[tor-talk] Tor users from Finland jumped from 25 000 to 200 000

2022-01-11 Thread Nurmi, Juha
Hello,

There have been around 25 000 Tor users from Finland. The number of users
is very stable. Except right now I see a spike of 200 000 Tor users
connected from Finland. Number of users starts to increase on Tuesday
2021-12-21.

In addition, there is a spike in non-direct bridge users from Finland as
well.

All this is happening only in Finland and we can easily see that from other
countries nearby, like Denmark, Norway and Sweden, the number of connected
users is flat stable. For instance, see numbers from Sweden:

Someone could speculate that this is some kind of test carried out from
Finnish IP range or a bot network infecting only Finnish machines like
poorly configured home routers and installing malware communicating through
Tor. Furthermore, there was known Tor censorship in Russia in December, see
https://blog.torproject.org/tor-censorship-in-russia/.

The fact we know is the increasing number of Tor users from Finland. Do we
actually know something concrete behind this?

Regards,
Juha

Re: [tor-talk] Can I route web traffic through Tor followed by a SOCKS or HTTPS proxy?

Yes, run Anonsurf on Linux, Tallow on Windows or some other software that 
allows you to route your whole system through Tor and than configure your web 
browser to use a proxy.

[tor-talk] Can I route web traffic through Tor followed by a SOCKS or HTTPS proxy?

2022-01-11 Thread Matt via tor-talk
Hello,

Is there a way to have HTTP(S) content run through Tor then through a
proxy (HTTPS or SOCKS). For example:

a) Run Tor (entry node, middle node, exit node).
b) In browser (TBB or any other browser) set the proxy settings to a HTTPS
or SOCKS proxy.
c) Connect to a site.

So:
a) website records the IP of the proxy.
b) proxy owner records the IP of the exit node.

The purpose of this would be to push web traffic through Tor but have the
destination site record the IP of an anonymous but non-Tor IP.

Could torsocks (for example) be used?

Thank you.
