This set of blueprints and plans are being uploaded here because all instances of the Raspbian Linux image (proxygambit-2015-05-05-raspbian-wheezy.img.zip) for Raspberry Pi is being scrubbed from the net making this project impossible. Just as the old project ProxyHam disappeared
What happened to ProxyHam?
https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2015/07/14/who-killed-proxyham/
Proxyham's promise: to enable whistleblowers, dissidents or anybody who seeks anonymous connectivity (including, of course, criminals) to connect to a Wi-Fi spot that's up to 2.5 miles away.
Thus would surveillance be thrown off-track, as law enforcement or other snoopers sniff their way not to our doorsteps but rather to whatever public Wi-Fi spot the device gloms onto - for example, at a local coffee shop or a public library.
But over the weekend, the rug got pulled out from under not only the Proxyham project, which has been shelved, but a talk that had been slated for the upcoming DEF CON security conference.
Speculation has subsequently erupted over the mysterious cancellation and Caudill's statements that he's not at liberty to explain.

What is ProxyGambit?
image
ProxyGambit is an improvement and reincarnation of ProxyHam, the promising device that was to debut at Defcon 2015, yet vanished with no source, documentation or reason for its "destruction". ProxyHam "promised to mask your location online by putting you up to 2.5 miles away from your router"
------------
ProxyGambit is a simple anonymization device that allows you to access the Internet from anywhere in the world without revealing your true location or IP, fracturing your traffic from the Internet/IP through either a long distance radio link or a reverse tunneled GSM bridge that ultimately drops back onto the Internet and exits through a wireless network you're no where near.
While a point to point link is supported, the reverse GSM-to-TCP bridge allows you to proxy from thousands of miles away with nothing other than a computer and Internet with no direct link back to your originating machine.

So what is a hacker to do when the authorities tell try to suppress information?
You guessed it, now there is a whole new set of projects to fill the void.
Already HackADay has published full plans for the missing ProxyHam project in case you feel like making one yourself:

Not so fast! Before you start building yourself a ProxyHam, check out the plans by hacker Samy Kamkar who has developed a superior design utilizing a GSM bridge called the “Proxy Gambit”.

I already do this...
This can be achieved by creating a can antenna (http://www.turnpoint.net/wireless/cantennahowto.html), I have been able to connect to networks more than 20 miles from my house. I literally have access to hundreds of IP addresses without the need for proxies, vpns or the tor network (although I still use all three). Not sure why this was an OS project, no need to trust software made by another person when the hardware is easy and cheap to create yourself.
I use a can antenna connected to an old dish network dish, fyi.
Are you able to combine the multiple connections to one ?
I was always wondering If one could combine multiple wi-fi connections into a single one.
I have not..
However, I do believe you can.. I have seen a few articles and programs that say that is possible. If I need speed I just drop down to just a VPN, I have 175MB/sec connection here at my house. I doubt a connection like you mentioned would be very stable though.
You can use multiple wifi
You can use multiple wifi links but you would need a layer of software for aggregation. You will want to research "link aggregation" to see if anyone has packages available. Often what you would put into more links, would be better spent I think on better antennae to strengthen existing signal. Also many wifi routers will actually lose performance the more wifi clients that are connected, so you may end up with a 10MB/s connection and then using two, you get two 5MB/s connections or similar.This would depend on the processor and hardware inside of the router.
The point of this device is not just for strengthening wifi as many people seem to have misundertood. This is about tunnelling a connection through GSM and cellular networks possibly across states... So you can be not only a few miles away.
20 miles is childs play
Yeah you can also use a regular router and get WIFI in your backyard. This is completely different than that and can connect you via proxy for miles, or countries wide if you really want. Making it very different than a line of site 20mph wifi radius.
How about a presentation abut this here in Brazil ?
We are not under martial law, yet, here... And we have the International Free Software Forum (FISL) since 2000. If you have contact with those developers, please, send me a PM.
