Ensure Tor is listening for Socks5 connections on port 9150 (a simple way to accomplish this is by opening the Tor Browser Bundle and leaving it open). Your connections should now be routed through Tor. -Pull requests and issues are welcome - ### Tor video routing If you wish to route the video through Tor, set "Route Tor" to "On, including video". Because this is bandwidth-intensive, you are strongly encouraged to donate to the [consortium of Tor node operators](https://torservers.net/donate.html). For instance, donations to [NoiseTor](https://noisetor.net/) go straight towards funding nodes. Using their numbers for bandwidth costs, together with an average of 485 kbit/sec for a diverse sample of videos, and assuming n hours of video watched per day, gives $0.03n/month. A $1/month donation will be a very generous amount to not only offset losses, but help keep the network healthy. In general, Tor video routing will be slower (for instance, moving around in the video is quite slow). I've never seen any signs that watch history in yt-local affects on-site Youtube recommendations. It's likely that requests to googlevideo are logged for some period of time, but are not integrated into Youtube's larger advertisement/recommendation systems, since those presumably depend more heavily on in-page tracking through Javascript rather than CDN requests to googlevideo. +## Contributing + +Pull requests and issues are welcome + +For coding guidelines and an overview of the software architecture, see the HACKING.md file. + ## License This project is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3 (GNU AGPLv3) or any later version. |
