PORTAL of Pi - RaspberyPi based PORTAL device. Certified UNIX Network Technicians only!

Development and Design Guide

By: the grugq thegrugq@gmail.com

Guide

This will guide you through configuring an Arch based RaspberryPi installation which transparently forwards all TCP traffic over the Tor network. There is also a Tor SOCKS proxy for explicitly interacting with the Tor network, either for more security, or to access a Hidden Service.

The configuration of access to the Internet is left as an exercise to the reader.

My mods

Uses a wireless AP instead of an ethernet interface to connect to the Pi (More users!). Adapted create_ap instead of using hostapd and dnsmasq directly. Also, all *.log in /var/log/ point to /dev/null so we don't save any extra info just in case. Social media and insecure IMs are blocked, PORTALofPi was intended to keep your anonymity.

My personal setup

Raspberry Pi Zero W
Alfa AWUS036NEH Wireless USB Adapter

For portability a USB charger will be a good idea.

Notes

Change AP password (search for CHANGEME string).
AP will be hidden so search for SSID "InPORTAL" or change it to one of your own (Remember that protocol is WPA2).
Avoid ads and related on client level:

Make sure you are prepending proxychains before any command that connects to something on the Internet from the device itself (like curl).
