tor-proxy

🧅 tor-proxy

HTTP/1.x reverse proxy to consume onion endpoints without installing a tor client

TL;DR

Everything that comes to proxy.tdex.network/<onion_public_key> is redirected to <onion_public_key>.onion

📩 Install

1. Download the latest release for MacOS or Linux

2. Move it into a folder in your PATH (eg. /usr/local/bin) and rename as torproxy

3. Give executable permissions. (eg. chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/torproxy)

ℹ️ Usage

start command

By default you should have a Tor client running on the canonical 9050 port. You can change that with --socks5-hostname and --socks5-port or use the embedded tor client with --use-tor

• Run cleartext on default port :7070

$ torproxy start --insecure --registry '[{"endpoint": "http://somewherefaraway.onion:80"}]' 

• Run with SSL

$ torproxy start --domain mywebsite.com --registry '[{"endpoint": "http://somewherefaraway.onion:80"}]' 

• Load registry from a remote URL

$ torproxy start --domain mywebsite.com --registry https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tdex-network/tdex-registry/master/registry.json

With a URL, the proxy will refetch the registry every 12 hours in order to auto-update the set of endpoints to redirects.

• Load registry from local path to file

$ torproxy start --domain mywebsite.com --registry ./registry.json

• Use embedded tor client

$ torproxy start --domain mywebsite.com --registry ./registry.json --use-tor
