tun2tor
A Rust library that creates a utun interface and routes traffic through Tor for secure network tunneling.
What is tun2tor?
tun2tor is a Rust library that creates a virtual utun (userspace tunnel) interface and routes network traffic through Tor or other stream-based proxies. It solves the problem of securely tunneling network data for applications requiring privacy and anonymity, such as those in the iCepa project.
Developers working on privacy-focused applications, especially those embedding secure tunneling in iOS or macOS projects, or anyone needing a lightweight library to route traffic through Tor.
Developers choose tun2tor for its simplicity, embeddability, and direct integration with Tor, offering a specialized solution over generic tunneling tools. Its use of Rust ensures memory safety and performance, while Tokio provides efficient async handling.
