hi,
im in the process of learning the tor onion router and generally how nat/ip/port-forwards work. i've set myself the task of configuring a secure as possible connection between two points - when tor is installed only on one end! - and i have some questions:
i've set up tor with polipo on computer A, and im listening on 127.0.0.1:8118. this connection is working. i've set up my router for port-forwards on ports 5566 and 5565 (on my external ip) unto my internal ip on same ports. now, if i connect directly to my external ip (A) from computer B (different network), on either of my forwarded ports, all is well - connection is alive. HOWEVER, how do i find an ip that is a tor-ip and that will direct back to comp A's external ip (on either of the forwarded ports), to which I can connect from comp B ?
i figure this way, the connection is truly anonymous - boths sides have tor'ed ip's, even if only one side is actually running tor?
i'm not sure if this makes sense, but i'd love some input! is there a way, for example, to configure tor so that there'll be a static ip out there which will redirect to my comp A ex ip?
(secondly, is it possible to encrypt this connection also?)
thanks a lot,
j
