|

## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### Quickstart
|
||||
There are two ways to launch castor proxy:
|
||||
|
||||
This command will start one Tor instance and HAProxy:
|
||||
- you can either use the castor script: [Castor script](#castor-script)
|
||||
|
||||
- or use dirrectly docker commands: [Docker compose](#docker)
|
||||
|
||||
### Castor script
|
||||
|
||||
The script [`castor.sh`](castor.sh) can be used to start the castor proxy.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quickstart
|
||||
|
||||
Start a SOCKS5 proxy on port 8080:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bash castor.sh start
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Stop the proxy:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bash castor.sh stop
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
Usage: castor.sh [OPTIONS] COMMAND
|
||||
|
||||
COMMANDS
|
||||
start
|
||||
starts castor
|
||||
stop
|
||||
stop castor
|
||||
|
||||
OPTIONS
|
||||
-h
|
||||
Display usage statement
|
||||
-p=int
|
||||
Port to run the proxy (default=8080)
|
||||
-m=socks|http
|
||||
Proxy mode, either SOCKS5 or HTTP CONNECT proxy (default=socks)
|
||||
-t=int
|
||||
Number of Tor instances to run (default=5)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Simplify script usage
|
||||
|
||||
##### Set an alias
|
||||
|
||||
To simplify the use of this script and simply call it with `castor`, you can set an alias such as (assuming you are in castor directory):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
alias castor='bash $(pwd)/castor.sh'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This alias should be written in the `~/.bashrc` file to make it permanent:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
echo "alias castor='bash $(pwd)/castor.sh'" >> ~/.bashrc
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### Add autocompletion
|
||||
|
||||
Once you setted an alias for the castor script, you can also add autocompletion for castor commands:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
complete -W "start stop" castor
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Once again to make the autocompletion permanent, you should add it in the `~/.bashrc` file:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
echo "complete -W 'start stop' castor" >> ~/.bashrc
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### Simplified script usage
|
||||
|
||||
After setting an alias and autocompletion, the script can be used from anywhere simply as following:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
castor [OPTIONS] COMMAND
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For instance to start the proxy on port 1234 with 15 Tor instances:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
castor -p 1234 -t 15 start
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Docker
|
||||
|
||||
The [castor script](castor.sh) simply calls docker-compose commands, so you can use docker-compose directly.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quickstart
|
||||
|
||||
This command will start 5 Tor instance and HAProxy:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker-compose up
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
By default the proxy will be a SOCKS5 proxy running on port **8080**.
|
||||
By default the proxy will be a SOCKS5 proxy running on port **8080** (as specified in [`.env`](.env) file).
|
||||
|
||||
### Start multiple Tor instances
|
||||
#### Start multiple Tor instances
|
||||
|
||||
Use the docker-compose scale option to set the number of Tor instance to start
|
||||
|
||||
For instance to start 5 Tor instances:
|
||||
For instance to start 10 Tor instances:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker-compose up --scale tor=5
|
||||
docker-compose up --scale tor=10
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
By default, 5 tor instances are started. This also can be tunned in [`docker-compose.yml`](docker-compose.yml) file by editing the `scale` parameter of tor service.
|
||||
|
||||
### Use HTTP CONNECT proxy
|
||||
#### Use HTTP CONNECT proxy
|
||||
|
||||
Tor also provides an HTTP CONNECT proxy; you can use it by setting the environment variable `PROXY_MODE` to "http". This can be done by editing the [`.env`](.env) file or dirrectly in the shell such as:

#### Run proxy on a different port
