Hello Everyone!
Been away for a little while, internet access lately has been a bit spotty;
access has been hotels with unsecured networks (thanks Best Western),,& my
laptop at the all niter next to campus. I am still waiting for comcasts rates
to go down so I can re-up with them. Some hint there about my budget. Anyhow,
Wow, I am amazed at the reply to this thread, Thanks for all the advice.
While I did (in my very own way) seem to fall in love with Linksys because
it eliminated nearly all alerts from my software firewall, I can see that it
sounds to be a weak point for use with TOR. So, will start by googleing
pfSense and m0n0wall. Other user friendly suggestions very welcome. I really
don't like the notion of setting up a TOR server w/out a firewall. It just
sounds like an invitation to certain disaster. Even with a good (as well as I
can make it) firewall, I will still watch it nervously. I do have an extra
older computer that might work with a Linux version as a firewall, interesting,
a new project for me.
Does anyone have a favorite distro of Linux to work with .rpm versions of
TOR? I might change to an easier Linux to use than RHEL if other main OS are
better w/TOR.
Thanks all, will keep you updated as to my progress.
Algenon
