Bridge/repeater mode? #21

I have a question.

When I connect to the RPi running in AP+Station mode using my laptop, I cannot access the internet from the RPi, even though the RPi itself has access to the internet via station mode. I can ping 8.8.8.8 from the RPi and have no trouble reaching the internet when SSH'd into the RPi...

I would like to be able to access the internet from a client connected over Wi-Fi using AP mode, when the RPi is connected to an internet enabled router. Is this possible, and if so, how?

This would make it possible to connect to a wifi with a captive portal. 👍

I this would be a great addition. However, at the moment I only use it for IOT configuration, think Nest or Alexa, so I don't have a pressing need. It should be some simple rules for iptables. If you want work on it I would be happy to review any pull requests for inclusion. Otherwise, it will probably be another month before I can start working on this project again.

Fantastic, I'll look into this.

By the way, thank you for making iotwifi! It works perfectly and the instructions are exceptional. It only took me a couple of minutes to set it up and make my candy dispenser configurable! Such a great experience ✨
