I want to be able to connect from my computer to my pi to automatically connect to tor. This would entail that when I can technically use Tor from any browser on my computer. I have tried methods using OpenWrt and using Raspbian, but they simply don't work.

Any ideas?

Update with info from comment:
I want my pi to be a bridge from my computer to my router. When I configure that (Using this article:(gremaudpi.emf-informatique.ch/create-a-bridged-access-point-with-raspberry-pi-and-openwrt/) I cannot log back onto the pi after i change the lan ip address

What you need is to configure a Tor proxy that will act like an internet router but connect to the Tor network instead. You can use the tor.service with the big advantage that it does not need a specific underlaying network configuration. If you have a network interface that routes traffic to the internet you can use it for the tor proxy. You can find an example at How to make Raspberry Pi a Tor router with all kind of network setup using systemd-networkd.

You have a Raspberry Pi 4B with a port for wired connections so for the underlaying network configuration you can use a simple ethernet cable to connect to your internet router. You don't need an USB to wired ethernet dongle (you say "usb to ethernet cable"). This is the best solution because it has an simpler setup and is less error prone. You can follow this setup: access point (wlan0) with wired uplink (eth0).

If you cannot connect by wire to your internet router then you can use an access point (ap0) with wifi uplink (wlan0). This can be configured with the on-board WiFi device only. You also do not need an additional USB to WiFi dongle.
