aperçu
VPN-adapter that provides location privacy using Tor or I2P
historique
OnionCat is a long-running networking experiment that maps Tor hidden services or I2P tunnels into an IPv6 TUN interface. It makes onion/I2P endpoints look like peers on an IP network, so ordinary IP-based protocols can travel over Tor or I2P hidden-service transports.
OnionCat development began in 2008, when Tor hidden-service v2 identifiers were short enough to be reversibly mapped into IPv6 addresses under a special prefix. Its own documentation describes the core trick as translating between OnionCat IPv6 addresses and .onion hostnames, then forwarding packets between a local TUN device and remote OnionCat peers.
The move from Tor v2 hidden services to v3 onion services challenged OnionCat's original design because v3 identifiers no longer fit inside an IPv6 address. OnionCat4 added lookup machinery to preserve the virtual-network model after the identifier-size change.
OnionCat has been packaged beyond a single ecosystem: Debian documented an ocat(1) man page by the Jessie era, and Homebrew packages onioncat for macOS and Linux users. Its GitHub repository is the official upstream and had an onioncat-4.11.0 release dated March 9, 2023.
Users run ocat with a local onion or I2P identifier, and OnionCat opens a TUN device, assigns it a derived IPv6 address, and relays packets through Tor or I2P. The tool can carry TCP, UDP, and other IP-based traffic, making it resemble a peer-to-peer VPN between hidden services rather than a web-only Tor client.
The README also exposes OnionCat's operational rough edges: it is a userland connector, depends on Tor/I2P setup, and does not add its own encryption on top of the transport. That makes it a tool for operators who understand the underlying anonymity network rather than a general-purpose consumer VPN.
OnionCat matters because it is one of the more literal attempts to package 'IP over onion services' as a Unix-style command. It combines old-school TUN-device networking, IPv6 address mapping, Tor/I2P naming, and distro packaging into a compact but unusual formula.
