I was able to complete the TOR proxy that I wanted to put together. I first followed the instructions at http://learn.adafruit.com/setting-up-a-raspberry-pi-as-a-wifi-access-point/ to get one of the RPis to work as an access point. I then started following the instructions at http://learn.adafruit.com/onion-pi to get the TOR proxy working. I reset my managed switch to have a port open to the outside (my
psuedo-DMZ), plugged in the RPi, and restarted it. I was able to check
it out using http://www.ipchicken.com and found that my ip was coming from the output of a TOR relay. Success ...
I have also opened an identical port to the outside in the third switch that I have in the house. In that way, I am able to move the TOR proxy from one part of the house to the other.
This is a blog mostly about techie things, what I am doing to my apartment network on the cheap, IOT, 3D Printing, Raspberry Pis, Arduinos, ESP32, ESP8266, Home Automation, Personal Weather Stations, Things That Go Bump in the Night, and some side issues that need discussing. Remember, sometimes the journey to an end is as much fun as the goal achieved!
