Suggest a new name for the Torouter, win an Excito B3

by Runa | November 21, 2011

The Torouter is the codename for a hardware project that aims to provide users with a device that can easily be configured to run as a Tor bridge or relay. We are currently working on two devices; the Excito B3 and the DreamPlug.

Having two devices that are both called "the Torouter" can be a bit confusing, so we would like your help in renaming the Excito B3 Torouter!

The best suggestion will not only be the new name for the Excito B3 Torouter, but the winner will also receive an Excito B3, a Tor t-shirt and stickers. Five runners-up will receive Tor t-shirts and stickers.

To suggest new names for the Excito B3 Torouter, send an email to tor-assistants AT torproject.org with "Torouter naming contest" in the subject. The deadline is December 5, 2011.

UPDATE: We have received a lot of good naming suggestions for the Excito B3 Torouter, thank you to everyone who emailed us! We have decided that the new name for the Excito B3 Torouter is onionbox. An email has gone out to the lucky winner of a B3, a t-shirt and some stickers, as well as five-runners up who will all get t-shirts and stickers.

The name "Chicago" is derived from a French rendering of the Native American word shikaakwa, translated as "wild onion" or "wild garlic," from the Miami-Illinois language.

Chicago or (more radical) shikaakwa.

Implementing UDP support might be more important than trying to name this. It won't be useful without proper UDP support.

It's so obvious, someone must already have suggested:

ConnecTor

Excito B3 -> E-ConnecTor (or EB3-ConnecTor)
Dreamplug -> D-ConnecTor

Cheers,

I suggest SynProSo. This is a bastardised form of syn-Propanethial-S-oxide; otherwise, the stuff starts the chain of reactions which make you cry when cutting onions.
