The super easy way to setup a tor SOCKS5 proxy server without relay/exit feature.
-
Setup the proxy server at the first time
$ docker run -d --name tor_socks_proxy -p 127.0.0.1:9150:9150 peterdavehello/tor-socks-proxy:latest
If you already setup the instance before*(not the first time)*, just start it:
$ docker start tor_socks_proxy
-
Make sure it's running
$ docker logs tor_socks_proxy . . . Jan 10 01:06:59.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 85%: Finishing handshake with first hop Jan 10 01:07:00.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 90%: Establishing a Tor circuit Jan 10 01:07:02.000 [notice] Tor has successfully opened a circuit.

Take
ssh
andnc
as an example, connect to a host via tor:$ ssh -o ProxyCommand='nc -x 127.0.0.1:9150 %h %p' target.hostname.blah
