Freedom Lan Using Anonymous Middle Router with Tranparent Tor

5/11/2011

 
I have seen many posts discussing providing free Wi-Fi with Tor. I did this a long time ago and I realize my external test lab uses a similar concept so I decided to show it here. This configuration is designed to require a computer with two network interfaces.  I used an old 802.11b transmitter bridged to the LAN interface to connect people to Tor.

You will essentially follow the Middle Box instructions from the Tor web site to make this work.

I used OpenBSD 4.9 for the task, but the instructions show many operating systems will work. So, after a clean install, make the torrc, pf.conf. and dhcpd.conf changes. Use static addresses or DHCP at your own discretion..  This config assumes inteface pcn0 to be the gateway and pcn1 is the dhcpd LAN and they are already configured.

Configure torrc with transparent mode settings as described in the Middle Box guide.
Configure Internal Lan as 192.168.168.55.10.
Configure dhcpd.conf to serve that LAN.
Configure rc.local to start Tor on bootup..

Many will use this for free public Wi-Fi through Tor. I use it as the basis of my Tor test network. I setup an internal interface and I have Damn Small Linux virtual machine boot up and get a DHCP assignment from the Tor middlebox. I have said before that Tor can do so much more than just be an anonymizing tool.

So, here we see the fruits of of our labor.  On bootup, Tor is running in transparent proxy mode.  This is the output you would like to see.  The daemon log will show bootstrap at 100% when it is ready to do its job.

Here, you see the OpenBSD server uses intnet on VirtualBox.  This would be your internal physical LAN if you were using a phyiscal server.

Picture
Damn Small Linux (DSL) running in an anonymous LAN
Here is Damn Small Linux with an IP address identification service verifying we are indeed using the Tor network.  You would see the exit node change at regular intervals if you check back every 10 minutes or so.
