These proxies can appear useful, but I'm just going to drop by here to say that this a particularly bad idea to spread among non-technical people. I've seen these proxies bleed into more problematic Tor use cases among vulnerable individuals. Defaults matter, and as technical people we should assume a bit of 'do no harm' moral responsibility for people who seek our advice. Tor Browser is painstakingly maintained to be fit for its specific purpose. If you're not authorized to install Tor Browser on a device and to emit Tor traffic on the network you're using, you generally shouldn't access Tor there. Anyone using Tor to access resources that might get them in trouble in the country they're in should look into proper operational security with Tor Project-provided infrastructure like bridges.[1] The special purpose Tails operating system can be used with bootable USB memory on common hardware like laptops without leaving a trace.[2] 1 - https://www.torproject.org/docs/bridges.html.en https://www.torproject.org/docs/bridges.html.en 2 - https://tails.boum.org/ https://tails.boum.org/
