+`multitor` was created with the aim of initialize many **TOR** processes as quickly as possible. I could use many instances for my daily use programs (web browsers, messangers and other). In addition, I was looking for a tool that would increase anonymity when conducting penetration tests and testing the security of infrastructure.

-## Description
-
-It provides one single endpoint for clients. Supports **[HAProxy](http://www.haproxy.org/)**, **socks** protocol and **http-proxy** servers: **[polipo](https://www.irif.fr/~jch/software/polipo/)**, **[privoxy](https://www.privoxy.org/)** and **[hpts](https://github.com/oyyd/http-proxy-to-socks)**.

-## Gotchas
+Before using the `multitor` you need to remember:
 
 - **TOR** does attempt to generate a bunch of streams for you already. From this perspective, it is already load balancing (and it's much smarter at it than **HAproxy**)
 - the main goal is masking from where we get by sending requests to multiple streams. It is not so easy to locate where an attacker comes from. If you used http/https servers e.g. proxy servers, you will know what is going on but...

 - **[Bash](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/)** (testing on 4.4.19)

-Also you will need **root access**.

-
-### Limitations
-
 - each **TOR**, **http-proxy** and **HAProxy** processes needs a certain number of memory. If the number of **TOR** processes is too big, the oldest one will be automatically killed by the system
 - **Polipo** is no longer supported but it is still a very good and light proxy. In my opinion the best http-proxy solution is **Privoxy**

-## How to use Python with Tor and Privoxy
-
 Tested on **Ubuntu 18.04 Docker container**. The Dockerfile is a single line `FROM ubuntu:18.04`. Alternatively, you can simply run `docker run -it ubuntu:18.04 bash`.
 
 NOTE: stopping services didn't work for me for some reason. That's why there is `kill $(pidof <service name>)` after each failed `service <service name> stop` to kill it.
