In this tutorial, you will learn how to set up a network scanner on the Raspberry Pi. We make use of a software package called Kismet, this will scan and monitor any wireless networks. This includes signals from Bluetooth, Wifi and even software-defined radio (SDR).
This project will show you how to configure your Raspberry Pi so that its traffic is routed through the ExpressVPN server. ExpressVPN is one of the best-regarded VPN providers around, offering you access to over 160 locations.
VyprVPN is one of the fastest VPN providers that you use on your Raspberry Pi. This project will show you how to configure your Pi so that its internet connections are all routed through VyprVPN’s secure and private network.
In this Raspberry Pi MAC address spoofing tutorial, we will be showing you how you can spoof the MAC Address of your Raspberry Pi’s network interfaces, either setting it to a known different MAC address or randomly generating it on the fly. This tutorial is split into two different sections. The first section shows you […]
In this guide, you will be learning how you can set up the popular NordVPN service on your Raspberry Pi. Routing your internet through NordVPN allows you to retain some anonymity on the internet without sacrificing speed.
In this Raspberry Pi internet speed monitor tutorial, we will be showing you how you can set up your Raspberry Pi to monitor your internet connection and save the data to view in Grafana or Google Drive. This tutorial is great if you’re interested in monitoring how your download speed, upload speed, and ping are […]
In this Raspberry Pi tutorial, we will be showing you how to set up a network-wide ad blocker using the Pi-hole software. This software works by acting as the DNS server for your whole network; it then filters all domain names against any installed blocklists.
A Raspberry Pi WiFi Extender is a cheap and power efficient way of increasing the total range of your WiFi Network. A WiFi extender differs a fair bit from a WiFi access point. The main difference being that instead of getting its network connection from Ethernet, it instead gets its network connection from a WiFi […]
These Raspberry Pi network tutorials are designed to help you improve your home network and help you to give it extra functionality that most affordable routers don't provide.
If you’re looking to set up a secure VPN WiFi point or just looking to extend your WiFi range, then these projects are perfect. Most of them are relatively easy to set up, so they’re ideal for both new and advanced users.
There are a few things that might complicate these tutorials, especially when dealing with WiFi. For the best compatibility, I would suggest upgrading to the Pi 3 and be using the inbuilt WiFi.
We’re continually working on more networking projects so be sure to sign up to our mailing list or follow us on social to stay up to date.
Setting up a network can be the easiest or the most frustrating thing in the world. Many different factors that may influence the difficulty of setting up your network to how you want it.
These network tutorials will hopefully make it easier but keep mind slight differences in equipment can complicate a simple process. Concerning WiFi, most of our newer projects are based on the Pi 3’s inbuilt WiFi rather than a third-party dongle. The inbuilt Wifi makes dealing with WiFi a little more comfortable.
If you’re looking for different projects such as Pi servers, then be sure to check out that page. There is quite a range of servers that you can setup on the Raspberry Pi. The tutorials are perfect if you find yourself needing to achieve a task but don’t need a fully-fledged dedicated server.
These Raspberry Pi network projects will hopefully get you going on whatever you plan to do. If there is a tutorial missing that you will like to see then be sure to suggest it, you can do this by emailing me or leaving a comment on a tutorial.
