Hi, today some news got released about "The Onion Router"... Also known as TOR... : https://www.technologyreview.com/web/26981/
which has been housed now on "hardware"...it seems they chose the Buffalo router... it also has usb (sharing), 4 lan ports (gigabit), wifi-n, torrent... Technically it seems to have a cpu of 400mhz ( http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/buffalo/wzr-hp-g300h) just like the Fonera 2.0n but they are using Atheros AR9132 instead of Ralink... about memory they seem equal 32mb flash, 64mb ram/ In the past TOR has also been tested on the Fonera... but it was considered too slow... Now that TORdevelopers seem to find a Buffalo enough powered to support it... perhaps they made some performance breakthroughs haven't been able to find this out. They are using Openwrt...so a "plugin" should be possible? https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TheOnionRouter/Torouter shows how it is installed on command line No idea if a recent version has been compiled for the Kamikaze (old openwrt) for Fonera 2.0n I guess they're using the latest openwrt (Fon Backfire) Can't find a Luci/Subsignal package yet... so no "nice gui" yet available :-) *as a side note : something that isn't very clear when running a "fon"-spot... perhaps they can use this info as well :-)* https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq-abuse.html.en So what should I expect if I run an exit relay?<https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq-abuse.html.en#TypicalAbuses> If you run a Tor relay that allows exit connections (such as the default exit policy), it's probably safe to say that you will eventually hear from somebody. Abuse complaints may come in a variety of forms. For example: - Somebody connects to Hotmail, and sends a ransom note to a company. The FBI sends you a polite email, you explain that you run a Tor relay, and they say "oh well" and leave you alone. [Port 80] - Somebody tries to get you shut down by using Tor to connect to Google groups and post spam to Usenet, and then sends an angry mail to your ISP about how you're destroying the world. [Port 80] - Somebody connects to an IRC network and makes a nuisance of himself. Your ISP gets polite mail about how your computer has been compromised; and/or your computer gets DDoSed. [Port 6667] - Somebody uses Tor to download a Vin Diesel movie, and your ISP gets a DMCA takedown notice. See EFF's Tor DMCA Response Template<https://www.torproject.org/eff/tor-dmca-response.html.en>, which explains why your ISP can probably ignore the notice without any liability. [Arbitrary ports]
