About

Hi, I made this transparent proxy because I wanted to make a tool that felt easy to use. You just have to turn it on and forget it, and as soon as you turn it off your computer will go back to the previous state. In a few words, TTP intercepts all TCP traffic and DNS queries (using nftables) and redirects them to respectively Tor&#x27;s TransPort and DNSPort. When turned off, it destroys its dedicated table atomically, without breaking your network configuration on your machine. It also implements a kill-switch for connections established before TTP starts (outgoing traffic is rejected, doing so the connection gets automatically re-estrablished using the secure connection). In the end, it offers SELinux custom policies and it is crash safe (using a lock file in &#x2F;var&#x2F;lib&#x2F;ttp). Disclaimer: this tool is not meant for high-risk activities. I DO NOT recommend it for further purpose rather than privacy and&#x2F;or for testing&#x2F;developing it. Finally, this is just a v0.1.0 by an undergraduate cs student. I made this to learn, so, please, help me out! Thank you all.

AI Score Reasoning

This is currently a student-led open-source project rather than a commercial startup, lacking a clear business model or venture-scale market strategy. While the technical implementation of nftables for Tor proxying is sound for a v0.1.0, the project's own disclaimer regarding high-risk use cases and its status as a learning exercise limits its immediate investment potential.
