Six months have passed since the initial release of TorBox v.0.5.0<\/a>. Version 0.5.1 will probably be released at the end of this year.<\/s> Nevertheless, it was time to fix some bugs in version v.0.5.0 (especially concerning using OBFS4 bridges<\/a>). If you re-install TorBox (using the image file<\/a> or one of the installation scripts<\/a>), in the case of Raspberry Pi OS, you will find the 64bit version with the Linux kernel 5.15.32<\/a> and Tor version 0.4.7.8<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also new in the update: The MAC addresses <\/a>of the network interfaces are now randomized. At the same time, a new way of overcoming captive portals is introduced, which is based on manipulating the MAC address of the Raspi network interface that is connected to the Internet (we have already reported on this in the blog here<\/a>; however, details about the implementation and use can be found here<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
TorBox provides two approaches to passing through a captive portal<\/a>: SPOOFING<\/strong> or TUNNELLING<\/strong>. The new and preferred method is SPOOFING<\/strong>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Here are the links to the new updated TorBox v.0.5.0 version (Update 001):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to update an old TorBox v.0.5.0 (02.01.2022) installation<\/strong>?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

You can perform the following tasks to update an older TorBox v.0.5.0 (02.01.2022) installation. This shouldn’t alter your custom-made configurations – however, I don’t promise anything (if needed, make a backup!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Please, make sure that TorBox has Internet connectivity.<\/li>
  2. First, update the TorBox menu in the Update and Maintenance sub-menu<\/a> (entry 5) to immediately benefit from the bug fixes.<\/li>
  3. Update the base system, the additional network drivers and the Tor version: Go to the <\/a>Update and Maintenance sub-menu<\/a> and use entries 1, 2 and 4.<\/li>
  4. Press ESC until you have left the Torbox menu and find yourself back at the command line. Here use the following commands:
    sudo apt-get -y install macchanger<\/code>
    cd; cd torbox; sudo cp etc\/rc.local \/etc <\/code> <\/li>
  5. Reboot TorBox.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n\n\n
    We need your feedback!!<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

    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:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
