I haven’t played with Raspberry Pi quite enough. I’ll do a write up on my garage door opener project at another time. But a really promising place for the Pi in my opinion is the role of a traveling router\/access point. I don’t find the process of connecting to the WiFi in a hotel room particularly hard. It’s connecting back into my own network to access my my services that is difficult. The methods that I have at my disposal are:<\/p>\n
Running OpenBSD on a Raspberry Pi gives me a solid place to put an IPSec connection for the whole hotel room network. Getting there involves installing OpenBSD on the Pi in the first place<\/p>\n

As I write this, I’m running through the procedure again. Once installed, you will run OpenBSD from the USB stick. That requires no change on the Raspberry Pi 3 B+. but on the 3 B, you have to modify the U-Boot configuration to support usb boot. Instructions are all over the net on how to make this change in the forward direction. I haven’t seen any links that specifically document how to revert it back to the defaults.<\/p>\n
The Raspberry Pi 3B+ is a bit faster than then 3B but the ethernet isn’t supported due to an issue with USB.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
