⁠ Tor Proxy & Hosting Suite (maintained by LOOHIVE)

⚠️ UNOFFICIAL IMAGE This is an unofficial Tor client image maintained by LOOHIVE⁠. It is built directly from official Tor Project repositories⁠. This project is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by The Tor Project.

⁠🚀 Overview

The Tor Proxy & Hosting Suite (maintained by LOOHIVE) is a production-hardened collection of specialized Tor tools. It is designed to solve complex anonymity and hosting challenges with three distinct modes:

• Standard Proxy: High-performance, slim SOCKS5 client.
• Rotating Identity: Multi-instance load balancer for automated IP rotation and web scraping.
• Onion Sidecar: Production-grade hosting gateway that bypasses NAT/Firewalls to expose internal services as .onion sites.

Designed for developers and DevOps teams, this suite provides reliable, zero-maintenance infrastructure for both individual privacy and global decentralized hosting.

⁠Key Features:

• 🛡️ Security Hardened: Runs as a non-root user (debian-tor).
• 🔄 IP Rotation: Optional rotating tag for high-performance scraping and identity rotation.
• 🧅 Onion Hosting: Optional onion tag to instantly "sidecar" any web app into a .onion service.
• 🔄 Fully Automated: Rebuilt weekly to ensure the latest Tor binary and OS security patches.
• 🩺 Integrated Healthchecks: Periodic internal checks verify proxy activity (latest/rotating tags).

⁠🎯 Use Cases

⁠🛡️ Standard Client (latest)

• Anonymous Browsing: Route your local browser traffic through a secure SOCKS5 proxy.
• Privacy Testing: Verify how your applications behave when accessed from different global locations.
• Lightweight Integration: Perfect for CLI tools or apps that need basic anonymity with minimal overhead (~40MB).

⁠🔄 Rotating Identity (rotating)

• Web Scraping: Aggregate data from public sources without hitting IP-based rate limits or bans.
• API Load Testing: Simulate traffic coming from multiple unique identities to test system resiliency.
• Market Research: Access region-locked data or price-comparison sites across different Tor exit nodes.

⁠🧅 Onion Sidecar (onion)

• No-IP Hosting: Host a website or API from your home computer or local server without needing a Static IP or port forwarding.* Security First: Automatic SSL Termination. Expose your service over https:// with auto-generated self-signed certificates.* Bypass Restrictions: Access your internal dashboard (Grafana, Admin UI) securely while behind strict corporate firewalls or CGNAT.
• Secure IoT Gateways: Connect to your smart home or remote devices using a private .onion address that works globally.

⁠🛠️ Usage

⁠Standard Client (Single Identity)

Run the latest stable version (slim image ~40MB):

docker run -d --name tor-client -p 9050:9050 loohive/tor:latest

⁠Rotating Proxy (Multi-Identity)

For automated rotation, use the multi-instance version:

docker run -d --name tor-rotating -p 9050:9050 -e TOR_INSTANCES=10 loohive/tor:rotating

⁠Onion Sidecar (Production-Ready Hosting)

Expose any web service (Nginx, Apache, Node.js, PHP, etc.) as a hidden service instantly.

Why it's powerful:

• 🌐 Production-Ready: Full support for CRUD operations (POST, PUT, DELETE), cookies, and deep subpage routing.
• � Dual Protocol: Automatically exposes your service via both HTTP (80) and HTTPS (443) with built-in SSL termination.
• 🛡️ NAT & Firewall Bypass: Works behind CGNAT and strict firewalls. No port forwarding or static IP required.
• 🚀 Automated Identity: Dynamically generates your .onion address and prints it to your logs on first run.
