aguslr/docker-tor

This Docker image sets up Tor to be used as a SOCKS proxy that can redirect traffic through the Tor network.

Tor is a free and open-source software for enabling anonymous communication by directing Internet traffic through a free, worldwide, volunteer overlay network to conceal a user's location and usage from anyone performing network surveillance or traffic analysis.

Installation

To use Tor for improved privacy, follow these steps:

Clone and start the container:

docker run -p 9050:9050 docker.io/aguslr/tor:latest

Change your Web browser's proxy settings to point to the appropriate proxy:
- All traffic through Tor: use SOCKSv5 proxy with 127.0.0.1:9050.

Using a SOCKSv5 proxy is preferred as it provides added security.

Build locally

Instead of pulling the image from a remote repository, you can build it locally:

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/aguslr/docker-tor.git

Change into the newly created directory and use docker-compose to build and launch the container:
```
cd docker-tor && docker-compose up --build -d
```
