Zerobox

Introduction

ARM board running Tor + YaCy + ZeroNet

Toolchain

Armbian is a cross-compiling toolchain project that runs on x86 hardware and generates Debian images for ARM boards:

Scope

Can potentially serve as a Tor Bridge and also a seed node for other kinds of P2P services in the future.

• Bridges don't need the up-time/maintenance/bandwidth of a proper Tor relay.

• Transports like Snowflake eliminate the need for TCP forwarding configurations. Command line for embedded and headless applications is planned.

Usability

• A SSH/VNC server listens only on a link local address

that is accessible from their PC directly through an Ethernet connection only:

• Does not need an existing network connection to administrate the box.
• Does not expose the box to SSH attacks on conventional networks.

• Authenticated HSs can be optionally setup for advanced users who want a secure way to connect to the box remotely.

• https://sandstorm.io/ - a project for making server usability as easy as Android.
