A Docker image that runs multiple Tor instances behind HAproxy and Polipo, exposing a single HTTP proxy endpoint that rotates through many Tor exit IPs. It provides load balancing across Tor circuits with a stats dashboard.

Use cases

• rotate IP addresses for web scraping through a single proxy endpoint
• run many Tor circuits behind one HTTP proxy
• load-balance requests across multiple Tor instances
• anonymize outbound HTTP requests from an application
• get a rotating SOCKS/HTTP proxy in Docker

When to choose

• you need many rotating Tor exit IPs behind one endpoint
• you want a ready-made Docker setup with HAproxy load balancing
• you need HTTP proxy access to Tor (which only offers SOCKS natively)

When to avoid

• you need a non-Tor rotating residential proxy service
• you need high throughput or low latency
• you cannot run Docker or don't want Tor traffic
