Enhancment - Password Protected Proxy support #105

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Why not include proxy and NAT support with authentication(plain-text)?

I'm behind a NAT/proxy either way UDP isn't supported.

Or let us know how to do it if there are other programs that can do it.

TorChat works fine behind NAT, it does not use incoming connections (only on 
the loopback and only to internally communicate between Tor and TorChat). 

All traffic with the outside world is done only with outgoing connections to 
other Tor nodes (regular Tor connections, just like as if you were using Tor 
for surfing the web). 

If you need a proxy for outgoing connections (or Tor is otherwise not able to 
connect to the Tor network because of censorship) then this must be configured 
in the torrc.txt (man torrc, all documented tor options can be used to 
configure proxy, bridges, etc.)
