Many search engines will present CAPTCHAs or simply block you once they suspect automated activity.

Performing reconnaisance manually is time consuming and often tedious, but there are also challenges with automating it: No client configuration necessary.One of the most interesting things about performing reconnaisance/footprinting is the wealth of information that starts to flow in about your target from the many and varied data sources on the internet. Make sure you allow internal 10.8.1.0 subnet traffic in your firewall.Ĭonnecting to different ports will allow you to switch from TOR network to regular internet connection through VPN. Iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -s -p tcp -m tcp -tcp-flags FIN,SYN,RST,ACK SYN -j REDIRECT -to-ports 9040 TransPort :9040Īnd finally route all subnet requests to TOR proxy (special configuration for DNS traffic) iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -s -p udp -m udp -dport 53 -j REDIRECT -to-ports 53 Change default torrc file appending this configuration VirtualAddrNetworkIPv4 10.192.0.0/10 It will serve as your gateway and DNS server. Then you start TOR in transparent proxy mode (please note that official documentation lists this mode as potentially insecure, refer to for details). You may want to generate another keypair. Just copy your openvpn/nf and change port Ideally I plan to run it alongside a regular VPN connection that routes all traffic to the Internet (this is already set up and working fine) but on a different port.įirst you need to run another OpenVPN instance. I frequently use OpenVPN to bypass blocking, and I want to use the same routine to connect to the Tor network both from Windows and Android devices, without bothering to change proxy settings, running local tor/orbot etc. The connection I want to set up looks something like (my device) -> VPN tunnel -> (VPN server -> Tor SOCKS proxy) -> Tor networkġ) Routing happens entirely on the server, transparently for a clientĢ) The VPN pushes socks proxy options (as it can push routes, DNS servers etc)īut I have no clue how to achieve either one. On the same server I also set up a local socks proxy (it's Tor, but I don't think it really matters for this case).Ĭan I somehow route my VPN connection to that socks proxy, without any changes in my local browser/device settings?

I'm running a VPS with the OpenVPN service.
