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
