We need your feedback!!
We hope this version pleases you. However, we are dependent on feedback. It is not just about fixing bugs and improving usability, but also about supporting additional interfaces and hardware in future releases:
- What do you like?
- What should be improved (why and how)?
- What would you like to see next? Which features do you request?
With the TorBox GitHub repository, it is straightforward for anyone to report issues, modify the code, and submit a pull request. Because we continue to travel, it sometimes takes longer to address issues and proposals.
For future versions, we need to understand your requirements and what you would like to see from the Onion Services implementation. Please feel free to use the discussion forum to share your needs with us.
Running torbox-mini-20260322-v055.img on a raspberry pi zero 2 w I have tested torbox mini on a new installed instance of debian 12 x86 64bit and torbox mini worked. I have tested torbox mini on a new installed instance of trisquel 12 x86 64bit and torbox mini worked. Maybe it will amuse you to get to know that when connecting torbox mini to an ancient 32bit computer running slax-32bit-debian-12.2.0.iso from a dvd torbox mini worked and the computer like the debian and trisquel computers also got an internet connection. If torbox.ch works as claimed then you should be praised for your work.
Regarding torbox mini on a raspberry pi zero 2 w it is required that the computer you connect the rpi zero 2 w to by usb supports RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget.
If a rpi zero 2 w runs torbox-mini-20260322-v055.img and you connect an usb ethernet adapter to the rpi zero 2 w, can you configure torbox mini such that you can connect the rpi zero 2 w to a computer by lan cable and torbox mini will work? In that case must the computer that rpi zero 2 w is connected to still support RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget? Thank you.
Does the raspberry pi or any other computer that torbox and torbox mini runs on reveal any data to the internet? The question is is the computer which runs torbox or torbox mini hidden from the internet?
Thanks.
I love this project. Please keep it going.
