  • localhost socks5 on 9050: for tor
  • localhost http on 8080: for request twiddling proxies

It also has a check box to avoid sending google queries to the proxies.

It is not meant in anyway to be fully featured. It is what it is. Quick and dirty.

Great , I've now also added this to the New *Dissenter* Web-browser to run alongside Advanced TOR (Advor) ,not just for access to the dark web (& escaping ICANN's monopoly on IP Domain Names) but to escape from censorship & Orwellian dictatorship over our data (on The Public / Normy Web as well) get Dissenter today (& comment anywhere anytime censorship free - based on the open sourced Chomeuim infrastructure (so like your current chrome flavored browser ,Like BRAVE but far more Superior) https://dissenter.com/download#download
