round-robin tor proxy

               Docker Container
               -------------------------------------
               (Optional)           <-> Tor Proxy 1
Client <---->   Privoxy <-> HAproxy <-> Tor Proxy 2
                                    <-> Tor Proxy n

Parents

• rdsubhas/docker-tor-privoxy-alpine
• Negashev/docker-haproxy-tor
  • marcelmaatkamp/docker-alpine-tor
  • mattes/rotating-proxy

Why: Lots of IP addresses. One single endpoint for your client. Load-balancing by HAproxy.

Optionaly adds support for Privoxy using -e privoxy=1, useful for http (default 8118, changable via -e privoxy_port=<port>) proxy forward and ad removal.

Simple usage

See Makefile for full list of available shortcuts.

# build docker container
docker build -t zeta0/alpine-tor:latest .

# ... or pull docker container
docker pull zeta0/alpine-tor:latest

# start docker container
docker run -d -p 5566:5566 -p 2090:2090 -e tors=25 zeta0/alpine-tor

# start docker with privoxy enabled and exposed
docker run -d -p 8118:8118 -p 2090:2090 -e tors=25 -e privoxy=1 zeta0/alpine-tor

# test with ...
curl --socks5 localhost:5566 http://httpbin.org/ip

# or if privoxy enabled ...
curl --proxy localhost:8118 http://httpbin.org/ip

# or to run chromium with your new found proxy
chromium --proxy-server="http://localhost:8118" \
    --host-resolver-rules="MAP * 0.0.0.0 , EXCLUDE localhost"

# monitor
# auth login:admin
# auth pass:admin
http://localhost:2090 or http://admin:admin@localhost:2090

# start docket container with new auth
docker run -d -p 5566:5566 -p 2090:2090 -e haproxy_login=MySecureLogin \
    -e haproxy_pass=MySecurePassword zeta0/alpine-tor
