Hi everyone,
DreamPlug is a new plug computer from GlobalScale Technologies: http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/c-5-dreamplugs.aspx. The spec looks good, it runs Ubuntu by default and it doesn't cost too much. I thought that the DreamPlug was going to be very user friendly and a potential candidate for the Torouter project. (Maybe) I was wrong.
When the SheevaPlug came out a couple of years ago, it shipped with a web interface that enabled users to change various network options. I thought the DreamPlug would ship with some kind of interface as well (and my plan was to just plug in a Tor page). This is not the case; it ships with lighthttpd by default and displays a static and very simple placeholder page on 192.168.1.1.
If we want to use the DreamPlug for the Torouter, we will have to write a web interface for easy configuration of Tor. The interface should probably also provide options to better secure the DreamPlug. Downloading and installing Tor isn't a problem, but the configuration side of things can be tricky for users who aren't used to the command line.
Thoughts? Comments?
Thanks,
