  • Fidonet TOR service

    From Richard Menedetter@2:310/31 to All on Sun Jan 16 10:42:08 2022
    Hi All!

    If somebody wants to try to connect to Fidonet over a TOR hidden service then please let me know.
    I will send you an onion address.

    In regards to how to connect, should be as easy as running this:
    torsocks binkd
    and then configure the onion address as my DNS name.

    Should work with IPv4 or IPv6 as transport.

    CU, Ricsi

    or via -pipe option

    node 1:2/3 -pipe "ncat --proxy-type socks5 --proxy 127.0.0.1:9050 abc123.onion 24554"


    or with a perl hook

    file tor-hook.pl:

    sub on_call
    {
    .if ($config{"tor-proxy"}) {
    ..foreach (split(/;/, $hosts)) {
    ...if ($_ =~ /\.onion\z/) {
    ....$hosts = $_;
    ....$socks = $config{"tor-proxy"};
    ....Log(3, "Cpt. Hook: using tor-proxy $socks for .onion address");
    ...}
    ..}
    .}
    .return 1;
    }


    binkd.cfg:
    perl-hooks /etc/binkd/tor-hook.pl
    perl-var tor-proxy 127.0.0.1:9050/

    node 1:2/3 abc123.onion

    Hi Oli!

    or via -pipe option
    node 1:2/3 -pipe "ncat --proxy-type socks5 --proxy 127.0.0.1:9050 abc123.onion 24554"

    Thanx for the testing opportunity.
    Seems to work fine!
