TOR: is it possible to use tor router only for blocked resources?
« on: December 20, 2018, 02:29:25 pm »
Hello,

i'm trying to configure TOR to bypass blocks, that made our government (we are not allowed to use linkedin, slack and telegram, for example).

nowadays, i use additional VPS with openvpn + alias setting to route several services. 
but, now i learned about TOR, and i think it can help me.

i've downloaded package, turned it on, and created setup on local machine - added TOR as Socks Proxy - and i was able to access it.
With that - i found, that all traffic goes thru TOR, which slows down main connections.


Next i found setting "Fascist Mode", but i can't understand how it should work?

if i turn it on - nothing changes.


could you please point me where is my mistake?

This is for some restricted environments where it cannot access other ports than 80 + 443 and no inbound connection is possible.

Hi,

I have the same problem, but with some sites that block Tor like Google (Recaptcha madness!).

Thats my solution:

I use the OPNsense Tor Plug-in as SOCKS Proxy, too.
Its really fast, faster than the Tor Browser itself.

I use it only with my Mozilla Firefox Browser (short: FF).

In FF I use this Plug-In: "FoxyProxy"
In FoxyProxy you can define the OPNSense TOR Socks Proxy and define Bypass Domains/URLs (called "Black" Patterns).
Works really good!
Here some screenshots of the FoxyProxy Plug-in configuration:

ok... now i did it with alias table and NAT rules.

in that case users don't need to install additional software... and it is not hard to add new domain to the list.


ps. foxyproxy is nice, thanks!
