✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, welcome to DNF-TORPROXY(8) — the manual page for dnf-torproxy, aka the DNF torproxy Plugin. It comes from the dnf-plugins-extras fam, and its whole vibe is keeping your traffic inside the tor network. 🧚💜

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the glow-up: it automatically passes all traffic in the tor network, and it aborts if tor is not running or blocked. Why? To avoid any kind of identity leak. No cap, that's the whole point. 🔥

But wait — if there are specific proxy settings in the configuration, the plugin will not overwrite them. It assumes the user did set them on purpose, which is honestly so respectful. 💅

🎀 CONFIGURATION 🎀

The config file lives here:

/etc/dnf/plugins/torproxy.conf

The minimal content of conf file should contain main sections with parameters enabled and strict — otherwise the plugin will not work. If the strict parameter is set to True, the torproxy plugin will halt DNF in the case of Tor network unavailability. 😭

[main]
enabled = true
strict = false

If you do not want to use the default setup of tor — ie running it on the localhost — you can also specify the port and host of the tor client in a torproxy section like this:

[torproxy]
port = 9050
host = tor.example.org
