[sf-lug] WIFI set-up

[maestro]

quoting bobbie s. [clarifying]
>>If I had the income I would bring along a local router which would permit
connecting
to the local WiFi and provide a better firewall.

just clarifying i'm seeking software responses (and yes, i wasn't specific
about that.)
of course one can use phones,wifi adapters, honeypot devices et.al...
i'm looking for what folks are doing 'in distro'.
sans SSH and VPN and/or requiring external hardware or remote software
configuration(s).
one can simply SSH to a droid phone or another server.
i should have been more clear about that, my bad.



message ends.
