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)
