Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
my setup is a recent Gentoo system, which is connected to the |
4 |
internet. This acts as an Wifi hotspot for my android tablet. |
5 |
|
6 |
I wiresharked some connections of this tablet to the internet |
7 |
and it was -- lets say -- "astonished", how much this little |
8 |
tablet has to tell people, which I dont know and have never heard |
9 |
of only by astablishing the connection and doing nothing else. |
10 |
|
11 |
Since rooting an android device is common for nerds and geeks |
12 |
only most firewalls available for android devices are so called |
13 |
"no root firewalls" which tunnel all traffic through a local |
14 |
VPN. These come also whith an understandable GUI. |
15 |
|
16 |
My problem is, that these totally block traffic which is |
17 |
initiated from outside the android device (which is a |
18 |
good idea regarding firewalls). |
19 |
|
20 |
I sideload all my programs (no contact to google |
21 |
services for privacy reasons) by starting a webserver on |
22 |
my tablet and send the data from my PC to the tablet -- |
23 |
which is now impossible because I am using a firewall. |
24 |
|
25 |
My question is: |
26 |
I only want to allow my tablet to connect via wifi |
27 |
to my PC (I am using the "create_ap" script). |
28 |
Due the firewall I need to fetch the data from |
29 |
my PC instead of sending the data to my tablet. |
30 |
It is sufficient to get access to only one directory |
31 |
of my PC. |
32 |
I dont want to setup a complete webserver on my PC |
33 |
just for some Megs of data to transfer. |
34 |
|
35 |
What is a secure, easy to setup and convenient method |
36 |
to acchieve this? |
37 |
(I only need some keywords ... no howtos needed. Will |
38 |
try to setup the rest mysefl...;) |
39 |

Thank you very much in advance for any help! |

Best regards, |
