The problem

You want a device, let's call it a BRoku, to route its traffic through your home IP even though it's actually physically located in someone else's house on their wifi network.

The solution

• BRoku connects over wired ethernet directly to a Raspberry Pi (3B+ or 4).
• Raspi connects to local wifi.
• Raspi's traffic is routed to a Tailscale exit node (potentially another Raspi) in your home LAN.

Warnings

What you do with this information is your own responsibility. If you brick your TV trying this, it's not my fault. You should probably have some electronics experience if you want to attempt this.

This is going to involve opening your TV and attaching wires to the pins of an integrated circuit. If you're not comfortable with that, this is not for you.

This document is a work in progress.

debugstatus

LG TVs since at least the era of NetCast and "Global Platform" (webOS predecessors) have had the notion of a debug level, generally called "debugstatus". There are three modes: DEBUG, EVENT, and RELEASE. TVs normally operate in RELEASE mode. DEBUG mode enables a variety of logging and other debugging features in webOS, including access to the bootloader console and debug menus via serial. EVENT is similar to DEBUG, although it may not enable as much logging and has other relatively minor differences.

This is just a dump of some interesting undocumented features of webOS (3.8 specifically, on early 2018 4k LG TV) and other development-related tips.

Homebrew app ideas

• OpenVPN frontend (OpenVPN itself is easily buildable and runs on webOS TVs: https://discord.com/channels/407937994037919756/835489130967859251/906943542457401395)
• App autostart manager - dynamically update arbitrary app config and register it as input (see Registering an app as an input)
• webos-vncserver frontend with autostart option
• Package hyperiond into Piccap directly
• Quick Screenshot (expose HTTP port that just returns PNG of current screen contents)
• Custom IR remote codes editor/updater/blaster

Adding tailscale to an EdgeRouter (and surviving system upgrades)

I suggest you run sudo bash on all of these so you're the root user.

Installing

1. Download tailscale and put the files in /config/. Find the latest stable or unstable version for your EdgeRouter's processor (ex. ER4 is mips and ERX is mipself)

sudo bash    # if you havent already
