Hello,

I have a Kindle 4 NT that I've successfully Jailbroken and installed USBNet on. I've managed to set it up as a screen (terminal only) for my Raspberry Pi using the KindleTERM SSH Client and some custom routing. My current idea is to use the Kindle's wifi connection as internet for my Raspberry Pi as well (basically the opposite of https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Inte...Kindle_via_USB). This will let me use one of the Pi's usb ports for a screen/wifi and the other usb port for my keyboard. I've been playing around with iptables and routing but can't figure it out.

What I think the solution should be is to use something like the command

Code:

up iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE -s 192.168.15.0/24

to route traffic through the Kindle's usb interface through the router and back through the usb interface. However, the Kindle appears to only have the default filter iptable (no nat or anything else) and to not recognize MASQUERADE.

I've also attempted to use ssh tunneling to gain internet access through the kindle, but I've had no success with that either.

Does anyone have any ideas or places they can direct me for more information?

Thanks!
Cameron
