Description: |
|
|
|
This article is about a software named **onioncat**, it is available as |
|
a |
|
package on most Unix and Linux systems. This software allows to create |
|
an IPv6 |
|
VPN over Tor, with no restrictions on network usage. |
|
|
|
First, we need to install onioncat, on OpenBSD: |
|
|
|
$ doas pkg_add onioncat |
|
|
|
Run a tor hidden service, as explained in one of my previous article, |
|
and get |
|
the hostname value. If you run multiples hidden services, pick one |
|
hostname. |
|
|
|
# cat /var/tor/ssh_hidden_service/hostname |
|
g6adq2w15j1eakzr.onion |
|
|
|
Now that we have the hostname, we just need to run `ocat`. |
|
|
|
# ocat g6adq2w15j1eakzr.onion |
|
|
|
If everything works as expected, a [tun](https://man.openbsd.org/tun) |
|
interface |
|
will be created. With a fe80:: IPv6 address assigned to it, and a |
|
fd87:: |
|
address. |
|
|
|
Your system is now reachable, via Tor, through its IPv6 address |
|
starting with |
|
fd87:: . It supports _every_ IP protocol. Instead of using **torsocks** |
|
wrapper |
|
and .onion hostname, you can use the IPv6 address with any software. |
