re all, Last night I've released this little handy software called Dowse, which might interest people on this list. Here is the homepage of the project: http://dyne.org/software/dowse It consolidates what has been my home setup for years now into an easy to deploy script, tested on both Debian 6 and 7, but should run on any GNU/Linux box really. Originally inspired by a post on https://www.antagonism.org which illustrates how to speed up Privoxy by putting a Squid in front of it, Dowse helps users with light sysadmin skills to setup such a transparent proxy at home to filter all traffic on the port 80 (HTTP). The result is a DHCP and local DNS (implemented with dnsmasq) that can run such services instead of the ADSL router (which we know nowadays more than ever it can have backdoors... aehm) and filters out all ads and a good deal of privacy-eroding web junk for all people connected through its LAN, without the need to install anything on their computers, which in fact can run whatever operating system they have. What it does also - which might interest you in particular - is detect all URLs whose domain ends in .onion, routing them directly to Tor, effectively making the onion network accessible without any plugin or software installed. We know this is not optimal for browsing the onion in total privacy, yet is a perfect way to let social spaces have a window on that world that people can use to peek in and make an idea. Here is the announcement: http://freecode.com/projects/dowse Here is the GitHub repo: https://github.com/dyne/dowse Feedback is very welcome, this is an early public release and can well use some testing and auditing. I'm planning some more features soon, but holding my horses just for the moment... among them is dnscrypt integration, parallel execution of multiple privoxy+tor pipelines to speed up browsing via squid's round-robin, chroot binary distribution and testing on OpenWRT and RPi. I'm interested in reading your opinion on all this, best wishes for the 2014 and many thanks for keeping up Tor ciao -- http://jaromil.dyne.org GPG: 6113 D89C A825 C5CE DD02 C872 73B3 5DA5 4ACB 7D10
