Question Concerning Tor Client Node #37

Closed itsMikeLowrey closed 5 years ago

itsMikeLowrey commented 5 years ago

I would like to make api request via tor in my website. I can not require that users have a local tor client running already and using a public instance dosen't seem secure. Do you know of any public library that I can use with this library so that when a user visits my website, an in browser tor client is started for this library to use? I know this is beyond the exact scope of this library but any nudge in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Tor can not be ran in browser via javascript alone. For anyone in the future looking at javascript browser support.
