Tor Status Area Applet
4 Attachment(s)
Hej,
I've just pushed a small applet to extras-devel (obligatory warning in red, and it's there for a reason, see below) that provides a simple on-off switch for onion routing via the Tor network. The applet basically listens to ConIc for connection events and starts the polipo web proxy and Tor daemon when needed, modifying the current proxy settings to route traffic through them. For more information about Tor, see http://www.torproject.org. It seems to work well here mostly, but I've had it crash the hildon-status-menu while upgrading the status-area-applet-tor package. If this happens while onion routing is enabled, this will leave the tor and polipo processes running and the proxy settings will stay modified. To get back to a clean state, I had to kill the tor and polipo processes and disconnect/reconnect the network connection to get the default proxy settings back. Also, so far it will only work if you don't use a proxy already. There's no mechanism yet that tells the Tor daemon to use the original proxy settings (before overwriting them). Here's the garage page: https://garage.maemo.org/projects/tor-status |

It works and it's great! But could it be changed to show the icon in status area only when Tor is turned on?

Re: Tor Status Area Applet
Ok figured out how to get bridge relays (tor's website is blocked in china so i had to use a proxy just to get on there and find out that i send an email to Tor and they provide me with them)
just in case though, does anyone out there want to "help censored users" option in Tor? |
Re: Tor Status Area Applet
Thanks for this package !
It's running very well. I really like it. But not all the internet trafic is route through tor network. You should put a warning message about this after the installation or after the first launch and a message box about torify. Two last things. - I can't connect to hidden service (website with url finish with .onion). Maybe I have a mistake during installation ? - Do you think it is possible to host hidden service (for example with lighthttp) ? Don't worry about performance, it's just a test ( I really want host a website on the n900 with 3G connexion but i am behind a NAT). |

Hiya,

I've only got one minor request that reflects my anal-retentive nature: Please call Vala's hildon-bindings' equivalent to hildon_button_set_style() on the button shown in the status bar and set its style to HILDON_BUTTON_STYLE_PICKER to have the button's value label "coloured in" (like the profile applet in your screenshot showing that your N900 is in the Silent profile), as it reflects the fact that you can actually change its value (like with a HildonPickerButton). Many thanks for the applet as it works brilliantly in college. |
Re: Tor Status Area Applet
is there anything like this for SSH and SSH tunneling? Tor is a little slow.

Re: Tor Status Area Applet
After I upgraded to 0.0.2-1, not only Tor icon disappeared from the status area, but also Tor entry from the status menu (which means there is no way to toggle Tor on), as well as other icons and entries there except some default ones. :(
