Re: rasppi as piratebox + modify usb content remotely

Hi Marco,

when you say "On RPi you can freely install software later on", you mean that i can install the piratebox image and then other software on it? like i can have a desktop as in the normal raspberry (without piratebox)? sorry i've told you that i'm a little bit noob tongue sticking out smiley

Yes you can. You "only" have to install it. If you use the latest raspian image, you can install the PirateBox on it... and the latest Raspian image is shipped with a running Desktop-service.

on the other hand...if i try to use software like "winscp" to use the sftp protocol, i think that i will need to point some ip...(i'm thinking about the situation when i'm in my home and i'm not in the same network) Now: how can i connect to the router and then gain the access to the raspi...do i have to point the router public ip? if yes,

Yes, you would connect to the public IP. In this case you use a dynamic dns, you already mentioned in your opening post above. I totally can recommend running the service on afraid.org

f yes, how can i reach the raspi then? how can i know the "ethernet ip" of the raspi that router has given to it?

If you run a server behind a nat-based-router (what you have), you usually do three steps

1. Setup within the router's config that your RPi gets a static IP based upon his ethernet mac address. On the most devices you can lookup the current running systems connected to the router with the MAC+IP combination. (If you are lucky you can even see the hostname).
2. Go to the "Port Forwarding" configuration of your router and forward the following ports to the static IP you gave the RPi at step 1

  80/TCP   = web
  22/TCP   = SSH
  21/TCP   =  FTP

3. Restart your RPi, that it changes the network configuration to the new IP


About simultaneous sessions? No idea, depends on the traffic and the USB-Wifi dongle, I guess
