Apps and users connect to the Anyone Network by running the Anon Client.
Most of the Connect section guides you through running the client on your computer, but you can also run it directly from your Anyone Router hardware! Here’s how:
Ensure your hardware is updated to the latest version from the Updates page.
The Routing feature allows operators to configure their device to route all hotspot traffic through the Anyone Network. This ensures that clients connecting to the hotspot have their traffic securely routed, enhancing privacy and security.
This feature is implemented using iptables rules to redirect traffic.
DNS traffic (port 53) is redirected to DNSPort 5353 to ensure proper name resolution.
All other traffic is redirected to TransPort 9055, except for DHCP requests.
Example commands used for routing:
These rules ensure that all client traffic is automatically routed through the designated network.
Run the wizard once to activate it, see Hardware Setup Guide.
To toggle the feature, simply turn the hotspot OFF or ON in Network Settings.
To enable a proxy server on the LAN interface for Ethernet or WiFi, toggle the sliders to enable or disable the proxy on the desired network interface. The interface must be connected for the proxy server to be available for clients to connect.
The Relay will set up a proxy server on port 9050 and apply the necessary policies to restrict connections to clients within the same network.
To learn how to Connect to the Proxy, see the "Connecting to the Network" page for a detailed guide on some common applications.
