Tor Relay Availability Checker

This is golang fork of ValdikSS/tor-relay-scanner.

---

This small program downloads all Tor Relay IP addresses from onionoo.torproject.org directly and via embedded proxies, and checks whether random Tor Relays are reachable from your Internet connection.

It could be used to find working Relay in a countries with Internet censorship and blocked Tor, and use it as Bridge to connect to Tor network, bypassing standard well-known nodes embedded into Tor code.

How to use with Tor (daemon)

This utility is capable of generating torrc configuration file containing Bridge information. Launch it with the following arguments:

--torrc --outfile /etc/tor/bridges.conf

And append:

%include /etc/tor/bridges.conf

to the end of /etc/tor/torrc file to make Tor daemon load it.

How to use as a standalone tool

Windows: download *.exe file from Releases and run it in console (start → cmd)

Linux & macOS: download binary file from Releases and run it:

./tor-relay-scanner-go

Tor-relay-scanner-go gets proxy information from environment. Or you can set it from variables:

HTTP_PROXY=http://example.com:3128 HTTPS_PROXY=http://example.com:3128 ./tor-relay-scanner-go
