Screenshots
OnionFruit is the developer for OnionFruit Connect. This Tor gateway is free to download for your Windows computer. In order to function, it’ll need 2GB RAM, a non-proxied internet connection, .NET Framework 4.7.2 or 4.8 and Windows 10.
OnionFruit Connect routes your encrypted traffic through high-speed servers. You can use it to access Tor-exclusive sites, create a bridge and access the control system. It’ll even let you integrate it into your program. Another way to ensure privacy on the Internet is with the Tor Browser for Windows.
Download, install and connect
Start by first downloading the .NET framework if you don’t have it on your PC. Then, download OnionFruit Connect and run the installation file. After installation, the app will start. You can also start it from the icon on your desktop.
Get connected in seconds by following these simple steps:
- Select the exit country or leave it set at ‘Random’.
- Flick the toggle in the coloured header on the right side, and wait for it to turn green.
- To disconnect, toggle the same button and wait for it to turn red.
OnionFruit Connect Features
OnionFruit contains an API and open-source database to find the best servers to route the encrypted traffic. You can choose the servers and countries to use or let Tor decide with a random option.
Through the SecurDNS, an extension of the core OnionFruit, it adds the capability of DNS-over-Tor, which gives you access to exclusive Tor sites. The app supports standard, obfs4 and meek bridges, as well as proxy servers.
Advanced users can use the direct connection to the Tor control system to execute commands. Specific core components are available to users to integrate into their programs. For example, libraries that involve networking, through the universal REST API framework, are called DragonFruit.
Tor Gateway vs VPN
Tor gateways and VPNs are both privacy tools, but they’re not the same. VPNs encrypt your data, and they’re faster than Tor. Unfortunately, some providers will track your browsing activity, creating a risk for online surveillance.
Tor gateways are more secure and protect you from any spying eyes. You can increase its performance by adding a VPN for more anonymity and privacy.
