Or perhaps we can just turn Tor on by default, ship tor-fw-helper and write a basic status of Tor out to a static html file?
Why not allow Vidalia running from a LAN-based computer to control it? The control port could autogenerate from the MAC address.
Vidalia is not designed to control or configure a Tor process that it did not start.
Actually, it is. It may not be perfect (yet :) ), but I use it like that every day. Although I haven't tested it controlling a Tor instance on another host.
This sounds interesting. I'll give it a go and see what happens / how well it works.
But either way, if the device already has a webui, controlling just Tor from another app seems not too practical.
The issue here is that the device does not have a webui. So the question is if we need to create one, or if there are better / existing options out there.
