virgin-media-hub3
This is a python API and command line interface for the Virgin Media Hub 3 broadband router.
This allows you to view/change the configuration of the router through a decent API or through the command line.
Unlike the (rather mediocre) web interface, this allows you to view/change settings that are not necessarily exposed through the web interface. For example, you can add port forwardings for ports that the web interface will not allow (e.g. port 53 if you want to run a local DNS server).
The Virgin Media Hub 3 is a customised version of the Arris TG2492 router:

At the moment, this repo is somewhat basic: There is no python pip package structure. Yet. And no Debian or RedHat packages.
And it has dependencies: Nothing serious:
- python-requests
- python-netaddr
- pyyaml
To use it, you use the source:
git clone [email protected]:KarlJorgensen/virgin-media-hub3.git
cd virgin-media-hub3
pip install -r requirements.txt
export HUB_PASSWORD=YourRouterPassword
export HUB=YourRouterAddress
./hub info
./hub --help
There is a sizeable number of subcommands - check the output of hub --help for details. For more details about each subcommand, invoke the subcommand with the --help parameter - e.g. ./hub portforward-add --help.
For example, to add a port forwarding to your internal web server at 192.168.0.16:
./hub portforward-add TCP 80 192.168.0.16 80
./hub property-set firewall_enabled True
Enjoy!
