For two weeks, I'm on vacations in a far, very remote location. There's almost nothing kilometers around except trees, we barely have electricity and water, but it's what we need.

However to assume some urgent work, I need internet. The only way to have it is using my mobile data plan. 3G coverage is very limited, but possible.

So I bring my mobile AP, enabled 3g/wifi tethering on my android smartphone, connected the access point to it and added a DNS proxy filter/banlist using adblocks and hosts lists to the AP to lower the bandwith. It's working very well. I just had to plug everything and it works like a charm.

Internet 3G - Android - Wifi - Filtered Mobile Access Point - Wifi - Computers

USB tethering also works but seems less stable, I will have to find the reason.

I will have to find a better connection to upload some pictures, though...
