Oniux: Kernel-level Tor isolation for any Linux app
Introducing oniux: Kernel-level Tor isolation for any Linux app. This torsocks alternative uses namespaces to isolate Linux applications over the Tor network and eliminate data leaks.
Built on Arti, and onionmasq, oniux drop-ships any Linux program into its own network namespace to route it through Tor and strips away the potential for data leaks. You may have also heard of a tool with a similar goal, known as torsocks, which works by overwriting all network-related libc functions in a way to route traffic over a SOCKS proxy offered by Tor. While this approach is a bit more cross-platform, it has the notable downside that applications making system calls not through a dynamically linked libc, either with malicious intent or not, will leak data.
