There are two ways to use the Tiny Hardware Firewall (THF).
The Wireless Access Point Scenario
Connect your laptop via an Ethernet cable (supplied) to the THF. Connect the USB cable or plug it into a wall. Log into the self contained secure web interface and choose an access point (the strongest open access point is automaticly pre-selected) and click connect. If you wish you can also connect to the VPN.
Also:
If you wish to protect more than one device you can plug the THF into a switch or hub. You can now protect up to four wired devices.
The Wired Internet Access Scenario
If you have a wired connection you can reconfigure the THF into a WPA access point with one click. It will generate an random access point name and WPA passcode. If you don't like the name and pass code click a button and it will create another. Now reboot the THF and connect the Ethernet cable to a wired Internet connection. The THF will now act as a a WPA encrypted access point for up to four wireless devices. So far this is the only way to get a non-jailbroken ipad, iphone, android or other smart phone into a 256bit openvpn tunnel.
