tor

The tor package contains utility functions that allow for interacting with the Tor daemon. So far, supported functions include:

  • Routing all traffic over Tor's exposed SOCKS5 proxy.
  • Routing DNS queries over Tor (A, AAAA, SRV).
  • Limited Tor Control functionality (synchronous messages only). So far, this includes:
    • Support for SAFECOOKIE authentication only as a sane default.
    • Creating v2 onion services.

In the future, the Tor Control functionality will be extended to support v3 onion services, asynchronous messages, etc.
