Tor support? #45

Open kortschak opened 3 years ago

kortschak commented 3 years ago

The python implementation offers optional support for transport via tor. Is there an intention to add this to wormhole-william?

psanford commented 3 years ago

I've avoided tor support as it add a lot of complexity for a feature most users do not use.

Ideally it would be possible to use the wormhole-william library to support third-party clients that want tor. Unfortunately right now I don't think the library can be used with tor in a privacy preserving manner. The main issue is that under the non-tor mode, the clients try to connect directly to each other so they share their IP address with each other as part of the encrypted rendezvous protocol.

At a minimum, the library would need an option to specify tor-tcp-v1 transit instead of direct-tcp-v1 or relay-v1. I'd be open to doing this if it can be done in such a way that doesn't add a lot of additional complexity.

Thanks. If you can point me to the areas where changes would be required, I'm happy to look into this.

Could you use torsocks?

upping request for optional Tor integration, f.ex. thru Torsocks.
