Freifunka from Berlin

c03rad0r grew up with access to less than 8GB of internet per household per month at a data rate of less than 250 kbit even though the WiFi routers clearly weren't the bottle neck. Hence, c03rad0r set out on a mission to build a neighborhood mesh network that bundles the gateways (MultiWAN) for better throughput. Unfortunately, people didn't want to share this scarce resource without any accounting. c03rad0r knew that he needed a way to pay his neighbors for access to their internet gateway, but he didn't know how to do it. Now he finally knows how to make tooling that enables his neighbors to serve him as ISPs and TollGate is taking shape.

I am a mesh routing enthusiast living in Berlin. I love Open Source software and maitain a few myself. My goal is to make mesh networks scalable and diverse. See my homepage at https://mwarning.de for more information.
