Show HN: Tornago – Cross-platform Tor wrapper in Go (client and server)

tornago is a Tor wrapper library written in Go, created because some tools — especially around fraud prevention and privacy — need safe, anonymized network routes.

It’s intended for production use, but it hasn’t seen enough real users yet, so there are bugs that will only surface through actual deployments.

Highlights

- Works on Windows, macOS, Linux, and BSDs (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, DragonFly)

- Supports both client and server, including .onion Hidden Services

- Manages the tor daemon lifecycle + SOCKS5 communication

I’d like to see it tested in real projects — whether that’s fraud investigation, anonymous crawling, privacy-focused services, or simply protecting your own identity when accessing the network.

If Tor reliability matters to your system, try it and let me know what breaks. Issues and PRs are welcome.
