tor-router v4.0.13 releases: A SOCKS, HTTP and DNS proxy for distributing traffic across multiple instances of Tor
Tor Router
Tor Router is a SOCKS5, DNS and HTTP proxy server for distributing traffic across multiple instances of Tor. At startup, Tor Router will run an arbitrary number of instances Tor and each request will be sent to a different instance in a round-robin fashion. This can be used to increase anonymity because each request will be sent on a different circuit and will most likely use a different exit-node, and also to increase performance since outbound traffic is now split across several instances of Tor.
Changelog v4.0.13
-
Added a mechanism to handle dynamically allocating numerous ports.
- Updates granax package reference.
