gsm extender scaleway cloud

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV remote control over GSM(3g, 4g, LTE) using scaleway cloud

Requirements:

Mikrotik ltap mini lte kit $129.00
registered to Scaleway cloud

Installation

installation inside the vehicle
installation near the house or parking

Configure scaleway Cloud

Create server
Select Ubuntu image
Select cheapest server type
Set server name and buy
connect to server over ssh

ssh [email protected]

where XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is your Server IP

Run Docker container with PPTP server or L2TP Server(more secured)

PPTP

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vzakharchenko/remote-ctrl-gsm/master/cloud/ubuntu.install -o ubuntu.install
chmod +x ubuntu.install
./ubuntu.install

L2TP with IPSec

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vzakharchenko/remote-ctrl-gsm/master/cloud/ubuntu.L2TP.install -o ubuntu.install
chmod +x ubuntu.install
./ubuntu.install

create PPTP/L2TP username and password
after reboot, the PPTP/L2TP server will be configured

Configure Mikrotik ltap mini lte kit

using bash script

-checkout the latest version

git clone https://github.com/vzakharchenko/remote-ctrl-gsm
cd remote-ctrl-gsm/mikrotik/scripts

help command

./generateConfiguration.sh --help

Example PPTP:

git clone https://github.com/vzakharchenko/remote-ctrl-gsm
cd remote-ctrl-gsm/mikrotik/scripts

export CONNECTION_TYPE="cloud"
export WIFI_SSID="WIFI_SSID"
export WIFI_PASSWORD="WIFI_PASSWORD"
export CAR_SSID="REMOTEXXxxxx"
export CAR_PASSWORD="EVREMOTE_PASSWORD"
export CAR_MAC="<PHONE MAC>"
export VPN_TYPE="pptp"
export VPN_PROTOCOL="ms-chapv2"
export VPN_HOST="XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX"
export VPN_USERNAME="<CLOUD_USER>"
export VPN_PASSWORD="<CLOUD_PASSWORD>"

./generateConfiguration.sh

Result: mikrotik.rsc

Where
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX - IP from the server inside hetzner cloud
CLOUD_USER - PPTP Username (step 8)
CLOUD_PASSWORD - PPTP password (step 8)
WIFI_SSID - Network name with access to the Internet and the Car network
WIFI_PASSWORD - password from network
REMOTEXXxxxx - Name of network in OUTLANDER PHEV (REMOTE55peee)
EVREMOTE_PASSWORD - password from network
PHONE MAC - password from network

Example L2TP with IPSec(more secured):

git clone https://github.com/vzakharchenko/remote-ctrl-gsm
cd remote-ctrl-gsm/mikrotik/scripts

export CONNECTION_TYPE="cloud"
export WIFI_SSID="WIFI_SSID"
export WIFI_PASSWORD="WIFI_PASSWORD"
export CAR_SSID="REMOTEXXxxxx"
export CAR_PASSWORD="EVREMOTE_PASSWORD"
export CAR_MAC="<PHONE MAC>"
export VPN_TYPE="l2tp"
export VPN_PROTOCOL="chap"
export VPN_HOST="XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX"
export USE_IPSEC="yes"
export VPN_IPSEC="<IPSEC_PSK>"
export VPN_USERNAME="CLOUD_USER"
export VPN_PASSWORD="CLOUD_PASSWORD"

./generateConfiguration.sh

**Result: **mikrotik.rsc
Where
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX - IP from the server inside Scaleway cloud
CLOUD_USER - L2TP Username (step 8)
CLOUD_PASSWORD - L2TP password (step 8)
WIFI_SSID - Network name with access to the Internet and the Car network
WIFI_PASSWORD - password from network
REMOTEXXxxxx - Name of network in OUTLANDER PHEV (REMOTE55peee)
EVREMOTE_PASSWORD - password from network
USE_IPSEC - use IpSec
VPN_IPSEC - IpSec shared secret

Change Application with VPN access

Download OUTLANDER_PHEV.apk from github release
install OUTLANDER_PHEV.apk on phone
set cloud ip on Phone storage /storage/emulated/0/phev/ip.txt
set port 7894 on Phone storage /storage/emulated/0/phev/port.txt

Build Application with VPN access (Optional)

Instead of using release version of application you can build your own

git clone https://github.com/vzakharchenko/remote-ctrl-gsm
./generateKey.sh
cd cloud
./buildAndSignCloudApk.sh

install OUTLANDER_CLOUD_PHEV.apk on phone
