Route selected traffic through Tor with clear controls.

OnionHop combines Proxy mode and TUN/VPN mode, supports bridges, and provides logs that explain what is happening.

Core capabilities for restrictive networks

OnionHop is built around predictable behavior: explicit modes, explicit routing, and explicit diagnostics.

Proxy mode

Route proxy-aware apps through a local SOCKS endpoint without requiring administrator rights.

TUN/VPN mode (admin)

Use system-wide routing with sing-box and Wintun for apps that ignore proxy settings.

Split tunneling

Choose which applications use Tor and which stay direct in Hybrid mode.

Smart Connect

Automatically selects the most reliable connection strategy for the current network.

CLI companion

Scriptable command-line workflow for automation, headless systems, and advanced users.

Bridge transports

Use snowflake, obfs4, meek-azure, webtunnel, or custom bridge lines.

Kill switch controls

Optional firewall protection helps prevent leaks in strict TUN configuration.

Logs and diagnostics

Review app and network logs to identify bridge and connectivity issues quickly.

DNS controls

Select DNS providers for routed traffic and enable the optional .onion DNS proxy listener.

Operational notes

Is Tor legal?

Yes in many places, but no or restricted in some jurisdictions. You are responsible for following local laws.

Do .onion sites work?

Yes. OnionHop has native options for this: use System proxy (SOCKS browser/.onion) and/or enable .onion DNS proxy in Settings (requires Administrator).

Why does TUN/VPN need admin rights?

TUN mode uses the Wintun driver and can apply firewall rules for strict kill switch behavior.
