Re: [TUTORIAL] DIY Piratebox - Make an Anonymous Cloud Serve
Magiging node ang Piratebox mo in a Mesh Network.
A Node (wireless router, computer, Piratebox, etc.) can be accessed across a multiple Node Network as long as there is a connection that can be established from the Primary Starting Node to the Destination Node.
Simple explanation:
Think multiple islands with bridges connecting each other. You can travel to any island no matter how far away that island is as long as there are bridges that can lead you to that path. Pag mas malayo yung island na pupuntahan mo from your own island (aka node), eh di mas matagal yung biyahe (slower data transfer).
Example:
Let's say Node A and Node B are too far away from each other:
(A-----)(-----B)
Both Nodes cannot connect to each other and their data cannot be shared.
Let's say Node C is within the range of Node A, while Node B is not within the range of Node A or Node C:
(A------C)(-----B)
Node C can access the files of Node A, but not of Node B. Node A can access files of Node C but not of Node B
If Node C is within range of Node A and Node B, and all Nodes are set up in a Mesh Network:
(A-----C-----B)
All nodes can access each others' files, share data, chat or post in the Piratebox Image board of another Node. If Node A accesses Node B, expect the data transfer to travel a little slower than A->C because data travels from A->C->B, then B->C->A.
Now, if I have a lot of Nodes and the destination Node is far away (ex. USA)
(Node A-----Node B-----Node C-----....-----Node Z in USA)
I can access files from any Node at any distance.
This is how the internet works. Your ISPs act like nodes, connecting over great distances.
A Piratebox will serve as your Personal ISP. If my Piratebox is close enough to yours, we can interact and share users wirelessly. Very ideal for anonymous file-sharing.
