HughesNet Networking FAQ
Since this forum doesn't have a sticky feature, I put some of the most common questions and answers about the HT1000 modem on a single webpage:

It's a work in progress, so expect it to be updated frequently. Let me know if you have any other topics you'd like to see there.
Does anyone here have a HT1100 modem? Does it act the same as the HT1000 modem in terms of networking?

- JacksonTech - I'm a heavy VPN user. What kind of data are you looking for and how might I capture it for you? I'd be happy to help!!
- I was looking for upload/download speed and latency. I don't know what operating system or VPN software you're using, but what I was planning to do:
1) Ping through the VPN tunnel (the software I use, OpenVPN, shows up as a network interface like a normal network card),
2) Download a medium-size (less than 15MB) once or twice file to see what the download rate is, and
3) Figure out some way to test interactivity--maybe an SSH connection over the VPN to see if it's any worse than SSH over satellite (which is pretty hilariously bad already).
Actually I can test another type of "VPN" right now: SSH allows a user to set up an encrypted tunnel and use it as a SOCKS proxy. So I'll try downloading a few files through the SSH tunnel with Firefox. :) - Pretty sure it's around 128MB, being able to telnet into it though, never gonna happen.
- Hi JacksonTech, thanks so much for the great topic! :)
Suz - and yes Gwalk - we're considering how we can best feature this information Jackson so eloquently put together. Thank you Jackson.

Don't forget to pay him copy right fees. :) - The easiest way would be just to link to the site. I'd rather not have it mirrored because I keep updating it. If the URL ever changes I'll throw in a redirect, but I doubt it will change. The idea of a permalink is that it's...well...permanent.
Next up: IPv6. I almost have a fully working IPv6 setup at home. Turns out HughesNet actually gives us routed prefixes (multiple subnets too) via prefix delegation! - They can learn from you.
- Told ya they was routable ;) Though I have learned that certain routers are very poor about IPv6 implementation, especially PFSense and IPCop distros...
- New post on HughesNet's native IPv6 infrastructure. Very lengthy how-to on setting up a CentOS/RHEL router to service IPv6 clients. The post is rough around the edges but I'll be updating it over the next few days.
All this work for a little dancing turtle...
