless.
So now if we hit LS, once more, we get our main configs and we get
our backups right there. Perfect. Now we're ready to make some changes and
not be too afraid of what happens and worst comes to worst. You
can always re image it. Uh, did you see how fast that was? Like?
So it's not a big deal now real quick. Let me tell you something.
As we're doing this project, as we're building a raspberry PI router, did you know that you're
building some crazy skills, marketable skills like Linux and
networking knowledge that you can put on a resume or even better a website? Yes. These are skills that
can help you get a job, but you can't get a job unless
someone knows about you. Unless someone can see what you're
doing. I truly believe having a website. Your name with your branding is the best
way to get your best foot out there. Sure. You can have a resume, but man, having a website along with your
resume puts you above the rest. That's why I'm a big fan of hosting.
You're the sponsor of this video. They are a fantastic way to
build your website. In fact, all of my daughters I have of them, yes, I have five daughters have their website
on hosting you're right now because it's never too early to start branding
from four months old to my 10 year olds. Yeah, they have their own website. And
if my four month old has a website, I think you should have a website and
choosing hosting or for that website is a no brainer, fast servers, 99.9%
uptime guarantee, which you, you want to keep your website
up. It's optimized for WordPress, which is what I run all my websites
on. That's the best thing ever. And they get lost. They get
chat support 24, 7, 3, 5. They have a crazy
user-friendly control panel. I think it's really easy to set
up. I even made a video about this. Like I made a video telling you why you
need a website and I showed you how you can do it. So check it
out somewhere up here, you also get a free domain SSL and a
30 day money back guarantee. So yeah, don't waste any more time. As soon as you're done building
your raspberry PI router, go build yourself a website.
In fact, talk about doing this. You'll be amazed at what
employers will look for. If I were hiring someone right now,
if I saw that dude you're hired, let's check it out in the description. I got a link for you hosting your.com
forward slash network. And Chuck, you use my code number,
Chuck, and you get 10% off. Let's jump into our network
file first now, bad news nano. He's not here right now. My
favorite text, editor and Linux. We have to use VI or VIM. Let's do it. So type in VI and then the
name of that file network. That's it hit enter we're in all this
right here is our network configuration. It's cool. Right? So let's
make some changes. Okay. First we're going to change
our land network here. One thing we're going to change is the
IP address. One on two.one, six, eight. That one.one is the most common home
network IP address or sub-net and you know what? Hackers know that too. So we're
going to change. So they don't know. So we can use a directional pad to
scroll down there and to make this edit change. We're going to hit the,
uh, I key for insert insert, and now I can start editing. So I'm going to backspace that IP address
and put in a custom one. Like I dunno, 10 dash 71 70 one.one. You can copy me if you want to just
make sure it's a private IP address and that's all I need for that network there. And then we're going to
add one more line here. So go ahead and bring your cursor with
the directional arrows all the way down here to the bottom right here had enter
in a space on over to where it all lines up. Nice and pretty. I just liked the way that looks so here
type in option and then type in force underscore blink, and then space
single quote, one single quote, which we're basically saying this is his
IP address. Keep this config, save it. Whether he's up or not. So he's done.
He's good. Now hit enter a few times. We're going to make a new interface. You
ready? Whoa. This is crazy. All right, here we go. What can I get a copy
of what we just did up there? Typing config interface. And we're
going to name this new interface, single quotes, WW a N or w
[inaudible] single quote. Once more to close that sucker route
hit enter line that option up with the N type in your first option. Oh yeah.
We're going to add some config to this. We're they going to type in Prado,
P R O T O space, single quote, D H C P single quote. Now what this is doing here is
we're telling our way to interface, to pull an IP address from DHCP, from
whatever wireless network we connect to. So if it's public wifi
like Starbucks, boom, it's going to give your web
interface and IP address, whereas appear on our
land. We're doing static. We want that thing to stay the same here. We want to match it to whatever network
we're connecting to golden. Now, for some more options, enter
space on over space out option. We're going to type in pier, DNS
space, seal quote, zero single quote, and then one more time enter space on
over option we'll type in just DNS single quote. And then we'll put in a DNS server.
We want to use for our web interface. Me. I love to use Cloudflare's
one.one.one.one. You can use that as well. And then as a backup, I'll do Google.
So space eight dot eight dot eight, eight CloudFlare and Google can't
go wrong. Right? I don't know. Okay. We're done with the Wayne interface.
We're going to add one more. This is a promise config
interface, single quote, VPN client, because we will be
setting up a VPN connection. Now, if you're not going to do VPN,
then you can skip this part. I am because I want to be secure
because we know hackers, hack Starbucks, wifi all the time. Right? Anyways,
I'd enter space on over option. If name renaming interface, single
quote ton, zero single quote, and the one more option. Roto
single boat, none single quote. Now that's it. We're done
now. Just so you know, all we're doing here can be
done in a nice, pretty gooey. So if you're more comfortable
with that, go for it. We're going to do both with this tutorial.
I like doing both. Oh, it's so fun. Anyways. I'll show you
the gooey here in a bit. So now how do we save this or easing
them? So it's a little unfriendly, but to do this, don't do anything
just yet. Just calm down first. Hit the escape key. Then hit
colon then type in w queue. I know it's fricking weird
right here at the bottom left. You should see it just like
this squiggly colon WQ. If you see that you're
good hit enter. You did it. You saved the config now real quick. We're going to make one change
to our firewall. So again, we're gonna do VI this time.
We'll do firewall as the document, we're going to open do it. We're only
gonna change one thing down here. We're going to change configuration
for this zone right here, the zone for our whanau. We're gonna change this option
input from reject to accept. That's all we're doing
right here. So again, scroll on down with your directional
arrows. Get in place right up here. Next to that reject hit. I just start
editing, remove that type and accept. And then we're ready to save. Hit escape. Colon WQ enter or solid. Now we're going to reboot our
raspberry PI. And when it comes up, things are going to be a bit different.
It's going to be fun though. Ready? So first let's type in re boot
and that's it hit enter by buddy. See you in a minute. Okay. And
you should lose connection. We just did something. That's going
to affect how we connect to him again. His IP address was 1 91, 6 8 1 one.one. I changed mine to a 10 dot or was it
again? I don't remember. Was it 77? Let me go through this again. That's
all remember a 77 or 71, 1 of those two. So we'll need to be on that same
network in order to connect to that guy. Now the good news is that network is
handing out IP addresses like candy DHCP sucker. So all you had to do is
change our adapter back to DHCP. So here in windows, I'll get
back into my internet adapter, go back into his properties, get
back into his IP before stuff, and then change it back to obtain IP
address automatically. Okay. Actually, I'm going to change it back for my DNS
too. Yes, we're all good. Okay. Close. And now we wait here on windows.
I'll see if I got anything yet. I'll do IP config. Take a look at
that interface. Okay. It was 71. Yeah, here I am. Right here. It
gave me 10 dot 71 71 dot 2, 4 7. And I'm going to connect to him on 10
dot 71 70 one.one. Let's try it out. So the command will be SSH route@tendotseventyoneorwhereveryousetyourstoseventyone.one. Yes. And then my password, I said
earlier, boom, we're back in. So here's the state of things. We get our new IP address on our
raspberry PI our new sub-net our new land. And I have a new IP address too exciting. Now our next task is to get
our USB wifi adapter set up. Now you might think it would be as
simple as just plugging it in and magic happens. It works. No, it is rarely
that easy, but we got coffee. That's why we have coffee.
Anyways. Coffee break. Now the good news is it's not too crazy. All we have to do is
install a few drivers. So let's get this guy back on over
here. We're not ready for him yet. Just a moment, Bubba. We'll have
you up there in a moment. First, we're going to download some drivers, not the download drivers
will need internet access. Our raspberry PI is going
to need internet access. So our task right now is to
get his internal wifi adapter. All my raspberry PI for, I want to get him connected
to my wifi here in my house. It's actually crazy simple. Check
this out, watch. Oh, it's so fun. So back at our terminal here, we're going to make one change
to our wireless configuration. So we're going to do VI once more. We'll
be done with the I here in a moment. Don't worry actually, you know,
we'll keep using it just for fun. VI we'll do Ford slash ATC Ford
slash config Ford slash wireless. And we're in here. We have to make one
change to our radios, zero interface, which is the default. Built-in
one to the raspberry PI. We have to make this change in
order to make him come up and work. I ran to this issue and I couldn't
figure it out until I found this awesome forum with this awesome answer.
Here's the answer right here. Let's make some changes. The first we're
going to change our channel right now. It's 36. Hit it. When we get there, change it from 36 to something like
seven or yeah, just do seven for now. You can change it later.
We'll change your option. HW mode right here from 11 eight to
11 G the down here, option HT mode. We'll change it from VHT 80 to HT 20. And then we'll add one more
line underneath option, disabled Stuart enter space on
over option we'll type in shorts, underscore GI underscore 40,
and then space single quote, zero single quote. That
should be all we need. Now, if you know anything about me,
I hate wireless networking. So don't ask me what that meant. I
just know it, fixed it and it works. And that's really all I care about.
So we're going to hit escape, colon WQ to write and quit, to save
it and get out of there. We're golden. And now we have to apply that
configuration to our wireless interface. If you commands here, first it be UCI commit wireless for
committing our configuration, saving it, bam, and then just type in wifi. Boom.
You know what? We forgot. One thing, hold on. Let's get back in there.
VI EDC, Etsy, config wireless. We forgot to enable it. So right here,
notice it says option disabled one, which is like binary. It's like one
is on. So yeah, option disabled. It's disabled. Let's enable it. So we're going to turn that one
into a zero hit I she's at 1, 2 0 escape colon WQ out of there and
then we'll do that same commit thing. UCI commit wireless type in wifi.
Okay, cool. That's a lot better. Okay. Now real quick. Just for fun. If you pull out your phone or something
that has wireless and you go to look for your, uh, wireless connections around you, you should see something that
says open WRT. Yup. There it is. It's broadcasting. Super cool. Okay. But now we're going to take
that connection and make
it connect to your wifi, my wifi, to get an internet connection
for that. We're going to the gooey here. We, so fire up that web browser navigate
to that IP address at a raspberry PI router, 10 dot 71 to 70 one.one had enter. Oh yeah, here we go. Log in with that
password you set earlier and we're in now. What's so cool about this. As most of the config that
we have demonstrated can
be done here in the gooey. So again, if you feel more
comfortable doing that, go for it. Let's get back on task here. So
first we're going to go to, and then, then you appear network and then
to wireless click on wireless. We can see right here, we have our wireless radio interface that
we just brought up and then here's the SS ID that's being broadcasted.
We're going to change that up a bit. So first I want you to go over here
and click on scan. This is so cool. Watch this click on scan, and it's going to find all the
wireless networks in your area. Great for reconnaissance and great forward
connecting to wireless networks all year. Now, for me, I'm gonna
connect to my home network, which is poor key right here.
I'm gonna click on join network. You do the same for your network. And
by the way, this is what you'll do. Whenever you go to a new place. If you want to get their
internet for your raspberry PI, it's going to do the civil
process. Super easy. Now, two things we're going
to change here. First, we're going to check this box to replace
the wireless configuration with what we're doing here. And then we're
going to put in our wireless password, which you should have a password.
If you're open, then you're crazy. So click the box by him and then my
wireless password, which I don't remember. I could go find it. It's super
complicated paste that sucker in there. And just notice this. You
don't have to change it. It's being assigned to your Whan firewalls
zone because it's going to be a one interface, an interface that connects
to the internet and gives you internet. So now we're golden. Just
click on, submit, submit, and then scroll down just a bit and click
on save and just to make sure things happen, click on, save and apply
down there. It won't take 88 seconds. It'll be done in like three
seconds. There we go. Oh yeah. So what we're seeing right here is bam. Our interface is now connected
to Porky it's client. Now we're seeing all the stuff
about his configuration or it's, it's a connection. I real quick, if we go up here to status and click on
overview to get back to that page where it shows us all the stuff I
scroll down just a bit. Heck yes. I can see what IP address are pooled
from my wireless network here. So when you connect to any kind of
public wifi or some Airbnb or hotel, this will be what it connects to
and what would it pools right there. So now we should have internet. You
wanna check it out? Let's try it. Let's get back to command line. I know
you missed it first. Can I ping things? I'm not sure if it has pain. Let me try to ping google.com
Yahtzee we get ended up. Yes. Okay. So now remember our goal was to
get this guy set up right now. If I plugged them in the recipe,
I'd be like, okay, who's this guy. We have to dial in some drivers so
we can recognize this thing. First. We're going to type in one command. Oop, K G space update. It's going to update
his list of packages. Here we go. Hit enter. And we got a little
failure. I'm going to try it again. Come on buddy. Okay. Dolby stubborn. It
should work. We'll try it one more time. Not liking it. You know what? I'm just gonna do a reboot
to see if that fixes it. Cause that's the best thing you can do
in it. Okay. Let's try it one more time. Oh, PKG updates. You better work
this time. Sucker. Yeah, there we go. That's much better. See a
reboot fixes everything guys. And now I'm going to celebrate
with that little coffee break. Hey, what's you fast? Okay, here we go. Now we're going to install a bunch of
packages all at, for this guy. Again, commands will be below. I'm going to
copy and paste or installing a lot. And within all this mess, it should be drivers for most of the
wifi USB adapters you have anyways, hit enter. It's going to do its thing and we're
going to have a little coffee break again. We've had a lot of coffee today. Haven't
we? And we're done. Okay, cool. So now, now we can plug in our USB that are
not real quick, real quick. I wanna, I wanna try something. Typhon LS, USB. Notice what you have is let's
listen to your USB interfaces. What you have plugged in and notice
what you have here right now. Let's plug in our new guy. There
you go, buddy. Do LS USB. Once more. There he is. Our a link 8 0 2 at 11
N w land. Now to bring this guy up, to make him alive, I want
to type in one command. And at this command works for you. You
know, your driver has been accepted. It's good. Here we go. The
command will be IFF config. W LAN one up. Here we go. Oh yeah. So if I type in, I have config listing
my interfaces there. They all are. They're so pretty. Here's my internal
wireless and my wifi adapter. Perfect. So now here's the state
of things right now. W Xero's doing his thing is connecting
us to public wifi or wherever wifi it's supposed to right now. It's going
to be that wifi in your house. And it's supplying you delicious
internet. There'll be LAN one. He's doing nothing right
now. We got to config him. What we're going to make him do is become
the wireless access point for us to connect to and have internet.
Now, after we do this, that's a working router son. It's going
to be ready. You ready? Here we go. We're going to stay in command line
land. Cause I I'm comfortable here. I love it. And you should
too. It's really fun. First. We're going to edit our
wireless configuration file.
So we'll do nano this time. Now I know the text editor.
It's so much easier. Nano Ford slash TTC Ford slash
config Ford slash wireless. Boom. If we use a directional pad and
scroll down just a bit, we can see that. First of all, our new USB wireless
interface already has some config in here. There he is right there. Radio
one. That's his device config. And then there's his
wireless interface config, which is actually broadcasting open. WRT
right now, if I check my phone again, that's going to be him
actually. No, he's not there. Can you guess why he's not there
right now? Because he's disabled. We're going to change that. Aren't we?
So let's make a few changes here. First. We need to obviously enable him. Now the cool thing about nano is you
don't have to do any kind of keystrokes. Just start typing away. Change that one
to a zero saying, no, he's not disabled. Now let's configure his wireless
interface. Just a couple of things here. First we'll change his SSI D to
something that you want for me. I want to change it to network.
Chuck underscore travel beautiful. I'll change the cryption to PSK
two. And just below that option key. And we'll put in our wireless
key that we want to use. When we connect to this wifi,
I'm going to put in vacation. I'm going to end up changing that,
but that's what I put for now. Now that should be it. I'm going to hit now nanos different
take control X, Y, and enter, and we're saved. We're good. And then just as before to
commit our configuration, we'll do a UCI commit wireless and
then type in wifi. Boom. We're solid. Now we can actually connect to our
raspberry PI's network and we'll have internet. Let's try it out. Okay.
Let's see. Um, can I say network shuck, travel, but by the geisha
password in Yale, join it. It looks good so far. See if I've
got an IP address? Not yet. Okay. Got one notice on the 10
71 77, blah, blah, blah. Sub-net now let's see if I can, uh,
get something. Let's go to network. chuck.com. Boom. Yes,
it works. Okay, cool. So right now you have the working travel
router. Like you go to your Airbnb, you go to your, whatever it
is, public wifi, Starbucks, you connect it to the wireless by going
through the gooey, like we just did. And you're good. Like that's awesome.
Right? But we still have an issue, right? We're not secure. We're not
protected. We're not going over VPN. Our network traffic is not
encrypted. That's not good. So now for the next part of our config, we're going to set it up to where all
of our traffic over this bad boy will go over nor DPN. So no matter where you go, your traffic's hidden and you're secure.
So let's try it out. I'll keep in mind. While some of these steps are
very specific to Nord VPN. It should be pretty much the
same for most VPN providers. I'm just showing one that I use all
the time. So here we go. Let's go. And then it should go without saying
that you gotta be a paying subscriber. He said nor VPN, which you should.
It's good. Anyway, here we go. First, we need to get our client profile
set up. So I got a link below. This will take you to a page where nor
VPN will recommend a server for you. And I like that one. If you don't, you can always select your country
of preference, but I'm good. I'm going to click on show
available protocols right there. Let me zoom in a bit on that.
There we go. So click on that. And then for our example, we're going
to download the open VPN UDP config, download gag. Now our task
is to upload this file. The one that we just
downloaded right here, we're going to upload that sucker
to our raspberry PI router. And we're going to use secure
copy or SEP. So fire up another. So like currently right now we have the
command prompt and we're inside of our raspberry PI router. We're going to pull up another
command prompt or another terminal. That should be the same on all platforms
all the way should be simple command. First, I'm going to CD into my downloads folder
because I know that's where my filed is. File file is. And then I'll
simply type in S C P space. I'll specify my file name, which
let me go find it real quick. Kind of a long one. There was space. And then the server or the raspberry PI
route, or we're going to upload it to, this will be a route at 10
dot 71. That's 70 one.one. And then we'll tell it
where to put this file. So colon Ford slash we're
going to put this in, etc. At Etsy Ford slash open VPN and
then actually have to name the file. So we'll do four slash and
we're actually going to name it. This client.co and F client.com for config. And that's it. It should prompt
you for a login. Let's try it out. Yep. Let's get a login for your raspberry
PI boom, upload it. Let's go. Make sure it actually did it. So
let me, uh, pull it up real quick. Pull up my other command prompt. I'll see. D two Ford slash Etsy Ford slash open VPN LS that there she is. client.com.
All we need right there. Okay. So now that we have our Nord
VPN file configuration uploaded, we can keep configuring our
stuff here. Now don't get scared. This is the note pad with all the
commands we're going to enter right now. Don't worry. It's not too crazy.
We'll walk through it all together. I'll hold your hand. Let's go first. We're gonna make sure we
have our packages installed. Let's grab those first few commands,
paste them in there and we are solid. We're going to set some parameters.
Let's do that real quick. So here, we're going to do our open VPN directory,
selling it where it's going to be. We'll copy that paste us liquor in there. We're going to label what the
connection will be called. It's going to be called client bam, copy and paste that now we're setting
the variables for username and password. This will be the Nord VPN
username and password. So put that in right here between
quotes. So mine is going to be here. It's going to be your email address that
you use for your account and then, oh, VPN pass. And between quotes. I
always want to say parentheses, it's going to be your Nord VPN password, just paste that sucker in
there between quotes and enter. The next script is just going to create
a nice little file with those two pieces of data inside of it, paste
that bam. And then finally, the next section of script will
actually create your VPN configuration. Copy that just as it is. It's a fancy
Lennox bash scripting. Boom. It did it. Now. We're almost there. We're almost
done. I know it feels like a lot. This next thing will actually make it to
where we can manage this VPN in the web gooey, which we'll take a look at here
in a moment. It's a copy that go in here, paste it hit enter. Cool. And then
finally our firewall configuration. We're just going to copy
and paste it just as it is. This will allow some things for our VPN
to work and you know what, that's it. That's good. Let's go take a look at the gooey
and make sure everything looks solid. We're going to mosey on over to
VPN and open VPN here in the menu. And here we go, here it is clients. And
yes, it's connected. Now we got a test. It's let me pull up my phone
where my phone go. There it is. And actually first I want to do this.
I'm going to check it or uncheck it, save and apply. This is going to stop my VPN connection
so I can actually test and see if I'm on it. Okay. So just verifying
here. I am connected to network. Chuck underscore travel,
got my IP address there. I even have my at T and T
turned off our, here we go. Let's do what's my IP address. Bam.
Now I'm not going to show it to you, but it begins with 1 0 7. The
Nord VPN one should be different. So let's go ahead and
go in here in the gooey, click that checkbox to enable that
and click on, save and apply. Cool. It's connected. Let's refresh this
page and see what happens. Yes. One at five, that is a Nord VPN IP, which means all my traffic is going
over nor DPN through this raspberry PI router. Are you freaking kidding
me? That's amazing. Yes. Now I lied. There's one more thing I want us to
do. Looking back here at Mike fig, there's a hot plug we're going to,
we want to add to this, basically. This will make it to where if
the interface is disconnected, it will restart our VPN service to make
sure it does stay up, which you know, for a travel router. That's what you
want. So to paste that config in there, boom, and just like that, my raspberry PI here is a router and
I'll just that a pretty stinking secure one. It's gotten to connecting to an
or VPN. So wherever I go, hook it up, my family is protected. Now
open WRT this thing's a beast. Like there's so much to it. Um, I spent a good while it kind
of playing around with it, making sure I was comfortable with
it. My goodness, it's powerful. It's open source Linux. It's
it's the best. And by the way, people often do use the raspberry PI
as their main router in their house. You can replace your main
router with this sucker. Now it won't be as fast
as other fun routers, like getting a PF sense router
with a beefy set of hardware, but it still does the job. And
for me traveling, it's perfect. I'm gonna keep it the car. It'll
give me a connection to my nest, my raspberry PI nest that I have now, we're going to watch Plex movies off
of it. And of course, wherever we go, safety and those guys,
that's all I have today. Let me know what you think of
the video in the comments below. Let me know if you do this. I want to
find out it's not really crazy expensive. It's kind of cool and fun and
geeky and really why not? So, yeah, so I have, don't forget to hack that
YouTube algorithm today that like button notifications, bell and subscribe
and comment, all that stuff. You got to have YouTube today, but do
it ethically, of course. And again, shout out to the sponsor
of this video, hosting her. If you want to get into it or you're
trying to advance your career, you gotta have your place on the internet.
This sucker will augment your resume. It will put you above the rest
and hosting her. We'll get, you started to build you a
website, check it out, link below. And also have you seen the shirt? Yeah, that's a raspberry PI and you can get one
right now@networkchuck.com and yet for real, it's all I have. I'll
catch you guys next time.
It's not my video but it's a video but it's a cool use case. I dunno what kinda speeds you would get though
Really want to do this project, before I go on vacation in a month, but don't seem to be getting solid answers on how to connect to a hotel's network that have a captive portal.
