[OLSR-users] help in setting Freifunk what should I do to have a seamless network on top of Freifunk routers?

[Sven-Ola Tuecke]

Filipe,

Bridging is a no-no in olsr networks. OLSR is routing. Same as on the 
internet. Suppose every web server in the world is bridged to your PC. That 
will be a *lot* of traffic - to much to be practical. Internet uses routing 
too.

For this reason, a private PC connected to one-of-4*LANs can contact 
stations in the OLSR network using NAT (same NAT you use on a ISP connection 
if you plug in a small network). For this reason, the 192.168.1.x are not to 
be used on OLSR.

Use tunneling to connect 2 privates, e.g. PPTP(Win) -> WRT -olsr-> WRT -> 
PPTP(Win). Look in your favorite VPN-Howto (PPTP, OpenVpn, Cipe) on how to 
setup this.
