Bah. Why do we have to encrypt it? It's not that there are many other people around Zentrifuge at that time stealing our bandwidth. Security concerns with so many people certainly can't be the reason.

+1 There is no security anyway: if you use the network, you don't own the access points, hence you cannot expect wire level security in the first place. Just make it open, less hassle :) cheers -- -o) Pascal Bleser /\\ http://opensuse.org -- we haz green _\_v http://fosdem.org -- we haz conf

Still, there are people working in Zentrifuge and others around it - and there have been some strange court rulings about open networks (in case that people downloaded illegal stuff, like copyrighted), so I'm reluctant and like to lower the risk for us.

Apart if the sponsor ask you to push a wpa2 psk key We won't bother them, ask just them to let at least ssh+irc+openvpn open

As most of us will abuse gmail.com, *.opensuse.org this would help each other to save some bandwidth.

Feedback welcome.

Let's ask the expert ;) Christian, what do you think?

Christian, what do you think?

I don´t think there is a need for a transparent proxy. There will be ~85MBit/s internet connectivity.

Isn´t gmail.com SSL secured anyway?

If someone want´s to setup a transparent proxy (dedicated machine) I can configure the router for sending traffic to the proxy.

Oooh that's cool really :-) Ok seems reasonable 85000KB / 300 attendees give ~ 280 KB/s If the time permit, I will setup a small appliance and bring it with me just in case of. -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member & Ambassador GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-conference+help@opensuse.org
