So, you will only need the equipment below:

The necessary hardware to create your own Tor router over Wi-Fi.īuilding your Tor router ultimately requires relatively little hardware. In this tutorial we will see how to turn your Raspberry Pi into a Tor router to connect to over Wi-Fi to encrypt all your traffic and hide your IP address. If you're a little familiar with online privacy issues, you're probably familiar with the Tor Pro ject which aims to create an encrypted and anonymous internet network. We apologize for any errors this may cause. The nginx servers should only be accepting connections on the local network (behind a NAT in my case), and for added security will only allow connections to the website which originate from the proxy.Ⓘ This article may have been partially or fully translated using automatic tools. HA Proxy then takes that connection and distributes it across your web servers, in this case 2 raspberry pis running nginx. Tor accepts the connection, passes it off to HA Proxy on the same machine. Now just create the proper directories, drop your html in, and check /var/lib/tor/my-site/hostname on the tor/proxy server for the URL to check. Root /var/www/4mgsrmirbgs22m5q.onion/html/

Your website vhost configuration should look something like this, and be stored in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled. Now it's time to configure nginx on your 2 webservers. Your /etc/tor/torrc file should have this in it (it could literally just be this if you want):

You will need to configure HA Proxy on the master by editing the /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg file. The load of traffic will be distributed based on which rpi has the least connections.Īs root on your proxy server, run the following command:Īs root on your web servers, run the following command: In this setup we will use a minimum of 2 web servers, and one proxy server running the tor daemon. In my setup I am using a static HTML website, and there is no need for PHP to be installed. A minimum of 3 devices is required for my setup. Make sure that you are using the latest version of Raspbian on your devices.
