### Install the necessary components (1 time) You will need: #### lynx [[Installing Lynx and setting up a proxy connection.]] #### proxychains-ng [[Installing Proxychains-ng for setting up proxies]] installed on the Mac The proxychains config can be found in: ```bash /opt/homebrew/etc/proxychains.conf ``` Ideally make a copy of this file to ~/.proxychains/proxychains.conf ```bash cp /opt/homebrew/etc/proxychains.conf ~/.proxychains/proxychains.conf ``` Edit the last line of proxychains.conf ```bash vi ~/.proxychains/proxychains.conf ``` It should look like this: ```conf # Changed by JD # socks4 127.0.0.1 9050 socks5 127.0.0.1 1337 ``` ## Things to do every time ### Set Up the SOCKS Proxy You can create a SOCKS proxy on your Mac using SSH. First connect the USB-C cable between the Mac and the Remarkable. (You do not need to enable the web server, in case you were worried.) Open Terminal If you have SSH access to a remote server, you can create a SOCKS proxy with the following command: ```bash ssh -D 1337 -f -C -q -N [email protected] ``` You may be asked for the Remarkable's root password. (or, if you are happy with multiple terminal windows) --- Alternative ```bash ssh -D 1337 [email protected] ``` in one window - this should get you to a Remarkable Shell (you may need a password) Then, in another terminal window --- Alternative ends #### Connect Remarkable to Wifi Now go onto the Remarkable and connect to WiFi Settings/Wifi Connect to the captive portal (e.g. **sirgar**) #### Run Lynx Through the Proxy Now, on the Mac ```bash proxychains4 lynx corel.com ``` (You can pick a different website!) ### In Swansea Library Down arrow to get to BUTTON next to Alternative login ... but unfortunately the SUBMIT button is disabled, so it doesn't work - use eduroam. #### Connect on the captive portal Use up and down keys and Enter to find 'Continue' or whatever else you need to Connect. (You will have to accept cookies from the captive portal.) This will then let you onto the internet. If you test your Remarkable Connection: Settings/Storage/Cloud Connection You should find that there are no issues. ### Disconnect (Wifi now works) On the Mac, you can quit Lynx (Q and Y). Job done. You can close the terminal window You can also disconnect the ac from the Remarkable
