Is it possible to use Tor? (http://tor.eff.org/)
Someone has tested it?

Could be interestig to use Tor only for some interface…

Would love to see someone turn this into a package.

since i would love a tor ackage as well - i´d like to know if there is anything going on in that direction? has some work been done? or should i start from scratch?!

As far as I know, nobody is working on this.

generaly, would it be a good idea to run tor on a firwall system? ofcourse it would simplyfy matters for internal users wanting to anonymize traffic, but on the other hand arent you opening uo to a lot of security riscs? what do people think?

sullrich · May 21, 2006, 5:23 PM

It very well could add a security risk if the package is not done correctly.

This would be cool, not having to configure every app to properly use Tor without leaking dns and such. However, I personally put Tor in the "cool" catagory but not necessarily "useful" (to me anyway). But, if someone wants to post a bounty for it, I'll pitch in. It would be a weight off one's mind, being able to offer wifi without worrying about what unscrupulous activities that wardriver or neighbor may be getting into from your IP.

I agree with the above poster… cool but not necesseraly usefull... I haven't used tor myself but if someone makes a packgae I'm rather sure I'll be using it...

I tried to use TOR with http://torpark.nfshost.com/ several times but it was awefully slow on my idle 16 mbit/s connection. Not sure if this is related to this software but if TOR is that slow (atm) creating a package is not really worth the effort imo.

sullrich · Sep 26, 2006, 3:18 PM

Tor really is that slow.

Tor is awesome, only tobad the police has taken away some very fast german servers out of a data center for investigation, but they will come back soon ;)
