Proof that streaming media, well at least radio, can work well over mobile Tor.
This uses TCP-based progressive download of audio, and not true UDP/RTP streaming. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [guardian-dev] NPTor News - an OnionKit Sample App Date: Tue, 13 Nov 2012 04:09:32 +0530 From: Nathan of Guardian <[email protected]> Organization: The Guardian Project To: guardian-dev <[email protected]> As a test, I just made this "NPToR News" based on the NPR open source news/podcasting app... NPR = the U.S.-based National Public Radio service. They offer their app and API as open-source/open-protocol code here: https://code.google.com/p/npr-android-app I am happy to report that listening to the radio over Tor is a pretty decent experience, even over 3G. I've modified the app to: 1) use HTTPS connections with the OnionKit's StrongHTTPClient and StrongTrustManager. You will see a "Secure Connection Active" notify in the notification bar, for example, when it connects. 2) use HTTP Proxying to Orbot's Privoxy/Tor localhost 8118 proxy 3) use the OrbotHelper to check if Orbot is installed/running and prompt the user appropriately to resolve any issues 4) removed all Google tracking, advert display in the app You can find the project here: https://github.com/guardianproject/nptornews/ Changes here (removed their google tracking code as well): https://github.com/guardianproject/nptornews/commit/e0b37b8de2cff73684189a461c2f53fe36e376b6 StreamProxy changes here (live audiostream over proxy): https://github.com/guardianproject/nptornews/commit/e0b37b8de2cff73684189a461c2f53fe36e376b6#L28L161 APK test download here: https://github.com/guardianproject/nptornews/NPToRNews-2.4.apk/qr_code More on OnionKit for Android here: https://github.com/guardianproject/OnionKit +n +n _______________________________________________ Guardian-dev mailing list Post: [email protected] List info: https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/listinfo/guardian-dev To Unsubscribe Send email to: [email protected] Or visit: https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/options/guardian-dev/nathan%40guardianproject.info You are subscribed as: [email protected] _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
