What my aim is, is to set up a small node with all basic website portals preset, for board, chat, file share, and then enable the node owner to enable or disable custom sites for node users.
The basics of all this works since I doing most of it via php, not hard to get that basic framework.
I am using the Pi 3 so I have one wifi card already, what I was thinking of is setting them up to mesh network so other nodes could take and pass traffic along each other, I know this is a more complex task then setting up one little local node what spits out the websites for a few users.
My problem is one dns making sure all nodes don't get confused with one owner using a IP already set up, there be no centarl server, then, having a way to stop domain names mixing, maybe only letting a subdomain be searchable over the mesh so the main node would be nodename.ltd at the moment I have system.node/chat.node and the redirect welcome.node all working find and dandy.
on a single host, I having a problem redircting https traffic and also problem with fake internet connection so modden PC's and phones wont auto connect even tho the nodes are password protected.
We shouldn't have to set things up like this anymore but sadly we do.
Any problem from this point would be making sure traffic was encrypted or protected, I don't understand https much and I am not sure if that would be the best means to protect the traffic from in the middle attacks, One idea was to use client and server side keys but problem here is every day joy wont be able to access it and I can only basic program on windows so ya making a client would be hell for me.
Put the point of the device is a network that does NOT track your every move, apache2 as been set to log nothing same as php, or will in the end I need logs and errors at the moment.
I hope to not store even look for mac address linked to IP's thinks like this, so no trace of the user from the node, another problem is fake nodes not sure how to make it so people will be able to know if the nodes are really trying to track them.
Another reason PB was a better option from me as some annonamity was already done.
At the moment a basic pi3 with a basic but fill linux OS is doing better for me, harder more confusing, and PB is helping me keep a sign on my goals.
The Pi3 in the long run might be the wrong option, tho power is low and resources are good, I don't know I hit a wall at the moment wil it :) hope to get myself out of this root.
