Re: [tor-dev] Tor over Open Garden mesh network

So thanks to your insight Moritz, I was able to configure Tor so that it works over the Open Garden mesh!

All I had to do was change proxy settings: socks 5 proxy on 127.0.0.1 port 1080

Regarding open sourcing: there are no plans to open source on our roadmap for now... but there's a chance we'll be opening up parts of the protocol down the line. Stay tuned.

Thanks again for your help! I'll be writing about using Tor over OG on our blog at some point this week or next: http://opengarden.net

Hi Paige,

I've been aware of OpenGarden for some time. Sounds nice, but without
more technical information it is hard to comment on it. Also, you're not
planning to release it as open source, right?

I'm not sure what you mean, but maybe the following directives are what
you are looking for?

HTTPProxy host[:port]

Tor will make all its directory requests through this host:port (or
host:80 if port is not specified), rather than connecting directly to
any directory servers.

HTTPSProxy host[:port]

Tor will make all its OR (SSL) connections through this host:port
(or host:443 if port is not specified), via HTTP CONNECT rather than
connecting directly to servers. You may want to set FascistFirewall to
restrict the set of ports you might try to connect to, if your HTTPS
proxy only allows connecting to certain ports.

Socks4Proxy host[:port]

Tor will make all OR connections through the SOCKS 4 proxy at
host:port (or host:1080 if port is not specified).

Socks5Proxy host[:port]

Tor will make all OR connections through the SOCKS 5 proxy at
host:port (or host:1080 if port is not specified).
