I received the WiFi Pineapple Tetra to Lebanon :) at last. Well it's been with me for like 5 months now. But here am I, playing with the WiFi Pineapple Tetra and I am in Lebanon :), a country that Hak5 doesn't ship to.

For any support, I will simply ask my friend that in turn will ask Hakshop.

@Rkiver@Mr-Protocol It's not a reshipping company that I will be using. I will just ask my friend to buy it and ship it to me, so there's no way in the world to identify this.

@Rkiver, can you tell me where's your Hak5 European shop located and how can I access the website and check it, I mean maybe buy it from there, why all the way from the US.

@Rkiver , thanks for the time to reply, actually I've found quite an amazing website which is www.parcl.com basically it's just a community of people around the world including of course the United States, basically these are ordinary people and they just simply act as forwarders, I pay with PayPal and they simply buy the item and ship it to my country. I've found one person for example who can ship it by FedEx to my door and all in all it will cost me 294$ which is great. Regarding laws I am not sure what's the big deal with it. I mean I can do everything the WiFi Pineapple does with enough experience and skills on a Kali box with a dual band wifi access point, but obviously what the Pineapple offers is usability, portability, a nice web GUI user interface, stealthiness etc. I mean essentially it's like a semi-kali box running on a router, if that's illegal then running Kali is illegal as well. You can check parcl.com and this website will simply just solve my problem regarding the shipping restrictions. And again getting in trouble with the local laws is not something that going to happen since Lebanon is a developing third world country and computer crime laws and regulations still don't exist or are pretty outdated, there's no FCC like in the US for example. I am not saying that I am willing to violate the law, no, I will be running a lab with an isolated environment and performing penetration tests as well as introducing this cool device to other security people in conferences and demoing it since it's not available here and they will be exited about it.

Thanks for that link! That's pretty useful, it's from eBay and it's shipped worldwide, however, you see it's not from the official seller i.e. hak5, so basically I should trust that guy and be sure that the Tetra he's offering is in fact fully operational and in great condition, also what if I want to get the Tactical edition with all its accessories. Also the link you provided is good but that's the last tetra the seller has got :S and I am planning to buy one of these by the end of this month. My current plan is basically let my friend in Sweden buy it and ship it to me but that would double the cost, also I don't know if he received the Tetra if he would be able to ship it to Lebanon or they will prohibit him from doing so for some legal reason...

When you say I can not, does that mean that they will check the address that I am shipping to and if it says something like "borderlinx" in it, they will simply ignore my order? And in that case how would I ever get my hands of hak5 products? I mean turkey is near Lebanon, also I've got a friend in sweden, I can let him buy it and then ship it to me. But that would raise the cost from 200$ to maybe 400$ doubling it, I mean I can't find any other solution.

Also when you said shipping to certain parts of the world is restricted for various reasons, and for good reasons. Such as what?

Hi Rkiver, Thanks for the reply. So who can I contact to make sure if I can use a service like borderlinx or not?

Hello everyone, I am a little bit new to the WiFi Pineapple Tetra device and specially to the Hak5 Community :D but I am pretty interested in it and I want to get one. However I have some problems. First of all I live in Lebanon hakshop doesn't ship this to my country, second of all hakshop only supports PayPal which also isn't supported in Lebanon. So in this case I started thinking of borderlinx (www.borderlinx.com) and this company provides the user a US address that I can ship the products to and later on ship to Lebanon and they also have a concierge service that can buy the product using PayPal. This sounds like good and bad because well first of all this would definitely increase the overall price that I am going to pay, first to pay the shipment price for borderlinx to US address then the shipment price to Lebanon along with the custom fees and taxes and also pay the concierge fee (5% of the product price), well I don't care I'll pay whatever amount but I also checked on the hakshop website on the terms/policies page that they prohibit freight forwarding services? Does that mean that I can't user borderlinx? And in that case how in the world would I get my hands on this amazing product? On the other hand, I wanna ask about the compatible and supported mobile hotspots. My Telco provider has the "Huawei 4G E5786Bs" Mobile Hotspot, but does it support USB Tethering? Is it compatible with Pineapple Tetra which essentially is based on OpenWRT which is Linux? Also I really didn't find much documentation and videos online. Any help would be much appreciated.
