According to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Edward_Snowden\">Edward Snowden<\/a>, the NSA uses a system to track the movements of mobile devices in a city by monitoring MAC addresses. Therefore, vendors began randomising the MAC addresses on their devices. Since TorBox v0.5.1, we have randomised the MAC addresses of the interfaces wlan0, wlan1, eth0, and eth1 by default. However, to overcome <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Captive_portal\">captive portals<\/a>, you can also use the MAC address of another device that has successfully passed through a captive Portal. See&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.torbox.ch\/?page_id=2666\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>&nbsp;for more information on how to pass through a captive portal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Menu entry 10: Hide \/ Unhide TorBox&#8217;s WLAN<\/strong>: If you choose &#8220;hide&#8221;, TorBox sends an empty SSID in beacons and ignores probe request frames that do not specify a full SSID. In other words, to connect with your wireless network, the full name of that network must be known. &#8220;Unhide&#8221; will reverse this behaviour.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Menu entry 11: Disable \/ Enable TorBox&#8217;s WLAN<\/strong>: If at least one client device is connected to the TorBox with a cable, through a VPN connection or an <code>usb0<\/code> interface, this menu entry gives the possibility to disable the TorBox WLAN. It can be set to a temporary disabling that lasts only until the next TorBox restart, or to a permanent disabling. <strong>Disabling TorBox&#8217;s WLAN permanently carries the risk of locking you out.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Menu entry 12: Enable \/ Disable HTTP plain text traffic block<\/strong>: This option blocks (by default) all HTTP plain text traffic through Tor by blocking port 80. It should avoid unencrypted data traffic at Tor exit nodes, which could break your anonymity (see&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.torproject.org\/bad-exit-relays-may-june-2020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>). However, it is only a very superficial block, which could help if, for example, a browser requests an unencrypted Webpage (http:\/\/). Currently, it&nbsp;<strong>does not <\/strong>block plain-text traffic&nbsp;(e.g., Telnet). Also, HTTP plain-text traffic from clients using TorBox&#8217;s SOCKS 5, in a VPN over Tor or a Tor over Tor scenario,&nbsp;<strong>cannot be blocked<\/strong>. Another downside is that not only unencrypted web traffic but also other traffic on port 80 is blocked, so some applications may no longer work correctly. However, .onion addresses using &#8220;http:\/\/&#8221; will still work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Menu entry 13: Start\/Stop excluding slow tor relays<\/strong>: This menu entry generates a list of Tor relays that are slower than the specified speed threshold (KB\/s). You can set the threshold, but if you&#8217;re unsure, we default to 4000 KB\/s, which currently blocks fewer than half of the relays. Excluding slow tor relays may give you a higher and more stable average speed and, therefore, a better user experience. This measure is thus useful if you notice slow or unstable Internet performance. However, this comes with a price &#8211;&gt; a higher risk of deanonymization due to a smaller set of relays. To illustrate possible concerns, take the example of a hypothetical adversary, which adds a lot of excellent performing relays to the tor network to anonymize tor users. In this case, it is more likely that you are using the adversary&#8217;s relays, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.torbox.ch\/?p=3634\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.torbox.ch\/?p=3634\">could deanonymize users via a correlation attack<\/a>. For that reason: Do not activate this menu entry if your anonymity has the highest priority.<br><br><strong>Important<\/strong>: If activated, please don&#8217;t forget to update the list of excluded slow tor from time to time, using entry 12 in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.torbox.ch\/?page_id=1410\">update and maintenance sub-menu<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Menu entry 14: Start\/Stop bandwidth limitation<\/strong>: With this setting, you can configure a maximum bandwidth limit.

The following unit specifications are supported: N bytes|KB|MB|GB. The minimum BandwidthRate setting is 75 kilobytes per second.<br><br><strong>Important<\/strong>: The default bandwidth communicating with the Tor network is set to 1 GB (GByte per second).

If TorBox does not appear to be installed in the cloud, the installer will ask you to verify whether the installation is on a cloud or on a physical (&#8220;real&#8221;) box, meaning it is running on actual hardware. The difference is that with the first option, TorBox assumes the Internet is connected to a fixed interface named <code>eth0<\/code>, which is the only interface that can be chosen as an Internet Interface. With the latter, you can use all interfaces and connect the client via OpenVPN. <br><br>The installation is straightforward; all default options are pre-selected, and you usually only need to press <code>Enter<\/code>.<br><br>During the setup, you will be asked for the <strong>IP address<\/strong> on which the OpenVPN server should listen:<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>On a cloud installation:<\/strong> The installer detects the local IP address automatically. If the server is behind NAT, you will also be asked for the public IP address or hostname that clients can use to reach the server from the Internet. Make sure this address is accessible from outside \u2014 either directly or via your provider&#8217;s NAT\/port forwarding. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>On a real box:<\/strong> Use the IP address through which your client reaches the TorBox: 192.168.42.1 for WiFi clients or 192.168.43.1 for cable clients. However, the OpenVPN server listens on all network interfaces, so either address should work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The installer also supports both\u00a0<strong>IPv4 and IPv6<\/strong>. By default, IPv4 is recommended. IPv6 support is available as a beta option. Clients can be configured for IPv4 only, IPv6 only, or dual-stack (IPv4 + IPv6). When IPv6 is not enabled for clients, it is automatically blocked to prevent IPv6 leaks. <br><br>Additionally, you can choose whether a single .ovpn profile may be used on\u00a0<strong>multiple devices simultaneously<\/strong>. By default, each client needs its own separate .ovpn file. Enabling multi-device support disables persistent IP addresses for clients. <br><br>Regarding the port, <strong>we highly recommend using the standard port 1194<\/strong> for OpenVPN. To handle VPN connections, TorBox must accept traffic on this specific port and must not route it through the Tor network. It means that using another port, for example, 443, to bypass a firewall block will prevent data packets sent to that port from being routed through the Tor network, which would be a substantial security risk. For example, UDP on port 443 is most commonly associated with the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/QUIC\">QUIC protocol<\/a>, developed by Google and now used by several major web services and applications to provide faster, more efficient encrypted web connections . <strong>Before using a port other than 1194, you must check if UDP traffic to this port is not being used by another application, which could then compromise your security.<\/strong><br><br>For\u00a0<strong>encryption settings<\/strong>, secure defaults are pre-selected (AES-128-GCM, ECDSA with prime256v1, tls-crypt-v2, TLS 1.2 minimum). Advanced users can customise the data channel cipher (AES-128\/192\/256-GCM, AES-128\/192\/256-CBC, or ChaCha20-Poly1305), the certificate type (ECDSA or RSA), the control channel cipher, the minimum TLS version (1.2 or 1.3), TLS 1.3 cipher suites, TLS key exchange groups, the HMAC digest algorithm, and the control channel protection mechanism (tls-crypt-v2, tls-crypt, or tls-auth). <br><br>If the OpenVPN server is installed, the menu entry will allow you to manage the OpenVPN server, displaying a sub-menu (see below):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Add a new client:<\/strong>\u00a0Every client needs an <code>ovpn<\/code> file generated on the TorBox.
