Installing Extras on the New Fullnode OS

Installing Iceweasel Browser on Raspbian Jessie

Iceweasel is the Firefox Browser for the Arm processor. To install it on the latest version of Jessie 2016-02-09 you will need to add extra flags like so:

sudo apt-get update --fix-missing
sudo apt-get install iceweasel --no-install-recommends

Installing Tor and VPN Services

Note that you will need to purchase a VPN to secure all your traffic in addition to Bitcoin. We recommend Mullvad. For the Iceweasel Browser you can install Zenmate VPN.
Install Tor (note this is not the browser, just the service that runs in the background)

sudo apt-get install tor -y
sudo apt-get install openvpn resolvconf -y
