Anonymity Services

Anonymity services provide privacy-enhancing capabilities enabling users to conduct internet activities with enhanced privacy and traffic pattern obfuscation. These services integrate Tor network access, SOCKS5 proxying, and transparent routing to support users with heightened privacy requirements.

Tor Network Filtering Configuration

Comprehensive guide to Tor network integration in Pimeleon router. Covers bridge relay operation, SOCKS5 proxy configuration, HTTP tunnel access, transparent proxy setup, stream isolation, and integration with DNS services for .onion domain resolution. Includes performance optimization guidance and troubleshooting.

Service Capabilities

• Bridge Relay Operation: Contributing to global internet freedom while protecting local users
• Multi-Interface Proxy: SOCKS5 proxy access from localhost and local networks
• Transparent Routing: Automatic Tor routing for selected traffic without client configuration
• HTTP Tunneling: CONNECT-based proxy for legacy application compatibility
• Circuit Isolation: Advanced isolation preventing traffic correlation attacks
• DNS Integration: Transparent .onion domain resolution through Tor network

Configuration Highlights

• Bridge Mode: Operating as bridge relay rather than exit relay reducing legal concerns
• Port Configuration: Dedicated ports for different proxy types and network segments
• Stream Isolation: Aggressive isolation preventing user correlation and activity tracking
• SOCKS Policy: Restrictive access control limiting proxy access to trusted networks
• Performance Tuning: Optimized for Raspberry Pi 3B+ resource constraints
