The Tor BSD Diversity Project

[hanzer]

The Tor BSD Diversity Project is an initiative seeking to extend the use of the BSD Unix operating systems in the Tor public anonymity network. The OpenBSD Guide to Configuring Tor Relays is based on OpenBSD 5.7. It might be worthwhile to update that guide to the recent release (6.2) and maybe add guides for non-relay configurations - network proxy; hidden services - and perhaps include examples for deployment of various network services. To that end, I am curious to hear what the OpenBSD gurus in this community think about the current guide, in particular, any assessments and suggestions that might lead to improvements in pairing OpenBSD's security concerns with Tor's privacy concerns.

To anyone who hasn't tinkered with Tor, I highly recommend it; it's a nifty project that seems to be competent in its execution and, besides the primary goal of privacy, it is sometimes a convenient way to circumvent limitations or restrictions in network access: for example, hosting a service behind a NAT'ed ISP or getting around a goofy firewall policy.
