A shell-based CLI tool that spins up multiple TOR instances and load-balances traffic across them through a single endpoint using HAProxy, SOCKS, or HTTP proxies (polipo, privoxy, hpts). It can also view running TOR processes and renew identities for all or selected instances.
Use cases
- run multiple tor instances with load balancing
- rotate tor identities for scraping requests
- get a single proxy endpoint backed by many tor circuits
- increase anonymity during penetration testing
- distribute traffic across several tor socks proxies
- renew tor circuits for all running instances
When to choose
- you need many simultaneous tor circuits behind one local proxy endpoint
- you want a quick shell tool to manage and renew multiple tor processes
- you are doing scraping or pentesting where IP rotation via tor helps
When to avoid
- you need maximum bandwidth or smart circuit selection, since tor already load-balances internally
- you require a maintained cross-platform GUI or Windows-native solution
- running multiple instances raises your chance of hitting a compromised exit circuit and you cannot accept that risk
