@bnrstnr Why it is not possible to do for individual in home network ?
What businesses (legit businesses) use this?
Sounds like you need to buy a router that supports sending all traffic through a TOR node. I'm pretty sure there are some out there, just no idea who, never wanted a thing personally.

@dashrender is traffic can be routed through Tor from any routers?

Yes - Google is your friend here

@dashrender onion pi is good I think

Whether static IP from ISP is good for Anonymous network?

Not good or bad. Your ISP always knows where you are no matter what.
-
@lakshmana Static IP from your ISP should not be a factor at all... If anybody is able to detect your IP address, then TOR/VPN has completely failed.

@scottalanmiller I am using Tor already.But the IP may released in some cases from my machine.That should be done.Any modem will be powerful for Wireless as well as Wired ?
This does not make sense to me. What do you mean "the IP may released in some cases from my machine"?

@eddiejennings How to believe in VPN or Tor too is my doubt here
-
Here is a very basic diagram of a VPN connection

"You" in this diagram could be a single device such as a PC or mobile device. "You" could also be done at the network level. So instead of connecting from a specific device, your router always maintains a constant vpn connection. That way all the devices on your internal network don't need any configuration.

@irj Thanks for giving simple and clear idea by diagram

It is important to note that your ISP can tell you are using VPN, but they won't be able to inspect your traffic.
-
@Lakshmana I think a Network + class would serve you well. VPN is pretty basic when it comes to network topology and I think it would be helpful to have a good base understanding of networking. It's like math, if you don't quite understand addition or subtraction you certainly will not understand algebra or calculus. Learn the fundamentals (it wont take long) then start digging into more advanced content.
Otherwise you are just making it very hard on yourself to really master IT.

I'm very curious as to what your use case is for this. You've made a couple of posts lately that make it sound like you have lots of nefarious activity you are trying to hide (including your "example" of trying to download a movie illegally via telegram).
-
@Lakshmana I actually found what appears to be a decent free course from an unlikely source (Microsoft lol).

MVA courses are usually top notch for being free. It looks like they have alot of training and even offer free study guides and supplemental material.

There is nothing nefarious about VPN, but I agree that the telegram post was a little phishy. Although pirating is just the culture in Asia. They don't look at it like we do in the west. I think it is pretty difficult to find an individual or even a company in Asia is that is legal eagle when it comes to licensing.
I definitely don't agree with pirating at all. I am just sharing the culture over there.

@irj no, there is nothing inherently nefarious about VPN, but the way OP asked the question makes it sound like he wants/needs to hide all his activity, which is a huge red flag. Whether he wants to pirate content, learn how to manufacture heroin, or just look at naked people, there is obviously some unspoken impetus for this. I make no judgment on his potential activity, but this is clearly not an exercise in learning about networks or security, since he seems so very concerned about having unencrypted traffic.

To me he sounds like there is no real understanding of networking or even what is trying to be accomplished.

That too.

The threat of having ISPs be able to sell personally identifiable information is enough for some people I know to want VPN... If there is nothing in it for me other than more spam, why would I want them to be able to see ANYTHING that I do? Something nefarious to hide definitely isn't a prerequisite.
