Comment on How to Rebroadcast a Weak Wifi Signal by Evan Wondrasek

Hey Joey,

Good question – you are correct, anybody can pick up the rebroadcasted signal. The easiest method is to simply secure the rebroadcasted wireless connection using WPA or WPA2 encryption (which is what your hypothetical neighbors should have done in the first place). This will allow only you to access your rebroacasted signal!

Say your neighbor broadcasts his wi-fi network unsecured and you leech it for the purposes of re-broadcasting to your devices that can't pick it up. In doing so, you also re-broadcast to others' devices who may not have been able to leech it in the first place, right? So how can you secure your re-broadcast against other neighbors? Put another way, what's the best way you can restrict the use of your computer's internet connection to just your devices; to do as your neighbor did not?

Safe location just means make a backup of the file. You can simply right click it and select Copy, then paste it somewhere else on your computer. If something doesn't work, you can just restore the backup.

I use Amazon's CloudFront CDN service to serve images for my low-traffic blog too, which costs a little bit extra above the S3 storage costs. But even with that, my latest monthly bill was $0.16, so I consider it essentially free.

Great find! I backup web files manually and it's easy to forget, I'm going to check this out. How much do you pay for S3 storage?

Please note that "error count 1" isn't an actual error message, it just displays the total number of errors encountered. You may have to scroll up through the log to locate the original error.
