Raspberry Pi networking box with proxies, needing help building one.

xan326
xan326 over 12 years ago

I've seen the Onion Pi (Raspberry Pi with Tor) networking box, but I have a slight issue with that.

First I need something with gigabit ethernet, as that's the speeds of the network I'm using.

Second I need a second ethernet port, I need ehternet in then have the packets either go to the wifi dongle and the second port.

I haven't done much research on what the Pi is capable of, so I'm new to it. I know arduino has shields and beaglebone has capes, does the Pi have anything like that?

I will also be running more then just Tor on this, I will also use I2P and Privoxy. I have found this site showing how to use the three together.

I'm not sure where to even start on this, so I'm asking all of you for help in creating this. Also if it's possible can more ethernet out ports be put on? If it's not I could just buy a hub or switch (I've been out of networking so I'm kind of rusty on which is which).

    Do any of these boards, beaglebone or arduino or others, have gigabit ethernet? That's my internet speed and I'd like to get the most speed out of this. I'm new to this and its a headache trying to find information on all of these boards. Is there a possibility I could find a board that I can add an ethernet controller to, probably on a breadboard? I don't really mind having to go out of my way for the best solution. Anyways, thanks for your imputs.

     

    ALSO I think I didn't quite explain this completely nor correctly. What I'm needing is like a middle box to be anonymous, with wifi and gigabit ethernet IN and with wifi and multiple gigabit ethernet out. Sorry if there was any confusion. I'm wanting something that can take in internet, whether wireless or wired, and put out an anon network that is wired and wireless.

    You're internet speed is 128Megabytes down? They do sell gigabit USB ethernet dongles if you really need that speed for incoming internet traffic.

    It's gigabit internet speeds, so I'd like to get the most of my internet.

    So you have a fiber connection or cable? Because a 10Mbit network would work fine on a cable or DSL connection.

    I'm connected to twisted pair, but the internet speed is gigabit. So I need something with RJ-45 connections, specifically 10/100/1000.

    Not that I don't believe you on your internet speed, but can you run a speed test and show or tell me the outcome? I have a 20megabit line which gets me 2000kbs/2megabytes. And the dongle does have an RJ-45 with a gigabit port.

    It's actually my school's speed, and I'm moving soon to Kansas City where I can get Google Fiber which is gigabit ethernet. So I need gigabit ports so I can have my max speed.

    And what I'm needing is this sorry for my bad paint skills, but just so its easier to understand.image

    The PI will work, just buy the USB ethernet dongle and google fiber is 1Gbit which is equal too 128Mbytes. With those kinda speeds you should look into getting on a 10Gbit network. ha image

    So basically I just need to make a usb hub type thing to get the multiple outputs? What about the wifi and ethernet in, would that conflict with the wifi and ethernet out?

    No you shouldn't have any problem. As long as you have them set to doing what they need to be doing, which isn't much work.

    Do you think the pi has enough processing power to be running Tor and I2P and Privoxy? Or do you think I should go with something such as a beaglebone?

    you can always overclock your pi, I have mine running at 1ghz and it runs smooth. I think it should do the job as long as you don't have a thosand clients connenting at once.

    I've heard ocing the pi is risky, also at most I'd have about 5 or 6 clients, about half on ethernet.

    not with heat sinks, but with that few amount of traffic you should be good at 700mhz.

    How would you put a heat sink on a pi, since there isn't any screw holes to mount one properly?
