Example network setup/topologies - mrwhite2020 - 01-12-2021

Hi everyone,

A bit of a setup guides for newbies like me.

It took me a while to setup Keexybox mainly because I made it hard for myself. I wanted to replicate:

with my router changed to:

- IP address: 192.168.1.200/24;

- I moved the DNS across to OpenDNS DNS entries:

- 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220

until I setup a cron job to update the Blacklists.

I wanted the internal network to be: 10.0.0.0/24
and the output network to be: 192.168.1.0/24.

I thought it might be worthwhile showing what setups worked where you have two separate networks.

So Keexybox is:

- eth0: 192.168.1.254;

- etho:0: 10.0.0.1/24 for the input network, looks like (attachment: keexybox network screen 1.png)

and then your DHCP looks like attachments: keexybox dhcp screen 1.png and keexybox dhcp screen 2.png

I performed an update of the Raspberry Pi as well via bash shell:

Code:

$ ssh [email protected]

password: <default>

# change your <default> password with:

$ passwd

# update the raspberry pi

$ sudo apt-get update

$ sudo apt-get upgrade

which introduced a new DHCP client dhcpcd.service which breaks the existing one.  Disable it:

$ sudo systemctl disable dhcpcd.service

and check that none of the interfaces are set to DHCP, they should be static:

Code:
$ cd /etc/network

$ less interfaces

This is generated by KeexyBox so make sure your entries are correct according to the screen shots, mine looks like:

Code:
# GENERATED BY KEEXYBOX WEBUI

# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system

# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# Auto load interfaces

auto lo eth0 eth0:0

iface lo inet loopback

# Hotplug interfaces

allow-hotplug eth0 eth0:0

# Output network configuration

iface eth0 inet static

    address 192.168.1.254

    netmask 255.255.255.0

    gateway 192.168.1.200

    dns-nameservers 192.168.1.200 208.67.222.222

# Internal network configuration

iface eth0:0 inet static

    address 10.0.0.1

    netmask 255.255.255.0

Then disable DHCP on the router (192.168.1.200) and let Keexybox restart:

Code:
$ sudo systemctl reboot

hi all,

I wanted to do the same as per the topology shown.
how do I enable the wifi setting?
in the input network, should i choose wifi and enable wifi access point in a separate menu?

Enable wifi access point and reboot keexybox. that's it!
Keybox automatically create a br0 interface defined for the input and output interface.
