- Simple firewalling, as in shut it all down except for Tor.
- Configure Tor as entry node, exit node, bridge node (quite
straightforward).
- If running as exit node (recommended), then the Tor node should
have its own public IP addy, to avoid other home network users
from experiencing quirks of occasional node banning.
- Configure Tor according to the HW of the box (RAM and network
bandwidth).
Be happy.
Tor is text based config. The most time consuming part is reading the
config manual.
