If you want to proxy requests through Tor network, it's a good idea to
|
||||
set User-Agent of Tor Browser so it will be harder to identify such
|
||||
servers:
|

# Using Tor
|
||||
Routing requests through Tor has its benefits:
|
||||
- Google will have a hard time tracking `gtranslate` servers as they act like normal Tor users
|
||||
- You probably won't get banned as requests are made from different IPs
|
||||
|
||||
Despite that, it has some drawbacks:
|
||||
- Much slower response time
|
||||
- Might get capcha or some other junk that will block requests
|
||||
- If doing the wrong thing, you might get your server compromised (in terms of anonymity)
|
||||
- This feature is not tested in development
|
||||
|
||||
First of, you need to set up Tor daemon on the server. Here's a guide on
|
||||
ArchWiki: [Tor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/tor).
|
||||
|
||||
With default settings, it should start a SOCKS5 proxy on localhost, port
|
||||
9050.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, to minimize fingerprint, you need to use a very common user agent
|
||||
on Tor network. And, you guessed it, get it straight from Tor Browser.
|
||||
If you have one, you can just open `https://httpbin.org/headers` and
|
||||
copy it from there. If not, the latest available is provided here:

|
||||
|
||||
Full setup:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
./gtranslate \
|
||||
--user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0" \
|
||||
--proxy socks5://localhost:1080 \ # Set `Socks5Proxy localhost` in Tor config
|
||||
--proxy "socks5://localhost:9050" \
|
||||
...
|
||||
```
