I’m still in the process of experimentation. An example of the flushing thing is that you can’t simply pass the DataStream/connection directly into crates like fast-socks5 which depend on implicit behavior by the TCPStream struct which implements the AsyncReader/Writer traits which don’t require it. I had to manually add a bunch of flushes after each write chunk.

Another thing is that some features have been partially implemented but not configurable (basically dead code for now) such as ephemeral hidden services. I spent a good few days forking and implementing that myself and am in contact with the devs to see how it could be implemented/merged in a cleaner way. Some of my code: https://gitlab.torproject.org/acheong08/arti/-/compare/main....

I wanted a socks5 proxy over a hidden service to securely expose my machine in a firewall without owning any servers in between or having to mess with port forwarding.

Now working on a new pluggable transport to tunnel tor connections over syncthing relays.

Mostly just for fun, nothing actually too useful yet
