Hello.
I am getting not found in PATH: hpts constantly on ubuntu 18.04, even after I installed http-proxy-to-socks. How do I fix that? Please help

The project is very useful. I'm going to use it in my OnionHarvester project. My project is written in Java and thus is cross platform but the multitor is designed for *nix systems. Is it possible to release the windows version too?

Tor is supposed to have thousands of IPs in its pool but for some reason my IP used here is repeated way too often, maybe once every 20th request.
Is this related to the number of tor instances launched at beginning or is it something else?

Curious to know how does multitor creates new circuits while maintaining lots of Tor processes?

Next Release: testing
Status: In Progress

Add second type of backend for tor instances:

• polipo

Is it possible to use a multitor with bridges such as obfs4? Found the code for torrc

sudo apt-get install obfs4proxy obfsproxy tor

sudo vi /etc/tor/torrc

UseBridges 1
ClientTransportPlugin obfs3 exec /usr/bin/obfsproxy managed
ClientTransportPlugin obfs4 exec /usr/bin/obfs4proxy managed

send email to [email protected] with body get transport obfs4 you can get new bridges.

bridge obfs4 195.154.49.15:44705 BACD07DACE996093DC7635F33A98C49... cert=xc/wtKNWADfJQf232xSXT0WpzsaINw6fgPvZBy5Rkw4.../ypaZPDug9L... iat-mode=0
bridge obfs3 163.172.161.87:34827 70C720468D057BBF9F59081506D660CE87...

But dont understand how to implement bridges in the multitor. Please help

Hey

Thanks for the tool. Nice to have one.

How to gracefully stop multitor? Cannot find the command in help

If i run multitor with: multitor --init 2 -u debian-tor --socks-port 9000 --control-port 9900 --proxy http
I get: [!] incorrect proxy type

$ multitor
not found in PATH: haproxy polipo privoxy

It seems its need path, how to add the path ?

root@AVI:~# apt-get install hpts

Hi, Neat job!, THANKS, Well, I've setup it and works perfectly. The question now how to access it remotely from different PC?

I use aws debian11 os
after install ,and it say

root@ip-172-31-17-112:~/tor2/multitor# multitor
not found in PATH: nc

what is problem ?
what need install ?

[root@mzalinux multitor]# multitor --init 2 --user root --socks-port 9000 --control-port 9900 --proxy privoxy --haproxy
    socks_port:
        status: false
    socks_port:
        status: false

     Set processes: 2
           Created: 0
       Not created: 2
  Control password: DWaycOtRPdEGAbvPFV

       Proxy state: running (haproxy » privoxy » socks)

It used to works fine. but i -k it.. and now it wont work again for some reasons..

eg.

Client
|--------> HAProxy (127.0.0.1:16379)
|--------> TOR Instance (127.0.0.1:9000) (cp: 9900)
|--------> TOR Instance (127.0.0.1:9001) (cp: 9901)

When client found a tor circle not work, ( eg, 9000 )
how to send signal newnym to renew it?
cuz client doesn't know which one used

or at least during 15s ( default renew duration ),
the HAProxy will still keep forwarding traffic to this broken instance?

So, my question is,
Is there a possibility to "smart communicate" with control ports?
Besides, is there a command forward interface for docker container?

Hello,

I get the following error after trying to launch those commands:

git clone https://github.com/trimstray/multitor
cd multitor
./setup.sh install
multitor --init 2 --user debian-tor --socks-port 9000 --control-port 9900 --proxy privoxy --haproxy

[!] bad multitor directory owner

I'm working on clean version of debian 9.

Can you please help me trying to understand the causes of this error ?

Thanks a lot for your time and help

not found in PATH: haproxy polipo privoxy hpts
the above error i get while executing the multitor....FYI haproxy, polipo, privoxy and hpts is installed in Kali ....version
Linux kali 4.16.0-kali2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.16.16-2kali1 (2018-06-25) x86_64 GNU/Linux

I'm working on a project that would like to use more than 100 nodes using multitor. However, I am not able to spawn above this number.

I've tried to identify the problem, but I must admit that my bash debugging skills are limited. What could be the reason for this?

I'm not getting any particular error message.

root@termos:~# multitor --init 2 --user debian-tor --socks-port 9000 --control-port 9900 --proxy privoxy --haproxy

not found in PATH: hpts
what is problem ?
what need install ?

Could anyone please help me, how to make multitor start with a system? (debian)

i try install your script but when i run
./setup.sh install
i get this error .
Create man page to /usr/local/man/man8

plus what command needed to make my all internet in vps use your script exactly "http proxy"
? please help ASAP.

i don't know if this feature is not available to begin with, but i want to note that when i initiate a number of tor instances multitor kills the previously created ones.

I have the problem that privoxy does not work command:

multitor --init 2 -u misec --socks-port 9000 --control-port 9900 --proxy privoxy

the working processes:

[ root ]# netstat -tapn | grep LISTEN | grep "tor\|haproxy\|polipo\|privoxy\|node"

privoxy only works if I run it manually with the configuration file of the /multitor/etc directory

/usr/bin/privoxy --no-daemon privoxy.cfg 

what is happening?

Default values:

defaults proxy
  mode              tcp
  timeout connect   200ms
  timeout client    2000ms
  timeout server    750ms
  retries           0

After use, I find that they do not work optimally.

For polipo/privoxy the better values are:

defaults proxy
  mode              tcp
  timeout connect   5000ms
  timeout client    15000ms
  timeout server    15000ms
  retries           0

How to run multitor after launching other applications through init.d in debian?

Status: In Progress

Kill properly polipo service.

Next Release: testing
Status: In Progress

Load balancing between multiple tor instances/ports:

• haproxy

Rebooted the server. I run the script gives the following error:
"value is less than or equal 1023"

Hi, I was wondering if there is a mechanism in place to allow specifying the exit node:

ExitNodes {us} StrictNodes 1

I could not find anything in the documentation or in the code that indicated an environment variable etc... to allow you to set the value for this. I would be willing to contribute the change if you can direct me to where it should be added. I looked through the code and it would require a deeper dive to get my head wrapped around it enough to figure out what's going on.

Thank you in advance!

Can it be used for onion services balancing or is it just a forward client connection?

I have run:

service haproxy start
service tor start
service polipo start

I have tried creating the user debian-tor I have run it with the services stopped, I don't know why I keep getting: Proxy state disable (only tor) thanks

IF we can use this in windows please provide me how to set this up in detail

I don't know why MultiTor cannot run, could you help me to fix the issue?

Another request, because I used Privoxy instead of Polipo, when I don't install Polipo and run MultiTor with the command multitor --init 20 --user root --socks-port 9000 --control-port 9900 --proxy privoxy --haproxy and the output was not found in PATH: polipo. So, I must install Polipo to run MultiTor. I guess it would be wonderful to fix this.

Many thanks,

after running setup.sh, and attempting to run the program i was greeted with no std output. Digging around the logs, found the issue. should be handled in setup.sh

it didn't make the directory /var/lib/multitor, so I made it, then it complained about a ownership problem.
to fix that I simply used chown $USER /var/lib/multitor

Hi,
I am getting the following error when trying to check IPs

for i in $(seq 1 4) ; do printf "req %2d: " "$i" ; curl -k --location --socks5 127.0.0.1:15379 http://ipinfo.io/ip ; done
req 1: curl: (7) Unable to receive initial SOCKS5 response.
Using centos 6-64bit but I don't understand what this issue is.
