I want to install a Tor relay
Thank
A quick googling shows me that perhaps Tor isn't supported on pfsense [1].
Therefore, you may have to follow this how-to: Running the Tor client on Linux/BSD/Unix [2]
Way back I did start creating a Tor port for pfSense and left it in XML hell, but I'm sure there's a way to install on it still. I'm not familiar with how pfSense packaging is done now, but it should be easy enough. There is a ports tree in https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/, but security/tor doesn't seem to be there. I tend to think that a system built for the purpose of being a firewall/packet filter should stick with its intentions. There's a tendency with open source projects to morph away from their original purpose, and ultimately do lots of things, and none of the correctly. Although there is a case to make a firewall system that with many hundreds of thousands to also act as a Tor relay or bridge. Note that the current pfSense 2.3.3 is based on FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE, when it probably makes more sense to run a fresh relay on the 11.x branch. Instead of expending effort on getting Tor running on pfSense, I'd recommend just running a FreeBSD relay with the sole purpose of being a Tor relay. g -- 5F77 765E 40D6 5340 A0F5 3401 4997 FF11 A86F 44E2
