Version: -------- [](#version) **1.0** Author: ------- [](#author) Ole Chr. Thorsen Requirements: ------------- [](#requirements) - PHP 7.1 or greater Description: ------------ [](#description) **Fucx\\TorCurl** provides a curl wrapper that works together with Tor. The main functionality is to start a Tor process and to perform curl requests (GET|POST). This codepack is not perfect, but should be very helpful for those who wanna bypass ip-blocks when performing to many requests against a server. Please use with good intent. I take no responsibiliy for any misuse or damage caused by using this package and should be used with valid concent and at your own risk. Setup ----- [](#setup) Make sure you have Tor installed with CLI support. See [install instructions here](https://community.torproject.org/onion-services/setup/install/) for different OS. Troubleshooting --------------- [](#troubleshooting) You can always add `verbose` mode to the ProxyConfig for full verbose reporting. ``` $config = new ProxyConfig(); $config->verbose(); ``` - ProxyNotExistException: Means that Tor didn't start and it can't connect to the proxy or the proxy configuration was wrong. Check your /torrc file for proper IP and Port - ProxyConnectionException: Problem getting identity from Tor connection. You have Tor installed? Test terminal command `tor`. - TorCurlExecutionException: Your curl request returned some errors. Error should be thrown. - NotImplementedException: I just didn't care to implement it. - SingeltonException: Basically what it says. You have to initialize the curl wrapper through the static `Curl::init` method and not `new Curl` - ProxyStartException: Problem starting proxy for some reason. Probably because of ProxyConfig parameter mismatch. Run verbose. If you get SSL issues: `$curl->ignoreSSL()`. Also, if Tor suddenly stop working properly, run `killall tor` and try again. Examples: --------- [](#examples) The source package comes with some examples of interacting with the Tor Curl Wrapper. See the `examples/` directory in the source package. TODO: (I won't actually ever do this, so feel free to fork and do) ------------------------------------------------------------------ [](#todo-i-wont-actually-ever-do-this-so-feel-free-to-fork-and-do) - Refactor the entire shit to look more tech savvy - Implement all request methods that I didn't give a fucx about Copyright --------- [](#copyright) Copyright (c) 2022 Ole Chr.
