Build web filter modules for ARM

Feature
42

thanks to the great work of @denis.robel and @mark_nl , i’ve updated the wiki and some packages of NS7 on Raspberry…

if someone want to test it, this should be the howto to install ns7+hostapd+Proxy on rpi3 based on @denis.robel work, but in an easier way

install centos7 and nethserver as per wiki page (new one)
http://wiki.nethserver.org/doku.php?id=ns7_rasp

then configure the hostapd+proxy:

optional:
change CPU frequency to 1000 Mhz - for faster compiling
vi /boot/config.txt
systemctl reboot

  1. Enable wifi as decribed in /root/README

curl --location https://github.com/RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree/raw/master/brcm80211/brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.bin > /usr/lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.bin
curl --location https://github.com/RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree/raw/master/brcm80211/brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.txt > /usr/lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.txt

systemctl reboot

  1. Install Hostapd:

yum install hostapd
edit /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

########################################################################################################### begin hostapd.conf 
#
# This will give you a minimal, insecure wireless network.
# 
# DO NOT BE SATISFIED WITH THAT!!!
#
# A complete, well commented example configuration file is
# available here:
#
#       /usr/share/doc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
#
# For more information, look here:
#
#       http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/hostapd
#
ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
# Some usable default settings...
macaddr_acl=0        # macaddr_acl will be managed from dhcp ...
auth_algs=1
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
# Uncomment these for base WPA & WPA2 support with a pre-shared key
wpa=3
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
# DO NOT FORGET TO SET A WPA PASSPHRASE!!
wpa_passphrase=YOURSECRETPASSWORD
# Most modern wireless drivers in the kernel need driver=nl80211
driver=nl80211
# Customize these for your local configuration...
interface=wlan0
hw_mode=g
channel=1
ssid=YOURSSID
########################################################################################################## end hostapd.conf

and enable hostapd.service:
systemctl enable hostapd.service
systemctl start hostapd

now you should see your wifi but you wont get an IP address because dhcp is not ready yet

  1. install web content filter from Software Center -> Extras and Testing

  2. login to nethserver web interface

set wlan0 to green network
set eth0 to red network

configure dhcp for wlan0

configure web-proxy
configure web-contenfilter
wait one day and check Reports->Web Proxy stats

##end

if there are error/problem, please let me know…
when confirmed to work, i’ll put the howto in the wiki.
tnx

I think we need a nethserver-hostapd, but this is another thread :slight_smile:
