Please see https://github.com/Ayms/node-Tor and http://peersm.com/peersm2=
=0A=
=0A=
This is a javascript implementation of the Tor protocol on server side=0A=
(nodejs) and inside browsers, please note that it is not intended to add=0A=
nodes into the Tor network, neither to implement the Tor Browser=0A=
features, it is intended to build projects using the Tor protocol from=0A=
the browser and/or servers (most likely P2P projects), the Onion Proxy=0A=
and Onion Router functions are available directly inside the browser=0A=
which establishes circuits with other nodes understanding the Tor=0A=
protocol (so it's not a "dumb" proxy), but it can of course establish=0A=
circuits with the Tor network nodes (see=0A=
https://github.com/Ayms/node-Tor#test-configuration-and-use) and act as=0A=
a Tor node=0A=
=0A=
It is financed by NLnet via EU Horizon 2020 Next Generation Internet=0A=
Privacy & Trust Enhancing Technologies, now open source under a MIT=0A=
license and we made it modular, it is fast (extensively tested when=0A=
video streaming was there, especially with bittorrent or ORDB concept)=0A=
and the total unminified code=0A=
(https://github.com/Ayms/node-Tor/blob/master/html/browser.js) is only 1=0A=
MB (so ~600 kB minified) which is quite small for what it does, this is=0A=
not a browser extension/module but pure js=0A=
=0A=
Possible next steps are to implement elliptic crypto and connections via=0A=
WebRTC Snowflake (peersm2 above uses WebSockets a bit the way flashproxy=0A=
was working, ie implementing the ws interface on bridges side), as well=0A=
as integrating it with "Discover and move your coins by yourself"=0A=
(https://peersm.com/wallet) for anonymous blockchain search and=0A=
anonymous sending of transactions from the browser=0A=
