Anonymity Network (Tor)

What is Tor?

Tor is a network of server operated by volunteers. It allows users of these servers to improve their privacy and security while surfing on the Internet. You FreedomBox provides an application to navigate on Tor network.

Using Tor to browse anonymously

Tor Browser is the recommended way to browse the web using Tor. You can download the Tor Browser from https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html and follow the instructions on that site to install and run it.

Using Tor Hidden Service to access your FreedomBox

Tor Hidden Service provides a way to access your FreedomBox, even if it's behind a router or firewall.

To enable Tor Hidden Service, first navigate to the Anonymity Network (Tor) page. (If you don't see it, click on the FreedomBox logo at the top-left of the page, to go to the main Apps page.) On the Anonymity Network (Tor) page, under Configuration, check "Enable Tor Hidden Service", then press the Update setup button. Tor will be reconfigured and restarted.

After a while, the page will refresh and under Status, you will see a table listing the Hidden Service .onion address. Copy the entire address (ending in .onion) and paste it into the Tor Browser's address field, and you should be able to access your FreedomBox. (You may see a certificate warning because FreedomBox has a self-signed certificate.)

Currently only HTTP (port 80) and HTTPS (port 443) are accessible through the Tor Hidden Service configured on the FreedomBox.

Using Tor SOCKS port (advanced)

FreedomBox provides a Tor SOCKS port that other applications can connect to, in order to route their traffic over the Tor network. This port is accessible on any interfaces configured in the internal firewall zone. To configure the application, set SOCKS Host to the internal network connection's IP address, and set the SOCKS Port to 9050.
