Hi Roger The WRT54GL has about 16MB RAM. I was using an OpenWRT package of TOR version, 0.1.0.17. There is no gcc etc. on the box, and I doubt whether the thing could be compiled on it: will TOR run on such as puny system?
Thanks for the tips about bandwidth changes. If I ever get this thing working, I could donate more bandwidth when I ought be sleeping... BTW nmap can scan higher port nos if you set with a port range (-p1-65535 ) but I take your point about netstat (on the box itself).
