tor-socks-proxy

The super easy way to setup a tor SOCKS5 proxy server without relay/exit feature.

How to use?

1. Setup the proxy server at the first time

   $ docker run -d --name tor_socks_proxy -p 127.0.0.1:9150:9150 peterdavehello/tor-socks-proxy:latest
   

   If you already setup the instance before*(not the first time)*, just start it:

   $ docker start tor_socks_proxy
   

2. Make sure it's running

   $ docker logs tor_socks_proxy
   .
   .

3. Configure your client to use it, target on 127.0.0.1 port 9150

   Take curl as an example, checkout what's your ip address via tor nextwork:

   $ curl --socks5-hostname 127.0.0.1:9150 ipinfo.io/ip
   $ curl --socks5-hostname 127.0.0.1:9150 icanhazip.com
   $ curl --socks5-hostname 127.0.0.1:9150 ipecho.net/plain
   

   Take ssh and nc as an example, connect to a host via tor:

   $ ssh -o ProxyCommand='nc -x 127.0.0.1:9150 %h %p' target.hostname.blah
   

4. After using it, you can turn it off

   $ docker stop tor_socks_proxy
