Control remote TOR gateway #11

Closed SKJoy closed 3 months ago

SKJoy commented 3 months ago

I deployed a TOR gateway using Docker on a different Linux box within my LAN and it has the control port open & enabled.

Is it possible to use this utility to connect & control that TOR gateway instance?

My PC IP where TCP is installed = 192.168.0.XXX
IP of the TOR gateway in LAN = 192.168.0.YYY
TOR gateway control port = ZZZ

Thanks in advance.

If short, it’s impossible.

At the moment, the program only works with the local tor process, which is launched through the Tor Control Panel. Full control and synchronization of all necessary data only through the control port is an impossible task, because the control port simply does not provide such capabilities.

Understood and thanks again for explaining it.
