Proxy Client for Onion

Tunnels your network requests through a Tor's SOCKS5 proxy server and hides your IP address

Proxy Client for Onion is a powerful Chrome extension designed to enhance your online privacy by routing all your browser's network requests through the Tor network. By running the official Tor executable in the background, it sets up a local SOCKS5 proxy server to tunnel your traffic and effectively hide your real IP address.

Key features include dynamic proxy configuration activation, WebRTC IP leak prevention, and the ability to request a new Tor identity directly from the extension. This ensures your browsing remains anonymous without conflicting with other Tor instances like Tor Browser. Note that the extension requires installing a NodeJS native client to facilitate communication with the Tor executable, supported on Mac OS, Windows, and Linux (with manual Tor setup). With Proxy Client for Onion, enjoy enhanced privacy with minimal setup effort.

Funciona perfecto te conectas a la red tor sin usar el browser oficial. Pierdes un poco de ser anónimo pero funciona perfecto. Mi recomendación es bajarse los geoip/geoip6 de la web oficial de tor (version source) y sustituir los que tienes disponibles del autor.
