Tor is an anonymity network that consists of thousands of nodes. These nodes are servers that provide bandwidth for the network and are often run by volunteers. The BBB, due to its capable performance and low power consumption, is an ideal candidate as a Tor relay.
Note: This project is for running a relay or bridge, NOT a transparent proxy like the Onion Pi.
