Freifunk explained #

The vision of Freifunk is the establishment of free networks, the democratization of communication media and the promotion of local social structures.

Basically, if you want to participate in a Freifunk community, you take a router capable of running OpenWRT and flash it with a special community-flavored version of OpenWRT based on Gluon. If there are other Freifunk nodes in reach, your router will mesh with them and connect you to the network. If you have an internet connection you want to share, then connect the WAN port of your router accordingly and become an uplink for other clients.
