💖 SELEKTOR(1) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about selekTOR — a Java based Tor exit node selector and traffic router, and honestly? she's iconic. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

selekTOR — Java based Tor exit node selector and traffic router. no cap, that's the whole vibe. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

selektor [OPTIONS] ...

yes babes, that's it, that's the summoning ritual 🎀

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So. SelekTOR is a GUI frontend for the network Tor client. She's here for security and anonymization purposes, or to bypass some firewall when the internet is being dramatic. 🔥

What she does is simplify the process of selecting Tor exit nodes and she also manages selective URL pattern based routing via system proxying. Basically she takes the scary networking stuff and makes it cute and clickable. main character energy fr fr. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

okay here's the menu, no skipping, we list every single one because that's the rules 💖

• --help — shows this help information. the classic "what do i even do" button, we love her 🫶
• --debug-all [filename] — dumps ALL the debug output. everything. the whole diary. 💀
• --debug-warn [filename] — warnings level debug output. only the mildly concerning tea ☕
• --debug-info [filename] — information level debug output. just the facts, bestie 📋
• --debug-fine [filename] — fine level debug output. getting a lil more detailed ✨
• --debug-finer [filename] — finer level debug output. even more detail, she's zooming in 🔍
• --debug-finest [filename] — finest level debug output. maximum detail, absolutely unhinged levels of thorough 🌈
• --reset-defaults — returns your user settings to their safe defaults. factory reset but make it self care 🧖
• --clear-cache — clears the Tor cache on startup. spring cleaning, but for Tor 🧹🌸
• --ignore-desktop — ignores desktop detection information. she simply does not perceive it 🙈
• --start-delay — delays startup in seconds. like, for example: --start-delay 5. she needs a lil moment ⏰
• --cleanup — cleans up after a bad shutdown which may have left the system proxy in an unknown state. the emergency recovery girlie 💅
• --default-proxy-quiet — sets the system proxy back to its defaults quietly, without a GUI dialog. no popups, no drama, just vibes 🤫
• --restore-proxy-quiet — attempts to restore the proxy to its last known settings using a previously saved backup, without GUI dialog. sneaky and efficient 🥷
• --default-proxy — sets the system proxy back to its defaults, and she accepts verification input via a GUI dialog. so yes, a lil window will show up asking you things 👀
• --restore-proxy — attempts to restore the proxy to its last known settings using a previously saved backup, with input verification via a GUI dialog. backup girlie with a confirmation popup 🫶
• --update-disable — disables the version update checking at startup AND removes the option from preferences. she's cutting ties completely, no going back, periodt 💀
