o Major features (security, unix domain sockets):
|
|
|
- - Tor can now expose a SOCKS proxy over an AF_UNIX Unix Domain
|
|
|
- Socket. This allows client applications to Tor without having
|
|
|
- creating AF_INET or AF_INET6 sockets. If an application has
|
|
|
- permission to connect to Tor's AF_UNIX socket, it can communicate
|
|
|
- with Tor as if it were an other SOCKS proxy. This should allow
|
|
|
- high risk applications to use Tor while completely disabling their
|
|
|
- ability to make non-Tor connections. To create a socket of this
|
|
|
- type, use "SocksPort unix:/path/to/socket". Closes ticket 12585.
