Hey everyone.
So I want to have my laptop connecting via wireless to the internet (I have a wireless router) and give internet access to another computer through a RJ45 cable connecting the two. The other machine only has ethernet, so this is the only way. Also, I could (I think) set this in a way that all my laptop traffic is routed through Tor and it should make the other machine Torified too... right?

Any help greatly appreciated, since I don't even know if this is possible :S

You can share the internet with a crossover cable. https://askubuntu.com/questions/359856/share-wireless-internet-connection-through-ethernet I am not sure about tor though.

Thanks for the link!
It was very helpul.

I really want to use Tor (otherwise I could just connect the other machine directly to a ehternet port on the router). I was hoping maybe if I used TAILS it would make the traffic go through the same firewall rules... but I never heard of it before.
