Make a cheap TOR anonymizer — BYTESEC Labs Inc

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/12/02

I had a few friends ask if they could buy a cheap travel router that protects their internet activity as they travel around the globe. So my criteria:

  1. Cheap (< USD 20)
  2. Portable (pocket size)

C13/C14 wiring diagram live/neutral/earth

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/12/02

Edit 20220215/20200713: The original wiring description in this article was wrong, thanks Jules Vape and John Cooper for pointing this out in the comments.

This is the correct wiring according to IEC 60320 – Wikipedia: C13/C14_coupler: File:IEC60320 C13.jpg – Wikipedia (rotated for clarity) and Source: File:IEC60320 C14.jpg – Wikimedia Commons.

  • Facing the C13 female side that has holes:
    Position Lead
    Left N Neutral
    Middle ⏚/PE Protective Earth/Ground
    Right L Live
  • Facing the C14 male side that has pins:
    Position Lead
    Left L Live
    Middle ⏚/PE Protective Earth/Ground
    Right N Neutral

The same information from [WayBack] IEC 60320 (IEC 320) Reference Chart – IEC 60320 Connectors & Plugs | StayOnline:

IEC-60320 Plugs and Connectors
Rating
Configuration
Female/Male		 International North America Wires Poles
diagram
C13/C14		 250 Volts
10 Amps		 125/250 Volts
15 Amps		 3 Wires 2 Poles

Wiring colours

If you wire it, the colours depend on where you live. I live in the Netherlands so this shortened table does apply:

IEC (most of Europe) AC power circuit wiring color codes.

Function Label Color, IEC Color, old IEC
Protective earth ⏚/PE Color wire green yellow.svg green/yellow Color wire green yellow.svg green/yellow
Neutral N Color wire light blue.svg blue Color wire light blue.svg blue
Line, single phase L Color wire brown.svg brown Color wire brown.svg brown or Color wire black.svg black

0.5W 12V 56-Lumen 7×3528 SMD LED Car White Light Bulb (Pair) – Free Shipping – DealExtreme

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/12/02

Since they work nice as car lamps, they are quite robust for weather conditions, so they work well as garden lamps too. So we have 69 of them in our deck.
