piwi3910/tor-proxy repository overview

⁠Docker-tor

⁠Code

https://github.com/piwi3910/docker-tor⁠

⁠Features

• build from alpine:latest to have the smallest container and smallest attack surface
• Use different ports from standard to not clash with ports on Synology
• Tested on synology :-) but will work elsewhere also
• run with a special "tor_runner" user and not the default tor package user or root
• open up the control port if you want and secure it
• set the control port password on runtime
• weekly rebuild of dev to include the latest alpine updates
• All code provide in Github, so you can build it yourself if you don't trust me (You shouldn't trust anyone with your own privacy!)

⁠Docker tags available

All builds are multi-arch for: AMD64, ARM 32bit and ARM 64bit

• dev: latest release based on master github code -> use to get the latest features, but could be unstable
• v1.0.0: tags with versions are stable releases
• latest: This tag follows the latest stable version release NOT dev

⁠Usage

⁠Socks only - no controle port

docker run -d --restart=always --name tor-proxy -p 9150:9150 piwi3910/tor-proxy:latest

⁠Socks + control port - default password

docker run -d --restart=always --name tor-proxy -p 9150:9150 -p 9051:9051 piwi3910/tor-proxy:latest

Default control port password: my_password

⁠Socks + control port - your password

docker run -d --restart=always --name tor-proxy -p 9150:9150 -p 9051:9051 -e control_password=somepassword piwi3910/tor-proxy:latest

⁠Web browser config

In your browser go to your proxy config

find socks proxy and fill in the ip of your synology or docker host with port 9150

If you run this locally on your pc (localhost) or else the ip of your synology

⁠Default TOR settings

• A docker Healthcheck will start running after 60 sec and connect to facebook over tor to verify tor is up and running, It will restart the container if the tor connection goes down, Make sure to start your container with --restart-always to make sure tor auto-heals
• tor will try to create an new circuit every 15 sec

happy private browsing!
