Uau! So simple!
I'm still thinking if will work for my machines...

Doesn't dhcp server supply proxy information too?
Otherwise, I don't know what to do with the Androids.

What cheap screens do you used with raspberry pi?

Does this PiTFT work?

Then, I'll have to choose between a pi+keyboard+display, and a secondhand atom 
netbook (7-10").
Btw, the usb keyboard and hdmi display are ok on plan9? I'm talking about 
drivers and plug and play stuff.

it's hard to fix things remotely too :)

I want a safe door to the outside world, and as plan9 is simpler ...
But as I think about, I better take care more about WiFi key or clients being 
tricked to execute unwanted code, than for exploits in the current router.

It might be silly, but how about this:

ISP router - Plan9 - Linux+P9P

Mount the /net from Plan9 machine on the Linux machine, and add some iptables 
rules.
Do you think it will work?




[9fans] DNS/DHCP/AUTH with Raspberry Pi?

2014-10-10 Thread brankush
Hello,

I'm new to Plan9, using acme/p9p for a couple of months, and I want to add 
plan9 machines to my network. I'm thinking that a DNS/DHCP/AUTH server will be 
an easy step. If this machine could have the role of an Internet 
firewall/nat-router it will be even better.

Do you think plan9+raspi can handle this?
What is the recommended size for the SD card for this role?
Do you recommend other hardware? I don't know what tasks need console access 
during maintenance.

I'll be grateful for any pointers, links and advises.
Thank you.
