Use tor (The Onion Router, onion route) to access SourceForge

 

 

See today EagletOfSourceForge Alternative Chinese websiteCannot access nowThere are not a few friends in SourceForge, and it is very difficult to maintain such an image site, and the meaning is not very great. I would like to share my own proxy solution here.

In the reply, someone suggested using WJ. It is true that Wj is a good tool, but there are many drawbacks.:

1. Wj itself is a blocked site and software, XX has too much information, and it is troublesome to download and update.
   
2. Although WJ has carried out high-intensity encryption, it claims that it has exceeded the bank's standards. However, after the new version is released, it is often banned in a phase.
   
3. The proxy speed of Wj is relatively slow.
   

However, we do not have a legitimate proxy tool? Yes, this is the solution I will introduce next: Tor (The Onion Router, onion router ).

 

Tor is a point-to-point proxy software that relies on numerous computers on the network to run the TOR service to provide proxy (the Global Tor Network is a distributed, anonymous network ). The TOR proxy network is automatically connected and access links are randomly arranged. In this way, no fixed proxy server is available and you do not need to find the proxy server address. In addition, the TOR proxy is generally around 2-5 layers, and the degree of encryption is also relatively high.

The simple working principle of Tor is as follows (For details, refer to http://www.torproject.org/overview.html.zh-cn. you can use tor_^ only after using tor_^ ):

First, the TOR obtains a list of Tor nodes from the directory server and adds them to the global TOR network.

 

To access the server on the network, the TOR will randomly arrange an access route through several layers of encrypted transmission, and then access the target server at an exit.

 

If you need to access another server, the TOR will arrange another random line to complete the access.

 

In the past, it was troublesome to use Tor, because the installation steps were quite complicated, but now it is no longer necessary. There is a software called Vidalia bundle that provides an integrated installation solution for Tor, including four components

1. Tor Core Components
   
2. Tor graphical Control Interface
   
   
3. Proxy conversion software Privoxy converts the socks proxy provided by tor to the HTTP Proxy

   
   

4. Torbutton and Firefox plug-ins, similar to WJ's Firefox plug-ins, are used to switch tor Functions
   

 

Of course, if your software does not have the proxy function, but you want to access the network through the ToR, you need an old proxy encapsulation software: sockscap32, the software can provide Proxy encapsulation for network access for any software, regardless of whether the encapsulated software has the proxy function.

 

 

When the TOR is running, you can access any website, but there are several points to note:

1. Do not use TOR for large-volume downloads, especially P2P downloads, because it seems so unfriendly that tor relay servers are built by volunteers.
   
2. Using tor may cause loss of cookies when you access the site. You need to log on again. I think it may be because the cookie is lost every time you access it at different outlets after the TOR is transferred, the specific reason is not very clear yet.
