Re: [tor-talk] Tor in Russia, blocked from Nov 1st?

Using a obfs4 pluggable transport bridge from https://bridges.torproject.org/options should work. As Jim said its a “arms race between the Tor developers and censors” to keep governments from blocking all the bridges. > On Oct 25, 2017, at 9:49 PM, Moses

Re: [tor-talk] Does the Tor DNS transparent proxy code use clients nameservers?

I don't know what this thing is that you're referring to as a "torport" and what kind of behavior you expect from it. But maybe you could try what the tor documentation refers to as the DNSPort from https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en DNSPort [address:]port|auto [isolation flags]

Hi Folks, I'm testing a small single-program transproxy program that I wrote (not released yet). This program forwards DNS requests to the DNSPort of the Tor daemon. During my tests I noticed something that worries me.  With my program I can basically redirect network traffic from any program to

Hm. That's not really true. An onion service should work regardless of where it's hosted and that's the whole point (to provide location-anonymity). If you had to use a different onion address based on where it's hosted, then better stick to good ol' regular TCP/IP load-balancing. "Latency probl

As long as you keep the tor processing running on your web server, the response should be relatively quick. If you shutdown the tor process on your web server and then restart it, it might take a few minutes for machines on the tor network to find your server again. You can restart the http server,
