HTTPS proxy url

Support Tor Browser Desktop
1

I use Tor Browser in Windows and I want to setup proxy settings. TOR protocol is blocked in Russia, and bridges are blocked often.
My proxy is HTTPS url, it mimics as usual https site with url like https://myproxy.xyz.com

I have set up this https proxy on my own VPS.
So how to insert https proxy url in TorBrowser settings? And is tor browser supports this kind of connection configuration?

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Select “Connection” on the left
  3. Scroll to the bottom and in “Advanced” section click “Settings…”
  4. Connection settings popup will appear and you can configure your proxy

There is no “proxy url” in proxy settings. I put there proxy url in HOST field and 443 in port field but it doesnt work

What kind of https proxy did you install on your server?

I use dumbproxy GitHub - SenseUnit/dumbproxy: Dumbest HTTP proxy ever
With usual browsers I use PAC script which returns “HTTPS mydomain.com:443”
and it works just fine, but TorBrowser dont work with it despite you can see “https” on proxy configuration page

It’s in the “Advanced” section, “Configure how Tor Browser connects to the internet”.
I believe this should work.

I am not sure about the specifics of how dumbproxy works, but if it really is just an HTTP proxy, then this setup should work.
Otherwise you can consider GitHub - serjs/socks5-server .

If you don’t care about privacy that Tor Browser provides and only want to circumvent the blockings, you can set up any other browser to use a proxy.

If you’re feeling adventurous / generous, you could set up a Tor bridge instead for others to use as well. Since you have a domain, a WebTunnel bridge would perhaps be nicer.
