A Simple to Use And Extremely Powerful VPN Connects everything, Even a Remote Flex Radio

Like many others, I live in a crowded place with more neighbors than space around the house. While this is a good thing for quality life, it is less than satisfactory for a HAM Radio operator.
There are mainly two solutions to this dilemma: A divorce with a move to a remote location or a remote station. Because I love my wife, a remote station is a proper solution.
Today we will cover one of the most critical topics of such a project: Connect the Flex Radio at the remote station to our shack PC at home. Fortunately, we can use the same technology to connect securely to your home network from everywhere without the hassle of OpenVPN or Wireguard. Secure, simple, and free of charge! So this knowledge is valid for most of us.

There is only one thing I would be worried about in this nice setup: you need to rely on a single cloud software supplier. So many bad experiences. So I decided for myself to refuse the use of such services as long as there are no alternatives in case the original supplier stops its services.

I agree. Depending on a single source always creates a risk. In this case, I can live with it because it is cheap. I could have gone with the Teltonika RMS solution. But this is costs as much as we pay for our cheap cellular subscription. AFAIK Tailscale is a Zerotier competitor with a similar service. And looking at the ease this principle works, I think, we will see more of them appearing in the future.

For those who doesn't want to re-setup a new network: 3:20 "Deleting" a device actually means "banning" it from the network. You have to unban it first before you can add it back again. Unbanning a device is as easy as inviting the device from the control panel before the device joins. The problem is getting the network ID of the device, no other way but to ask the device owner.

I see it differently. Here are my thoughts: In the case of Teltonika, my name/KZfaq presence was my part. So I consider it as a barter deal ;-) Zerotier uses the "Freemium" policy (free to try and pay if you use it for business), which is a new marketing strategy used for products without or with very little cost of goods sold. Marketing is a cost that is part of the sales price and is paid by the "real" customers. So it is possible that I get something for free because I am part of the wastage. Freemium is used because it can be more efficient (and cheaper) than advertising in a newspaper, for example.

They provide a hosted controller and convenient UI which you have to pay for if you have a large enough network. If you want to host things yourself, you can have an arbitrarily sized network and pay them nothing (but with some added complexity and the need to pay for whatever hosting setup you are using.) Lewis' comment only applies if the services you are using *can't* be paid for. Plenty of services have free and paid tiers and the paid tiers cover the cost of supplying the free ones, without needing to sell customer data to advertisers.

So I'm wondering about the ongoing cellular costs and comparative performance between Starlink and cellular. Starlink monthly charge in Switzerland appears to be around $99 USD.

ZT is only slow if no direct connection can be established, indeed. If not possible, it relays via ZT servers, which slows the transfers down to a crawl. The best option is to change things on the network level to enable direct connection (if possible). If that is not possible, self hosting a controller on a VServer at a server hoster with e.g. 1 Gbit up/down would be the next best thing, as then this server is used as relay, then even the relay should be fast enough, but still with higher latency than direct.

A couple of comments Andreas; I think the antennas should be in an X arrangement not + for best performance. When choosing a cellular network operator it’s best to go with the ‘main’ operator or at least their own MVNO sub-brands as non-operator MVNO brands may be de-prioritised in one or more ways. (MNO - Mobile Network Operator & MVNO - Mobile Virtual Network Operator) It’s worth checking what CA or Carrier Aggregation bands the Teltonika modem supports and monitoring the available towers then locking to the best one. MikroTik products allow this & I guess Teltonika do too. Thanks for an interesting video - again!

@HB9BLA Жыл бұрын

@stevenma: Thanks for your comments. What angle do you propose between the antennas? I thought they use 90 degrees. Also the mounting of the antenna manufacturer suggests this angle. We tried to monitor the different towers during our tests. But the results, even on the same tower, were very fluctuating. We for sure will continue with the tests. It also seems that the Flex Radio is less "bandwidth-hungry" than I feared. We have fluid waterfalls on all 4 slices in two locations in parallel.

@stevenm45 Жыл бұрын

@@HB9BLA Yes, 90 degrees between the antennas but angled at 45 degrees so that when looking at the rear of the antennas, if they were on one boom, you would see an X not a + arrangement. Spacing between the two antennas can also be experimented with too. As LTE, in each band per operator, are SFNs (Single Freq Networks) 'seeing' multiple towers / cells can be problematic. It can be worth pointing off to the side of a required tower to minimise interference from the unwanted tower. MikroTik Router OS allows you see the signal parameters for each tower that the modem can see; (in order of importance: RSRP, SINR, RSRQ & RSSI). You can then lock on to each tower, test its performance; speed & latency, then lock on to the most favourable one. Having said all of the above, if you are achieving the required modest bandwidth requirements then that is fine. The 4G (LTE) table on this page can be useful (it doesn't say it in the table but RSRQ can never be better then -3dB): wiki.teltonika-networks.com/view/Mobile_Signal_Strength_Recommendations FYI My long backstory is radio, telecoms, IT, amateur radio etc. and the above is what I've self-taught since adopting 4G as our primary home Internet connectivity >3yrs ago.

Hi yes x is correct. I am a long time network engineer in Australia and all modern panel antennas use 45 degree elements. Omni antennas are still vertical only but are pretty rare these days. Getting this polarisation right helps in most situations but not all. If you have direct line of sight or near direct then do this. If you are in a heavily shadowed path you *may* get polarisation rotation from the reflection you are working off. In this instance you may get improvement from rotating somewhat but it’s a lot of effort for no guaranteed gain. As an operator I love people putting up LP yagis as it allows me to move them between bands and know the expected path loss on the new band. In Australia we often only run low band (below 1 GHz) in really remote areas. A low band only yagi will have significantly higher gain them an LP yagi but risk dropouts if your modem is allocated to an upper band if that exists on the site. Nice solution and thanks for all the tips over all your videos.

Mal sehen ob die Upload rate fällt, wenn das Laub am Baum hängt. Es ist übrigens nicht so schwer die Stadt aus der Karte herauszubekommen ;-) Wenn euer setup nicht funktioniert, dann holt ihr euch einfach eine Sim aus Deutschland, vermutlich eh günstiger und der Empfang wird besser sein. Router wird übrigens Ruuter ausgesprochen, keine Ahnung warum jeder Rauter sagt...klingt vermutlich schlauer, ist aber falsch. Genauso wie die Betonung bei buchhalterisch auf dem U liegt und nicht auf dem E....klingt halt irgendwie schlauer, wenn man das e lang zieht...ist aber falsch. ;-)

Ja, wir könnten es auch mit deutschen Masten versuchen. Ob die allerdings Richtung Süden strahlen, ist eher unwahrscheinlich... Das Signal mit -51dBm kann noch 20dB Dämpfung vertragen ;-)

@@HB9BLA High population density is detrimental to quality of life in just about every measurable way. There is study after study showing that the desire to live in high population density areas and high levels of neuroticism go hand in hand. The less neurotic you are, the more you despise cities in general.
