Raspberry Pi 3 Model B: How to setup VPN on Raspberry Pi 3 connected to Mesh System

Sat, 12 Apr 2025 17:58:54 -0700

Howdy folks!

I have a raspberry pi model 3 B+. I want to install ProtonVPN on the raspberry pi usinVPN or somthing similar.

Ideally I am hoping to hardwire the raspberry pi to my ISP modem/router then have the Raspberry pi run the VPN software. Then, since the raspberry pi only has 1 physical Ethernet port, use a USB Ethernet adapter and direct the VPN internet out of the USB Ethernet adapter into my TP-Link Deco Mesh System.

Is it possible to have the incoming internet be form say ETH0 (built in Ethernet port) and then send internet into the Mesh through say ETH1 (USB Ethernet adapter)?

This way the entire mesh network can be VPN secured household wide and the raspberry pi can be connected between the ISP modem router & my mesh system?

Thanks in advance! I am really looking forward to some help since I have posted this on Reddit in the Raspberry PI group and never gotten and comments at all 😔!

Raspberry Pi 3 Model B: Raspberry Pi 3B+: HDMI not working

Mon, 29 Jan 2024 08:52:07 -0700

Hi iFixers. I have a couple of Raspberry Pi 3B+ boards that are fully functional but don't detect and therefore don't show any picture over HDMI. It's not a software bug and the connector is fine. I'd appreciate any hints on what chip controls HDMI output on those boards - maybe I'd be able to replace it

After spending some time examining things around on the board I believe the fault might be due to the IC pictured below or the components to the right. Does anyone know what those are? Any hints would be greatly appreciated 🙌🏻

And one more weird detail - on the marked pin I get around 3V on the faulty boards instead of around 1,1V on a healthy one - what might cause this? Is this still that HDMI05-CL02F3 chip?
