getting wifi bridged over t-beam LoRa

Projects Networking, Protocols, and Devices

Hi Guys,
just got my hands on 2 ttgo t-beam boards(basically esp32 with gps, LoRa radio and ble wifi onboard). I was originally wanting to use them with another project, but then an idea went crazy in my head: i always wanted to have wireless internet on my phone everywhere in my town(without paying for a lot of mobile data). so i thought if i could somehow tunnel/bridge the wifi of my house over the LoRa connection from a t-beam at my house to a t-beam in my pocket, and the from my pocket to my phone via an wifi AP obthe t-beam.
The problem im facing now is somehow getting the internet data over the LoRa. I've found no guidance on that subject online(either cuz it's never been done before or because its a really stupid idea and going to be real slow).
Anyone of you have an idea if thats gonna be possible and whether it'll be fast enough to access things like whatsapp, or local websites running on my home network?

any help appreciated

Very very unlikely to be fast enough for 'everywhere in my town' type access, the data rate would be too low.

Might be good enough for access in the garden next door.

"or because its a really stupid idea and going to be real slow"

That will probably be one issue of several.

And if my focus wasnt on getting it to work fast/efficient, but to get it work for curiositys sake? where would i start?

Yep, legal restrictions are important, especially permitted duty cycle.

If you think that LoRa will have the range at the speed you need then your going to need to do some range tests with LoRa ............................
