A SOCKS5 localhost proxy that converts incoming messages to Sphinx and sends them to a Nym address
Usage: nym-socks5-client [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>
Commands:
init Initialise a Nym client. Do this first!
run Run the Nym client with provided configuration client optionally overriding set parameters
ecash Ecash-related functionalities
list-gateways List all registered with gateways
add-gateway Add new gateway to this client
switch-gateway Change the currently active gateway. Note that you must have already registered with the new gateway!
build-info Show build information of this binary
completions Generate shell completions
generate-fig-spec Generate Fig specification
help Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
Options:
-c, --config-env-file <CONFIG_ENV_FILE> Path pointing to an env file that configures the client
--no-banner Flag used for disabling the printed banner in tty
-h, --help Print help
-V, --version Print version
init
Initialise a Nym client. Do this first!
Usage: nym-socks5-client init [OPTIONS] --id <ID> --provider <PROVIDER>
Options:
--id <ID>
Id of client we want to create config for
--gateway <GATEWAY>
Id of the gateway we are going to connect to
--force-tls-gateway
Specifies whether the client will attempt to enforce tls connection to the desired gateway
--latency-based-selection
Specifies whether the new gateway should be determined based by latency as opposed to being chosen uniformly
--nym-apis <NYM_APIS>
Comma separated list of rest endpoints of the API validators
--provider <PROVIDER>
Address of the socks5 provider to send messages to
--use-reply-surbs <USE_REPLY_SURBS>
Specifies whether this client is going to use an anonymous sender tag for communication with the service provider. While this is going to hide its actual address information, it will make the actual communication slower and consume nearly double the bandwidth as it will require sending reply SURBs.
Note that some service providers might not support this.
[possible values: true, false]
-p, --port <PORT>
Port for the socket to listen on in all subsequent runs
--host <HOST>
The custom host on which the socks5 client will be listening for requests
-o, --output <OUTPUT>
[default: text]
[possible values: text, json]
-h, --help
Print help (see a summary with '-h')
run
Run the Nym client with provided configuration client optionally overriding set parameters
Usage: nym-socks5-client run [OPTIONS] --id <ID>
Options:
--id <ID>
Id of client we want to create config for
--gateway <GATEWAY>
Id of the gateway we want to connect to. If overridden, it is user's responsibility to ensure prior registration happened
--nym-apis <NYM_APIS>
Comma separated list of rest endpoints of the API validators
--use-anonymous-replies <USE_ANONYMOUS_REPLIES>
Specifies whether this client is going to use an anonymous sender tag for communication with the service provider. While this is going to hide its actual address information, it will make the actual communication slower and consume nearly double the bandwidth as it will require sending reply SURBs.
Note that some service providers might not support this.
[possible values: true, false]
--provider <PROVIDER>
Address of the socks5 provider to send messages to
-p, --port <PORT>
Port for the socket to listen on
--host <HOST>
The custom host on which the socks5 client will be listening for requests
-h, --help
Print help (see a summary with '-h')
import-credential
list-gateways
List all registered with gateways
Usage: nym-socks5-client list-gateways [OPTIONS] --id <ID>
Options:
--id <ID> Id of client we want to list gateways for
-o, --output <OUTPUT> [default: text] [possible values: text, json]
-h, --help Print help
add-gateway
Add new gateway to this client
Usage: nym-socks5-client add-gateway [OPTIONS] --id <ID>
Options:
--id <ID> Id of client we want to add gateway for
--gateway-id <GATEWAY_ID> Explicitly specify id of the gateway to register with. If unspecified, a random gateway will be chosen instead
--force-tls-gateway Specifies whether the client will attempt to enforce tls connection to the desired gateway
--latency-based-selection Specifies whether the new gateway should be determined based by latency as opposed to being chosen uniformly
--set-active Specify whether this new gateway should be set as the active one
--nym-apis <NYM_APIS> Comma separated list of rest endpoints of the API validators
-o, --output <OUTPUT> [default: text] [possible values: text, json]
-h, --help Print help
build-info
Show build information of this binary
Usage: nym-socks5-client build-info [OPTIONS]
Options:
-o, --output <OUTPUT> [default: text] [possible values: text, json]
-h, --help Print help
