I am attempting to accomplish multiple outcomes here:
- Configure a Raspberry Pi (B+ Model) as an XMPP server to utilize ChatSecure
- Configure a Raspberry Pi (Latest Model, yet to purchase) as a TOR Relay for routing
Should I configure my home PC to route traffic to my TOR Relay and then VPN, and if so, how?
I believe the appropriate steps to ensure all internet traffic via my browser would be:
- Download OperaTOR (Or your TOR Browser)
- Install OperaTOR - a TOR client for the Opera browser.
- Verify that TOR is working correctly using the pre-installed
bookmark
"Are you using Tor?
- Start Google Chrome.
- Using the Tools menus (it looks like a wrench), choose options,

". Scroll down to "Network
" and click the "Change Proxy Setting
" button. Under the "Connections

" and port8118
.

However I want to ensure ALL traffic (in this case, my concern is P2P downloads) is routed through TOR. This is simple to achieve (I believe) with the use of Anomos, simply enter in the Proxy Address (127.0.0.1:8118
) and I believe all traffic will route through the TOR network.
Now of course, without selecting a VPN provider that does not support TOR, it is essentially useless (I believe) and of course adds additional stress/delays to the TOR network.
By using the client I have listed above, I have ensured P2P and HTTP requests go through TOR (and I assume my VPN first).
If employing (I plan on having 3 TOR Relays) with DL and Upload limits applied on my PC, would this negatively affect the TOR community, or would my traffic generally be all local?
Sorry for the poor terminology here guys, I hope you are able to see where I am going with this.
