A Raspberry Pi-based Tor configuration that creates a personal anonymizing wireless network and optionally runs a Tor relay.
tor_box is an all-inclusive Tor configuration designed for Raspberry Pi that serves as both a personal anonymizing network and a Tor relay. It transforms a Raspberry Pi into a wireless access point that routes all connected traffic through the Tor network, providing anonymous browsing while optionally contributing to the Tor network as a relay.
Privacy-conscious individuals, hobbyists, and developers who want to create a personal Tor-based anonymizing network using Raspberry Pi hardware.
It offers a complete, automated setup for creating a personal Tor network with the added benefit of supporting the Tor network through relay functionality, all packaged in an easy-to-configure Raspberry Pi solution.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Provides shell scripts like installtor.sh and installtorwithrelay.sh that automate Tor installation and configuration, reducing manual command-line work.
Supports configurable operation as a Tor client only or as both client and relay, allowing users to balance personal anonymity with network contribution.
Includes Avahi daemon setup for SSH access via hostname (raspberrypi.local), eliminating the need to track dynamic IP addresses.
Offers clear instructions for real-time log tracking with tail -f and verification via Tor's Globe directory, ensuring relay functionality.
Requires specific Raspberry Pi hardware, a compatible USB wireless adapter, and relies on external tutorials for wireless access point setup, adding cost and complexity.
Setup involves command-line operations, network configuration like port forwarding, and editing Tor configuration files, which may overwhelm non-technical users.
The README provides basic setup but lacks detailed troubleshooting steps for common issues such as relay visibility delays or port forwarding failures.
