[tor-dev] Work to get tor on Sailfish OS

Hello all,

Thought you would find it interessting on how I made some work to create tor on Sailfiosh OS for Jolla phones.
This is a continuation of my (personal) work, when I had a tor exit node running on a Jolla phone, for about a year, until that device died.

What I did.
Made a port of tor, for Sailfish OS
Made a QML application, which enables a user to easily start/stop tor service
Also, created an RPM that will help the user install and activate a tor exit node with a hidden service

Best Regards
Niel

Thanks for sharing! This sounds very nice, but the following message
appears when trying to access the URL above through Tor:

  555 Security Incident Detected

  Your request was blocked.

  If you are the owner of the website
  The Website Application Firewall protecting your site blocked this request as suspicious.
  Details can be found in your webserver logs.

  If you are the visitor
  Your public IP address, assigned by your internet or VPN provider, may

  networks often have poor reputation.

Would be possible to unblock Tor exit nodes' IPs in the firewall?

Thanks!

I sent this message during my active hours, which might be different from
yours. I'm fine if you take your time to answer, and usually takes some time
for me to answer.

There should be access now :slight_smile:
