Wifi as client

By default d-diot is configured to use the Wifi module in access point mode. Follow this guide to configure the wifi as a standard client for you already existent wifi network.

Disable hostapd and dnsmasq

pi@d-diot:~ $ sudo systemctl stop dnsmasq
pi@d-diot:~ $ sudo systemctl disable dnsmasq
pi@d-diot:~ $ sudo systemctl stop hostapd
pi@d-diot:~ $ sudo systemctl disable hostapd

Set the DHCP client for the wlan0 interface

pi@d-diot:~ $ sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf

Comment out (#) the following lines at the end of the file, then save and exit

/etc/dhcpcd.conf
#interface wlan0
#    static ip_address=192.168.10.1/24
#    nohook wpa_supplicant

Restart the dhcp client service to load the new configuration

pi@d-diot:~ $ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
pi@d-diot:~ $ sudo systemctl restart dhcpcd

Disable routing

pi@d-diot:~ $ sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf

Comment out (#) the following line then save and exit

/etc/sysctl.conf
#line net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

Disable Masquerade

pi@d-diot:~ $ sudo nano /etc/rc.local

Comment out (#) the following line then save and exit

/etc/rc.local
#iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.ipv4.nat

Configure wpa supplicant

pi@d-diot:~ $ sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Add the following lines then save and exit

/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=YOUR_COUNTRY
 
network={
        ssid="YOUR_NETWORK"
        psk="YOUR_PASSWORD"
}

Change the country code, ssid and password according to your needs and then reboot the Pi
