Re: Home wireless free hotspot
I too was struck by how generous you were towards your immediate neighbors.
I second what Jonathan posited as consideration with respect to the
SLA you have with your ISP.
Have you considered your potential liability by providing this 'open'
wireless subnet? For example, what if your benefactors decided to
engage in unauthorized pen-testing of exposed DoD networks? Or,
simpler yet, they retrieve files which on discovery turn out to be
related to child-p0rn. Are you prepared to be pulled into a legal net
based on external network activity? Granted, you may eventually be
cleared of wrong-doing in a court of law. But, you're likely to be
convicted in a court of public opinion. Is the admirable goal of
sharing bandwidth worth the cost to you and your reputation should a
worse case scenario materialize?
