Download KALI-LINUX for Raspberry Pi Install Although I succeeded with that approach, it was much more time-consuming than my first time experimenting with KALI-LINUX– so it’s recommended to proceed with the latter as detailed below if running a Tor Bridge. Initially, I began experimenting with Tor Bridge as documented after this heading Debian/Ubuntu Server (18.04). Bridges are a great option if you can only run a Tor node from your home network, have only one static IP, and don’t have a huge amount of bandwidth to donate we recommend giving your bridge at least 1 Mbit/sec- every Tor Bridge counts! If you want to help make the world more securely-connected, please proceed as instructed and build a Tor Bridge! Bridges are useful for Tor users under oppressive regimes (ie China and Iran) or for people who want an extra layer of security because they’re worried somebody will recognize that they are contacting a public Tor relay IP address.

Bridge Relay: Tor bridges are nodes in the Tor-network that are not listed in the public Tor directory, which make it harder for ISPs and governments to block them.

The services Tor clients are connecting to (website, chat service, email provider, etc) will see the IP address of the exit relay instead of their real IP address of the Tor user Exit relays have the greatest legal exposure and liability of all the relays– so this tutorial will part ways with you here at that trail to read more about Exit Relay at Tor but we will leave you to safely and legally build a Tor Bridge-Relay as defined below 🙂

Exit Relay: The exit relay is the final relay in a Tor circuit, the one that sends traffic out its destination.

To become a guard, a relay has to be stable and fast (at least 2MByte/s) otherwise it will remain a middle relay. A middle relay is neither a guard nor an exit relay, but acts as the second hop between the two.

Non-Exit Relay: A guard or middle-relay (aka non-exist relays) are the first relay in the chain of 3 relays building a Tor-circuit.

If you would like to know more about the details of Tor and how it works from an elementary perspective, check out this post: “How Does Tor Work?”Įssentially, Tor is a network of three types of node-relays as defined by the Tor Community Docs: They pioneered the first prototypes of onion-routing. According to the official Tor website, the lack of security on the Internet and its ability to be used for tracking and surveillance was already abundantly clear as far back as 1995, so the NRL sought to create Internet connections that don’t reveal identities, even to someone or some entity monitoring the network.

This tutorial demonstrates how to build a Tor-Bridge relay with a Raspberry Pi 2, which is essentially a decentralized node relaying a constituent layer of encrypted-data that is ultimately combined with the entire layer of data processed in part with other Tor-nodes, or “bridges” on the network. The United States Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) developed “The Onion Routing Protocol” (Tor) to securely relay intelligence online via layered encryption.
