How to Connect to Eduroam (VPN)

Cloud
1

Hi, Im at a university that has a VPN (I suppose,) called Eduroam. I need to make Spark to connect that network. But it demands username and password just after clicking its SSID. How can I do that?

If core couldn’t connect this network, at least I need my pc to send data directly to the core. How can I do that with c++ on my pc?

Thanks,
Hasan

You won’t be able to connect core to eduroam. My university has exactly the same setup. To resolve the problem I got usb wi-fi card and set it up as an access point, forwarding all packets to eduroam network. Eduroam itself has number of ports blocked, so I’ve also used VPN to access spark cloud and some other network services.

The core doesn’t support WPA/Enterprise and EAP-PEAP / EAP-TTLS /EAL-TLS used in Eduroam environement. So it wil not work.

Thank you guys. :smiley:

I have one question not cleared yet, that how can I send data to Spark Core directly with pc without any router between them?

Thanks for your support.

Turn your PC into a wireless access point

for example on a Mac you can share your (wired ethernet) internet connection via your wireless card. I am sure this is possible on a PC with third party software?

I suppose it’s possible without any program on windows. But, when I setup an access point in my pc, I couldn’t use my wireless adaptor to connect to modem to access to internet. Though, I can use CAT5 cable to connect modem.

Good suggestion. Thanks :smiley:

Add a cheapo USB wifi adapter for creating in the access point?

ha ha :smile: Too many tos!

Again great idea :smiley: I think Im going to use routers (not connected to internet) between my PC and the cores because the area will be large enough to make signals weak.

Im going to inform the community about my network design in the future.

Thanks,
