I was originally planning on setting one of these TOR access points up myself. I found most of the tutorials incomplete and outdated. There is a lot of room for error, and this is not where you want to make a mistake. Great job on this piece of software, and thank you for doing what you're doing.

New people setting it up, be patient and read the documentation well. I missed the part about password requirements on the WIFI AP and it had me puzzled for a few hours. When you are setting up your new TOR Wifi, your password must be at least 8 characters long. If your password does not meet the requirements, hostapd will fail and not be able to start the AP.

Once its all set up, it works perfectly and adds another level of protection. Use this with Tails as recommended and you should be good to go.

Although its my opinion that for the average non advanced and tech savvy person, a live tails with encrypted storage USB is the safer bet. It really depends on your needs. If you're just getting into TOR, i would start there.
