In any case, we can check if this feature is enabled on almost any distribution with the command: sysctl _forward In my case, as usual, I use Raspbian on my Raspberry Pi Zero W. We must make sure that IPv4 Forwarding is enabled on our operating system, which allows the redirection of packets between different attached networks. Given that we will be using a Docker container to manage dependencies and configurations, prerrequisites are few, but still exist. I will leave you here the link to the GitLab repository where I have published the project: In this case, we will take our dropbox further and gather the tools inside a Docker container, so tools, dependencies and network configuration are made available quickly and automatically. In both cases we made use of a Raspberry Pi 3, whose wireless interface allowed us to quickly create a highly portable access point using hostapd to create the access point and isc-dhcp-server as a DHCP server.

You might remember former posts about the topic, like Hiding the Rabbit or the first part of project AIRE (so sorry, those are spanish only!). Hello everyone!! I’m back with a little post about how to easily automate the creation of an wireless access point, taking advantage of the portability of a Raspberry Pi Zero W and Docker containers.
