Is it possible to use DotNetTor in the multithreading application.

What you can download with the NuGet is different from the source code here, that's an older version and that doesn't multithread. In the meantime I completely rewritten DotNetTor from the bottom up to make it multithreaded and much more performant, but didn't quite got it right. There were a lot of problems, but most painfully I had to turn off multithreading altogether for Linux and OSX:

https://github.com/nopara73/DotNetTor/blob/fc438daa573145b12d4ae1d93364797858bc244f/src/DotNetTor/TorSocks5Handler.cs#L72

However I had other problems, too and I didn't have the time to fix them all, so I ended up elevating out the relevant code in the application I am using it: https://github.com/zkSNACKs/WalletWasabi/blob/master/WalletWasabi.Tests/TorTests.cs

So for now, the old version, that's up on the NuGet and documented everywhere is the stable one, while this GitHub repo is in an advanced, but unstable state.
