Socks > TOR for specific configs

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I want to keep my IP private when mounting selected rclone configs by routing through TOR via socks5.

But I need this only for specific configs where privacy is needed more than speed.

Can you please consider adding this functionality for specific configs rather than all rclone connections.

Thanks

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

  • os/type: linux
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.25.8
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: none

hi,

use the command line argument --http-proxy to set the proxy, and in turn use an override in the config file if you want it set for a single backend, eg override.http_proxy = http://... in the config file.

I don’t think this works with protondrive remote?
