====== PiGuard ======

The PiGuard box is a plug and play censorship circumvention tool. Once turned on and connected to the Internet, the PiGuard box creates a WiFi network allowing connected users to use an encrypted and uncensored connection. PiGuard can be distributed in  several flavors:

  - as a USB flash drive that will plug into a computer to turn it into a PiGuard
  - as a box powered by a regular Raspberry Pi card like the PiGuard you have already distributed
  - in addition, we will have the possibility to add a 4G USB modem and a battery to the PiGuard using a Raspberry Pi card device in order to make the PiGuard completely autonomous.


===== Deployment process =====

Before any deployment, a discussion with the partner is necessary to
  - target its needs and determine which type of PiGuard will be most suitable
  - assess the partner's technical capabilities and determine whether the PiGuard will be monitored by N2H, by the partner itself or by an N2H relay in the field
  - assess the possibility of bringing equipment to the partner's premises.

These preliminary discussions will enable us to determine :

  - the type of piguard to deploy
  - the type of equipment to be collected
  - how the equipment will be transported
  - the number of days of assistance required

===== RRF =====

In a context of rapid deployment and to accelerate and facilitate the installation of PiGuard boxes, a specific methodology will be used: 

  * Delivery of pre-configured boxes to the partner
  * The box will be administered remotely by N2H
  * An additional SD card will be delivered as backup
  * The partner will also be trained to reinstall the system on an SD card in the event of a reset problem.
