Let’s use BATMAN-ADV to set up the mesh network (for educational purposes once again🌚)
#NigeriaDecides #NigeriaElection2023
1/7 Check hardware compatibility: Before starting, check if your hardware is compatible with BATMAN-ADV. It works with most Wi-Fi devices that support the IEEE 802.11s standard. You'll also need a computer running Linux.
2/7 Install BATMAN-ADV: To install BATMAN-ADV, open a terminal and enter the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install batctl

This will install the BATMAN-ADV tools.
3/7 Configure network interfaces: Next, configure the network interfaces. First, create a bridge interface:

sudo ip link add name br0 type bridge

Then, add your Wi-Fi interface to the bridge:

sudo ip link set dev wlan0 master br0
4/7 Enable mesh networking: Enable mesh networking on the bridge interface:

sudo batctl if add br0
5/7 Set up a mesh network: Set up a mesh network by assigning a unique mesh ID to each device in the network. On each device, open a terminal and enter the following command:

sudo batctl meshif <mesh ID> create

Replace "<mesh ID>" with a unique identifier for each device.
6/7 Connect to the mesh network: Connect to the mesh network by entering the following command on each device:

sudo ifconfig bat0 up
7/7 Test the network: Test the network by pinging other devices in the network. To ping a device, enter the following command:

ping <device IP address>

Replace "<device IP address>" with the IP address of the device you want to ping.

How to access the internet in a complete shutdown (only for educational purposes 🙃)
A 🧵
1/6 Use a VPN: A VPN can help you access the internet by encrypting your internet traffic and routing it through a server outside of your country. Choose a VPN with strong encryption and a no-logging policy to protect your privacy.
2/6 Use a proxy server: A proxy server can act as an intermediary between your computer and the internet. By routing your internet traffic through a proxy server located outside of your country, you can access blocked websites and services.
