The trick part of this is you have to find an SSH tunnel account. Tor is free but not reliable (a lot of freezing). You can use Tor network to test, but for long term reliablility, you need a private SSH account, cost around 3-5$ per month. Many testers reported that "sh3lls" is very good. It's an offshore SSH tunnel and very stable. This idea is sound complicated but actually it's very easy to setup. You need 1) SSH client called bitvise, or for testing without a payed SSH account you can use Tor. 2) Blackrock software. I will give a quick setup with Tor and Blackrock. After installed Tor, run Tor, a black DOS windows will open up. Then run Blackrock (blackrock.exe). When Blackrock opened you see 3 fields: top one is ip address of IHub server (already configured, you don't touch), the middle one, you type in under ip address:127.0.0.1 and port 9050 (this is Tor port). The third box is your computer ip address (already configured, you don't touch). Click on "start Proxy" button. You're done with the proxy. Now open up your IHUB setting on your Sonicview (menu-ipconfig) and change the following setting. 1)Use DNS=NO, 2) ServerIP=your laptop IP address (same ip as box 3 in Blackrock windows). Click APPLY then OK. (Make sure you click apply). You're done. To verify that it works, look at Tor windows you will see activities (you don't need to understand the activities) or you can shut down Tor and your STB should stop working. If not working right away just reboot your STB. Pretty simple and straight forward. You can use wireless for this too.
