You can even become a TOR exit node, if you really want to help to expand the TOR network. You could decide to become a relay node to contribute to the TOR network, but remember that this will cost you some of your bandwidth (at least 30kB/s).Īnd your Raspberry Pi will suffer a higher processor load, depending on your shared speed setting. With the setup I describe on this page you do not share any of your network resources with the TOR network. So, if you are really concerned about getting real good privacy go for the TOR Browser package or use Tails instead. Remember that your normal browser is leaking a lot of privacy information with saved sessions and cookies. Is a TOR router a good substitute for the Tor Browser or Tails?īoth the TOR Browser and the Tails package offer much more privacy protection than just a TOR router could. Only when I'm downloading a lot (virus definitions and security updates on my patient computers for instance) will the CPU load of the router go up to about 60 to 70%.
When I don't actually use the TOR network this doesn't put a notiecable extra load on the machine. I'm running my TOR router 24/7 on my Pi SB-Bus driver so I can use it whenever I want to. This is definitely something I can do without when I'm helping people with their Windoze problems. My ISP might even disconnect me from the internet completely if he finds virus or botnet traffic from my network. I mainly use my TOR network to connect virus infected guest computers to the internet, without having to fear that the viruses might spread to my own network. Remember the entire internet is full of criminals, that doesn't stop you from using that either, is it? Unfortunately this also includes criminals. No, it has been set up for people like you and me who are concerned about their privacy. Isn't the TOR network more for criminals? Simply hook up your computer to the TOR enabled network of your TOR router and no one will know what your real IP address is. With such a router you create a separate network on which you can surf the internet through the TOR network, without bothering about setting up the software on your client computer(s). It is more a description of how to setup a TOR router, using your Raspberry Pi as the router hardware. This page is not a tutorial on how to stay anonymous on the internet. Logging in to most services on the internet, either knowingly or unknowingly, can still reveal your identity. However this doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want though. Thanks to TOR your internet traffic can no longer be traced back to you. With TOR you can make your internet traffic a bit more anonymous. Change Your Raspberry Pi Into A TOR Router
