Hi Gozu-san, thanks for the links! They seem like good starting points for such a project. Such a box would be, when designed and fully configured, a good and stable way for people wanting to give their machines secure www access. Other than the software config, I could also imagine certain hard

Re: [tor-talk] Designing a secure "Tor box" for safe web browsing?

As the router for a VirtualBox internal network, ra's Tor gateway VM does basically what you describe. You could route that to a physical NIC on the host. Or you could replicate the setup in a Soekris etc box. JanusVM might also work for you. Basicall

Hi Fabio, Before you (or someone else) start to even think about hijacking traffic, which is against mostly everything the Tor project stands for, apply or help us apply for grants. There is a large number of grants a Tor exit node operator, especially if it's an officially registered non-profit o

[tor-talk] Designing a secure "Tor box" for safe web browsing?

Hi all, so, I've been browsing the web using Tor for some time now, and I have to say that, at least with the cir quid I am currently using, I'm quite impressed with the performance, especially since I'm only connected through a 3g ap at the moment! So, I've had a look around the Torproject site

Re: [tor-talk] Connection / socket issues with Tor on Mac OS

Uh, woops. Checked my tor inbox before checking my main inbox. The main issue appears to be debugging CDN support for HTTPS for all urls rather than any particular opposition to allowing anonymous access to encrypted content. Sorry for the noise. Thus spake Mike Perry (mikepe...@fscked.org): > T
