LokiAP interfaces witht Lokinet daemon to facilitate connections to the the Lokinet global privacy network. LokiAP provides a simple, responsive web interface to control wifi, hostapd, Lokinet daemon and related services necessary to access Lokinet on the Raspberry Pi or Orange Pi.

WHAT IS LOKI?

https://loki.network/

"Loki is a privacy network which will allow users to transact and communicate privately over the internet, providing a suite of tools to help maintain the maximum amount of anonymity possible while browsing, transacting and communication online. Using the decentralised nature of blockchain technology, Loki creates new private and secure methods of interacting with the internet, as well as building privacy-centric applications, such as messaging services, forums, online marketplaces, and social media platforms."

Prerequisites

Start with a clean install of Armbian or Raspbian (currently Buster and Stretch are verified as working). Lite versions are recommended. If using Raspbian Buster you will need to run the command sudo apt-get update --allow-releaseinfo-change then elevate to root with sudo su before running the LokiAP installer script. These additional steps are not required when using Armbian.

For Orange Pi R1 use Armbian Buster found here: https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-r1/. Recommend using "minimal" which is available for direct download at the bottom of the page or much faster download by .torrent also linked there.

Specific code has been incorporated to take advantage of the OrangePi R1's second ethernet interface. The AP will provide access via ethernet in addition to wifi when using this board.

For OrangePi Zero use Armbian Buster found here": https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-zero/

Note:

Although it will function the OrangePi Zero has a well documented issue with the XR819 wifi chip used on this board. It will drop connections occasionally as a result of unresolved firmware issues. The board is supported but I would recommend using the R1 over the Zero given it has two ethernet adapters and is equipped with a Realtek wifi chip which is stable.

To burn the image to an SD card on your PC you can use Etcher: https://www.balena.io/etcher/

Preparing the image

For Raspbian you will need to remove the SD card from the computer, reinsert it, open the boot directory up and create a new textfile file named ssh with no .txt file extension i.e. just ssh in order to remotely connect. This step is not required for Armbian.

Insert the SD card into the device and power it up.

Accessing the device

Obtain a copy of Putty and install it on your PC: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html

1. Log into your router from your PC and find the address it assigned to the Pi.

2. Start Putty up and enter this obtained address into Putty with settings:

   Host Name Address = the address obtained from router | Port 22 | connection type SSH | then OPEN

   For Raspbian the default login is root password raspberry For Armbian the default login is root password 1234

3. Follow any first user password instructions provided once logged in.

4. If you want to get the lastest updates before installing LokiAP:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo reboot

5. If you have an older Raspberry Pi without an onboard WiFi chipset, the Edimax Wireless 802.11b/g/n nano USB adapter is an excellent option – it's small, cheap and has good driver support.

With the prerequisites done, you can now proceed with the Quick installer.

Quick installer

Install LokiAP from shell prompt:

$ wget -q https://git.io/fjeSw -O /tmp/raspap && bash /tmp/raspap

The installer will complete the steps in the manual installation (below) for you. You will be occasionally prompted to answer y or n. Answering yes to all prompts will in almost all cases be the answer you want so if in doubt respond with y that you want the default set up and the AP will work.

After the reboot at the end of the installation the wireless network will be configured as an access point as follows:

• IP address: 10.3.141.1
  • Username: admin
  • Password: secret
• DHCP range: 10.3.141.1 to 10.3.141.24
• SSID: loki-access
• Password: ChangeMe
