Tor browser integration

[peepo5]

The tor project is an incredible innovation, being able to truly anonymize users through using the onion structure of the network and also a hardened browser based on firefox. Lokinet looks to me like the next step on from tor, but with speeds where it can be used for things that tor previously could not. However, I see a problem right now which is that there is no anonymous way to access surface web sites through lokinet. The tor browser does not support .loki domains even when a normal browser would, which is annoying because the tor browser is one of the most hardened browsers that exist. My proposal would either be direct collaboration with the tor team (a big ask) or a community-started fork which opens a passthrough for loki domains and possibly other integration features. This would be amazing and a dream come true :) By the way I do not want to get into an argument about w3 just the possibility of tor integration and others ideas. Thanks!

Torproject doesn't adapt sufficient randomization of the fingerprint and relies on multiple users having the same or very simmilar fingerprint so for lokinet integration in torproject it would have to pass an independent security review and even then it's probably not mergable in the tor browser.

I rather argue for a method to integrate UI in firefox or just release a firefox with a patch that integrates the UI for lokinet and it's deployment in sandboxed environment that can be then hardened.

The service is active, but how do i route normal websites through loki then because they can still see my IP

lokinet-vpn --exit exit.loki --up

or add this snippet to /var/lib/lokinet/conf.d/00-exit.ini and restart lokinet.

[network]
exit-node=exit.loki

(alternatively replace exit.loki with an exit node of your choice)

I see where you are coming from in the first section. Do you think a passthrough for .loki domains would be a good idea? -- @peepopoggers (#1821 (reply in thread))

yes passthrough for loki's Top-Level Domain ("TLD") would be mandatory for such patch.

So to clarify i am proposing taking bare-minimum firefox and just defining UI and sandboxing for standalone loki for it and just let people do whatever they want with it in terms of hardening or even allow them to submit patches for hardening.

Seems like 20 min adventure of work for oxen project.

Or even icecat by GNU which already does most of the work for such implementation.
