One thing I realized is that you can share several safe internet sites on a public SSID.

For example you could share Google and duckduckgo searches you can also share Wikipedia. You can also share access to well known VPN services.

So you put in an iptables rules for the guest SSID interface.

This is not a fully open net and all respect to those who build it but I am a bit affraid what sites users might surf on and as it now law enforcement assume ip==user who did things.

That is false. However, they might have a few questions.

The plausible deniability is in fact a big plus for lesser crimes that they don't really want to investigate, such as file sharing.

I've been running an open access point for 14 years now for the simple reason that I want to live in a society where people do such things.


I built a Onion Pi router for this purpose. All traffic on the public access point is sent over Tor. It's a mixed bag but seems to work well enough.

it would be nice to have routers with pre-configured exit nodes
