JEB Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I have established an internet connection via 3G with my Lan Turtle 3G. I would like all the traffic from my laptop to run over this connection. How can I achieve this? I've already played with iptables but I haven't succeeded yet. Does anyone have a tip on how to get on with it? This is what I have tried to do: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -o eth0 -j ACCEPT iptables -t wet -A POSTROUTION -o 3g-3gwan -j MASQUERADE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digitally Colourful Mistifier Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Hi JEB, could you please give some info on how you configured the 3G connection and how you tested it? Trying to achieve the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEB Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 After I have logged in via SSH it is possible from the menu to update the Lan Turtle over the 3g connection. Even without network cable I can, for example, ping to Google dns (8.8.8.8). So I know that my 3G module is working. To making it work, it was necessary to remove the PIN code from the SIM card. Entering the code in the lan turtle did not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackOp Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 (edited) I inserted a 3G sim card. Put in the correct APN settings. All it does is get hot. I know the APN settings are correct because it works (on my laptop) in a USB dongle with same sim card and APN settings. Anyone with some trouble shooting guidance? Thanks Edited October 12, 2019 by BlackOp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Won Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I have same issue. I'd like to change default interface eth1 to 3g-3gwan. In other words, I want to use Lan Turtle as a 3g modem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audrick Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 That would be a great feature. Since I keep one in my bag it would great to be able to use it as a 3g modem while I wait to find someplace to deploy it. I hope they put a check box for this in the next turtle interface.
