Hello,
My name is Prakhar Pratyush. I've been working on this project- "Make TorBirdy Better (HTTP Proxy)" for a few days. I have tried to understand the project and I would like to discuss a few things.
At present, what TorBirdy does is- it configures ThunderBird to access the internet through a proxy SOCKSv5 server provided by Tor Bundle.
So, are we trying to design an standalone HTTP Proxy which will directly connect to Tor network entry point without needing entire Tor bundle or are we just trying to design an intermediatery HTTP Proxy which will then connect to Tor SOCKSv5 proxy using some form of tunneling or Masqueranding.
Thanks Prakhar Pratyush 3rd year, IIT Roorkee
Hello,
I've been working on this (GSoC) project- "Make TorBirdy better (HTTP Proxy) . In the last mail, I wrote --
[..]design an intermediatery HTTP Proxy which will then connect to Tor
SOCKSv5 proxy using some form of tunneling or
masqueranding.
I think, we can build a proposal to -- design an HTTP proxy which will intercept the original request into a database in (say) json format and then translate them into new desirable format and then forward it to Tor's SOCKSv5 proxy using some form of tunneling and masqueranding.
Is it a feasible solution ??
Thank you Prakhar Pratyush
