I am not understanding your thoughts here… What’s the concern? Your traffic is traced no matter what you’re connected to or where; if I am sniffing the packets I can find out which node you’re on or I can look at the management side and see which radio you’re on. MESH networks do not have AP capabilities. They are nodes that are designed to allow for self-healing and then, from there, you have your APs. That’s the proper design, anything more complicated would probably either fail in a short period of time or be very overwhelmed. There’s no true anonymous connection. You have to have data get back to you somehow so your MAC is always included in the packets. > On Aug 26, 2016, at 8:53 AM, Sandwhich Eyes <sandwhicheyes at gmail.com> wrote: > > talking with tom makes me think about this, and i apologize as i have yet to do appropriate research, what if to log into a node to access the mesh network you were required to open up a email like protocol similar to what you isp does. you can do it anonomously and it wouldn't be email, it would be a way to choose the type of alerts you will get and would communicate with your node directly so that the hardware attached to the router will send an alert to your piece of hardware; which could be anything from a pants button to a cell phone to a server cluster ... > > thinking out loud here > _______________________________________________ > TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota > tclug-list at mn-linux.org > http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
