jrouter

Home-grown alternative implementation of Apple Internet Router 3.0

Goals

• Full compatibility with Apple Internet Router 3.0
• Function on modern operating systems
• EtherTalk support

TashTalk could be a stretch goal, if I can acquire one!

How to use

WARNING: It Barely Works™

First, set up a jrouter.yaml (use the one in this repo as an example).

TODO: explain the configuration file

Building and running:

go install gitea.drjosh.dev/josh/jrouter@latest
sudo setcap 'CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE=ep CAP_NET_RAW=ep' ~/go/bin/jrouter
~/go/bin/jrouter

• NET_BIND_SERVICE is needed to bind UDP port 387 (for talking between AIRs)
• NET_RAW is needed for EtherTalk
