Network

Network services will be provided, including external Internet access.

• A camp-wide wireless network will be offered for use to all attendees. There is a lot of coverage- and we may add a few more spots.

• A limited number of wired connections will be provided at best effort to fixed locations upon request 30-days in advance, signed in triplicate.

• Telephony will be provided by Shadytel.

WiFi

Info and updates on the ToorCamp WiFi network for this year are posted here: https://conwifi.org/ We recommend you download and install the certs on your devices before you get to the island. Or feel free to use the static WPA key network too.

Services

If you would like to provide services at the event please send in some info about what you are trying to offer, and every effort will be made to facilitate this on the Toorcamp network. Please keep in mind the nature and location of the event, and the facilities. A datacenter grade network is not offered, and services should be focused on local delivery and consumption.

Internet

The primary Internet connectivity is fiber provided by Rock Island Communications and additional 2 business class units provided by SpaceX. With all of this, we should have anywhere from ~500Mbps - 10Gbps of total bandwidth. Please do not use this to download torrents, or hog this bandwidth.

Public IPs

We expect to have a "public" network which will assign publicly rotatable IPv4 & IPv6 addresses. This network is designed for hosting servers/services at camp. There will be no firewall, so be sure you know what you are doing and have followed the best security practices. Visit conwifi.org for mor inforamtion or reach out to the NOC team on discord.

Terms

Toorcamp network-ops reserves the right to block, throttle, drop or cut the cord on traffic that interferes with equal usage of the network by all. Please refrain from any activities that would damage the experience for others.

FAQ

• Can I bring you my XYZ hardware?
  • We have plenty of gear, and do not need anymore. If you want to help, donate some cash to ToorCamp.

• Can I setup my own WiFi using my hotspot/satellite/x.25 over barbed wired/carrier pigeon?
  • We would suggest you don't. Not because we don't want participation, but mostly as we already provide this, and have been working on hardware upgrades for the property over the last 3+ years.
  • Setting up your own hotspot could actually impact others experiences around you on the WiFi as we all get to share the same 2.4ghz and 5ghz spectrum for WiFi access.

StarLink

http://spacex.com and https://starlink.com/ have graciously donated two dishes for use with-in the camp.
