Hey guys,

First time posting on here because no where else on the internet has the answer for this.


Is there a way I can enable and disable the Tor service on the router via an SSH command line? I can connect to the router just fine but I can't find anywhere a command to enable the Tor service.

Any help would be much appreciated!

# TODO: fix the passwd, group and shadow filenames to use the real ones
echo "tor:x:111:111:tor:/dev/null:/dev/null" >> /etc/p-a-s-s-w-d
echo "tor:x:111:" >> /etc/g-r-o-u-p
echo "tor::0:0:99999:7:0:0:" >> /etc/s-h-a-d-o-w

Last step is to configure your firewall as a TOR transparent proxy. It's very easy. Details here:
https://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Tor_on_R7000#Transparent_proxy
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TransparentProxy

The Asuswrt firmware uses an outdated version of TOR. It's easy enough to upgrade, wtf Asus?

Ha! The CloudFlare catched me. So you must fix my init-start script (above) correct the filenames. You know what to do.

Code:
nvram set Tor_enable=1
nvram commit
service restart_tor

Set it back to 0 to disable.
 
I can start the built-in(internal) TOR with mine a config the file?

I create /opt/etc/init.d/S35tor
Code:
#!/bin/sh
ENABLED=yes
PROCS=tor
ARGS="-f /opt/etc/tor/torrc"
PREARGS=""
DESC=$PROCS
PATH=/opt/sbin:/opt/bin:/opt/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
. /opt/etc/init.d/rc.func

But it does not work
Code:
 /opt/etc/init.d/S35tor start
 Starting tor...              failed.
I do not want to install the second torcc from Entware repo.
And internal TOR very few settings in a web the interface, only redirect all traffic clients/mac.
