This is just a skeleton

What is Tor?

Tor is free software and an open network that helps you defend against a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security known as traffic analysis.

You can configure Tor to run either as a SOCKS proxy or, together with the privoxy Package, as HTTP/S proxy. Both methods are described below.

Load the necessary package to run Tor

To run tor on your router you need to load the following Packages in leaf.cfg:

  • tor.lrp
  • libssl.lrp
  • libcrpto.lrp
  • lpthread.lrp
  • libz.lrp
  • libevent.lrp
  • privoxy.lrp (only required, if you want to run tor with a http/s proxy instead of a SOCKS proxy)

Using Tor as SOCKS proxy

Configure Tor

Configure your web browser

Check if it works

Navigate your browser to check.torproject.org. With a proper setup you'll get a page announcing:

Congratulations. Your browser is configured to use Tor plus some additional information.

Sorry. You are not using Tor.

Using Tor as HTTP/S proxy
