ONION PI:::Raspberry Pi Tor Proxy-> not relay but self-priva

Post by ghernan111 »

Can the ONION PI product provide self anonymity?

I read most of the material and it talks about it been a Router providing a Privacy Relay for other Devices. My project calls for OPENELEC in Raspberry PI to watch movies TV etc. I'm trying to do this with privacy-anonymity. If so, could it be setup to launch TOR at start-up?

Also, is there a color option when purchasing this device? (Black)

Your Help Is Greatly Appreciated...

TOR provides relaying that's difficult to backtrack for applications that know how to use the TOR proxy server cloud.

The anonymity you get from such proxying depends entirely on how you use the connection though. If you go to a website that stores cookies on your computer, the server can use those to identify you whether you made the connection through TOR proxies or not. The same is true for any site you'd sign into with a password, etc.

WRT getting a RasPi in some color other than green: no, that's the only color the RasPi foundation uses.
