torpool

Containerized pool of multiple Tor instances with load balancing and HTTP proxy.

Key features

• Multiple Tor instances with a single endpoint for the end user
• Easy configured (IP rotation, country selection of the exit node, etc)
• Lightweight alpine based Docker image
• HTTP proxy with Privoxy
• HTTP/Socks load balancing with HAProxy
• Does not using root user inside Docker

Usage

Start 5 Tor instances:

docker run -d -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 u1234x1234/torpool:1.0.3 --Tors=5

HTTP proxy is accessible at port 9300:

curl --proxy localhost:9300 http://ipinfo.io/ip

Socks is accessible at port 9200:

curl --socks5 localhost:9200 http://ipinfo.io/ip

To make Tor instances rotate:

docker run -d -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 u1234x1234/torpool:1.0.3 --MaxCircuitDirtiness 30 --NewCircuitPeriod 30

Use only US exit nodes:

docker run -d -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 u1234x1234/torpool:1.0.3 --ExitNodes {us}

List of available Tor options

To view HAProxy stats page:

docker run -d -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 -p 9500:9500 u1234x1234/torpool:1.0.3

Then open in browser http://localhost:9500/haproxy_stats and enter HAProxy username and password. The default username is haproxy, password is password, but it can be changed using using the volume mounting:

echo "pss" > pass_file
docker run -d -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 -p 9500:9500 -v "$PWD/pass_file":/run/secrets/haproxy_password u1234x1234/torpool:1.0.3

Expected password location: /run/secrets/haproxy_password, username: /run/secrets/haproxy_username.

Docker-compose example:

version: '3'
services:
  torpool:
    image: u1234x1234/torpool:1.0.3
    command: ['--Tors', '2', '--NewCircuitPeriod', '30', '--MaxCircuitDirtiness', '30']
    container_name: torpool
    ports:
      - "9200:9200"
      - "9300:9300"
      - "9500:9500"
