Niiiice.
What happens to software that listens on an external port (0.0.0.0:12345)? Does a hidden service automatically get created for it? Or is this strictly a client tool?
Other than the example uses provided in the article, does anyone have any interesting ideas for how this could be used? The
RUST_LOG=debugone looks like it’ll be particularly useful as an easy way to see what network requests a given binary might be making.Would be cool if this could work on Android and essentially be able to pick and choose which apps to run over Tor.
You mean like orbot?
Sort of. Orbot is fine but for it to work it does have to modify the system’s networking. It installs itself as a VPN so if I try to use it it’ll kick me off the VPN my Android was already using. So yes Orbot can sort of let me pick apps to run over Tor but to do so it forces me off-VPN for all my other apps. Maybe that’s an Android limitation or an Orbot quirk, not really sure.
The nice thing about this new Oniux is that it works more like a container for applications rather than have to modify the system’s network.
so, like torify up until now? tried it on a couple of apps as a replacement, works fine. the rust build chain though, madonn’…
