OnionCat – An Anonymous VPN-Adapter
- p4bl0 11y agoI don't get it. It doesn't seem to be easier to setup OnionCat than to setup any hidden service. So why would I need OnionCat?
- unsignedint 11y agoYeah, which is something I routinely do with .ssh/config aliases including "proxyCommand ncat --proxy 127.0.0.1:9050 --proxy-type socks5 %h %p" Also hidden service even has a way to obscure the descriptor using HiddenServiceAuthorizeClient/HidServAuth which basically offers a layer of authentication, too.
- p4bl0 11y agoExactly (except I use nc rather than ncat (which I think is a Debian vs Red Hat thing, but I'm not sure), so the ProxyCommand is "nc -X 5 -x 127.0.0.1:9050 %h %p" for me).
- floatboth 11y agoNo fucking around with SOCKS and stuff, you get a real IP tunnel to all the ports (that are allowed by your firewall).

- msh 11y agoSome times the moderators offer people to repost interesting stories that have not gotten that much attention.
- neoCrimeLabs 11y agoGood to know. :-)
- nikolay 11y agoYup! This is what happened. I wonder why those two don't get linked somehow though. For example, when you repost, copy/move everything from the old post and do redirect the old links to the new.
- ryanlol 11y agoSometimes? I was under the impression that it was standard practice.
