Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

pi-tor-proxy

A pi-coding-agent extension that routes pi agent requests through the Tor network. Self-contained - automatically downloads and manages a Tor binary with no system installation required.

Note: This extension only routes requests made by the pi agent (HTTP calls, tool executions, etc.) through Tor. It does not affect other applications or system-wide traffic on your machine.

When Tor mode is active:

  • Environment variables (HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, ALL_PROXY) are set for HTTP/HTTPS requests
  • Status indicator shows in the footer with your current exit IP: 🔒 Tor (IP: x.x.x.x)
  • Zero dependencies - uses only Node.js built-ins and downloads Tor directly from the Tor Project

Installation

From npm:

pi install npm:pi-tor-proxy

From a local checkout:

pi install /path/to/pi-tor-proxy

Commands

| Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | /tor-start | Enable Tor mode (downloads Tor on first run) | | /tor-stop | Disable Tor mode | | /tor-status | Show Tor status and current exit IP | | /tor-cycle | Get a new Tor circuit (new IP address) |

How It Works

  1. First time you run /tor-start, it downloads the Tor expert bundle (~30MB) from archive.torproject.org
  2. Tor binary is stored in the extension's .tor/ directory
  3. Starts Tor and waits for it to bootstrap (typically 10-15 seconds)
  4. Sets proxy environment variables that most HTTP clients respect
  5. Shows 🔒 Tor (IP: x.x.x.x) in footer when active

Environment Variables

When Tor mode is active, the extension sets:

  • HTTP_PROXY=socks5h://127.0.0.1:9050
  • HTTPS_PROXY=socks5h://127.0.0.1:9050
  • ALL_PROXY=socks5h://127.0.0.1:9050
  • (lowercase variants also set)

The socks5h:// scheme means DNS requests are also routed through Tor.

Getting a New IP

Use /tor-cycle to get a fresh Tor circuit with a new exit node. This restarts the Tor process to establish new circuits.
