Alerting Made Easy​

We've rolled out a lightweight alerting mechanism built right inside of SPR.

So SPR already has an event system and we wanted to improve the existing notification system as well as persist alerts for later.

We wanted something with the following properties:

• Allow powerful matching expressions
• Work with our lightweight key-value database for concurrent access
• Minimal system performance impact
• User Customizable, in UX with minimal coding

What a year it's been for the Secure Programmable Router (SPR) project! We've made great strides in empowering users to take control of their networks, prioritize privacy, and unlock network configurability. Let's dive right into the highlights of 2023 and peek at what's in store for the future.

Introduction​

This guide allows you to setup your own cloud VPN using SPR for $4/month on the DigitalOcean Marketplace. It features ad blocking, firewall rules, and device micro-segmentation.

Introduction​

This guide shows how to setup a new E2 instance in Google Cloud, allow VPN access in firewall and install Virtual SPR. The result is a private VPN with a custom DNS server able to block ads, log traffic, and more features included in SPR.

For a more general and in-depth guide see the Virtual SPR Guide.

Introduction​

This guide shows how to setup Virtual SPR on a Micro Tier Instance on AWS, and connect to it using WireGuard VPN.

The result is a private VPN with a custom DNS server able to block ads, log traffic, and more features included in SPR.

For a more general and in-depth guide see the Virtual SPR Guide.

Introduction​

This guide shows how to setup Virtual SPR on a DigitalOcean Droplet and connect to it using WireGuard VPN.

For a more general and in-depth guide see the Virtual SPR Guide.

Introduction​

This guide will show how to setup virtual SPR and connect to it using a WireGuard VPN client from your phone or desktop computer.

The result is a private VPN with a custom DNS server able to block ads, log traffic, and more.

Quick install

sudo bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/spr-networks/super/master/virtual_install.sh)"

Open WireGuard & scan the QR Code/import config - Done!

Building a Home WiFi Network​

Putting together a home network has several subtly annoying security tradeoffs.

Users want

• Ease of Use & Connectivity

  Maximized by keeping devices maximally connected with a simple passphrase

• Privacy and Security

  Maximized by keeping devices minimally connected. And ideally offline 🦦

If the goal is a bit of both, how to do segmentation correctly quickly becomes a bit of a puzzle

SPR's WPA3 Multiple Passwords per SSID Surprises People​

WiFi nerds and people working on WiFi products have shared their surprise with me a few times now about the integration for multi-PSK with WPA3. This is something already mostly built into HostAP so it should be possible anywhere, although it is not obvious from the documentation. I'm told that most other projects simply don't do it, putting SPR at the head of the pack! In this post I'll share how it's integrated, so that others can benefit from the ideas and improve WiFi security for people all around the world.

Intro​

In this post we'll cover how to configure hostapd with the mt7915 to run 160 MHz channels over 5ghz. This allows stations to break gigabit speeds for WiFi with only 2 spatial streams.
