Hi folks,

this is my first post, I just have bought an used eBlocker Cube. My favorite radio station has activated Geoblocking so that I was forced to hide my IP-address. Usinsg the TOR function therefore works fine.

The only issue is the auto setting for time/date which doesn't work, when TOR is activated. Any idea what's the reason for? What do you guess how the radio get it's data, by ICMP or NTP from the router?

status log: -A FORWARD -s 192.168.212.167/32 -i eth0 -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable

Thank you in advance for your hints!

I suspect the time service used is not accepting Tor traffic at all. This is not uncommon - especially for IoT, where you can‘t install a Tor browser/client (unless you trick the IoT with eBlocker 😎).

Maybe just disable auto time update and live with a few secs off-set per year 🤔😉

THX!

Thank you for your advice, which I already did as workaround. Don't get me wrong, it's not a first world problem, but I would like to give a 100% solution to the people. Only if everything works, people will use such "blocker".

1) Is there mayby a way to redirect ICMP traffic?

2) or is it possible to use a proxy server instead of TOR?

Yes, you can use any VPN provider (even in parallel) supporting the OpenVPN protocol.

eBlocker is not a generic router to reroute ICMP. But you can redirect DNS requests to a different IP address using the eBlocker DNS firewall. So if ntp.internetradio.com is used for time setting you can redirect this domain to an IP of choice.

THX!
