And your ifconfig?

here is something :

IP is STATIC and good
Contents of torrc
SocksPort 10.25.25.20:9050
SocksPolicy accept 10.25.25.0/24
RunAsDaemon 1
DataDirectory /var/lib/tor

Please try the following debugging command:
journalctl -xe | grep tor
This will be more verbose on errors, filtering whatever line includes the “tor” word (by the grep command after pipe). Let me know if you see something particularly strange, or send it to me at giuseppe@peppe8o.com

Also, check that your Raspberry PI has still the same IP address configured on SocksPort in your /etc/tor/torrc file. If, for whatever reason, you use DHCP and the router assigned a new IP address to your RPI after the reboot, this error could occurr.

Thanks

Hi Frank,
Please, can you check tor log files (by default should be /var/log/tor) to see what is the error? Also check what “sudo systemctl status tor.service” returns

Any idea, maybe permissions ???

Thanks

Hi Kai. This tutorial is to create a direct proxy: this means that you are using this server only for requests to the external world. I suspect you need to create a published service on TOR network, which is a different project. Am I wrong?

Many greetings

Hi David,
I don’t know what your install_tor.sh file makes. However, this tutorial uses RPI as TOR proxy and you browse web from any external device. In this configuration, you can leave your Raspberry PI in any position able to communicate with your home router. It will be enought for all devices using your router to get TOR proxy services and you don’t need to take RPI with you around home

ip a

the panda adapter shows up as wlan1

I edited the install_tor.sh file to point to wlan1 instead of wlan0, ran the installer, but nonetheless, it installs on wlan0

Any suggestions?
