A few months ago I bought a GL-AR150 just to see how Tor worked on this router. I was impressed, it worked flawlessly! This got me thinking about the benefits of having Tor on the router. I wrote the following article about it:
About the Tor configuration, I have some new ideas:
We should not set Tor-Off wireless network. Image you have 3 SSIDs, your phone will just pick up one randomly. So if you are not aware, you will be connected to the Tor-Off network and your info leaked.
You can use the switch to turn on/off tor admin interface. This will add extra protection for your router.
Thanks, I’m very busy at the moment but if more people would benefit from wifi-WAN I will look into it. I think wifi-WAN is something that must have been configured by other users of the AR150. Maybe they can help? For VPN I’m a bit concerned about memory. Tor uses up a lot and I’m wondering how much extra memory is needed for VPN.
I think the MT300A would be almost ideal for a Tor/VPN router.
In the future I hope to publish more articles about Tor on the router. Have some BIG ideas about how the Tor project can use router hardware to strengthen and expand the Tor network. As always, big ideas need a lot of thinking and investigating. That’s why I am so busy at the moment
