Re: [tor-talk] VOIP over Tor
Hi, I have researched VoIP over TOR, I use openVPN to communicate voip client with tor network. I test with default tor - 3 nodes and modify tor with 2 nodes. With 3 TOR nodes, from 100 call, only 21 call which have acceptable quality call, whereas with 2 tor nodes, i got 36 acceptable quality call. We should concern with recomendation for real time voice communication. ITU G 114 recomendation, maximum latency should be less than 400 ms. Others recommendation are jitter (less than 30 ms) and packet loss ( less than 5 %). I did test only for nodes in european.

By the way, why do you have to communicate from hidden service to hidden service? Wouldn't it suffice if the callee would act as server and the caller as client? ___ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
Re: [tor-talk] VOIP over Tor
I'm working on integrating tor to a pbx server, right now it has SIP with SRTP offers Camellia-256 TLS with AES-128 crypto. -Greg On Thu, 2013-03-21 at 13:39 -0400, Andrew Lewman wrote: > On Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:08:39 +0200 > "Van Gegel" wrote: > > > I found that this is a very old idea: > > https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2006-May/thread.html#13379 > > But why for 6 years no one is interested? > > Because most VOIP is UDP, and Tor doesn't support UDP.

Not sure if Tor has any builtin circuit priming or keepalive capabilities, such as might be applied to any made from request to a particularly configured SocksPort. You might be able to establish a VPN between onions or use onioncat, then you can ping the circuit. And make use of UDP and other protocols as desired. Just as with clearnet, be sure to do a suitably strong handshake before trusting any source address/party. ___ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
