Feature: Enhanced Upstream Options and Tor

Feature Request: Enhanced Upstream Options and Tor Integration

Overview

First of all, great to see the team back with a fantastic new update! I'd like to propose two feature enhancements that would significantly improve Hiddify's functionality.

Feature 1: Flexible Upstream Proxy Options for Static IP Requirements

Current Behavior: Currently, only WARP is available as an upstream option.

Request: Add support for various proxy types as upstream options, including:

· SOCKS5
· HTTP/HTTPS
· VLESS
· VMESS
· Shadowsocks
· Other popular proxy protocols

Why This Matters: Having a static IP through an upstream proxy is essential for many websites and applications. When IP addresses change too frequently or jump between different countries, services often flag accounts as bots and ban them. A reliable upstream proxy with a consistent IP address helps maintain account stability and avoids these false-positive bans.

Additional Benefit: This would also allow users to chain connections and create more complex routing scenarios, similar to how upstream proxies work in other tools.

Feature 2: Tor Integration with Bridge and Upstream Support

Current Behavior: No built-in Tor functionality.

Request: Compile Sing-box with Tor core integration and add Tor support to the app with the following capabilities:

· Toggle Tor on/off
· Configure Tor through UI or custom configuration files
· Bridge support (essential for connecting in regions where ISPs block direct Tor connections)
· Upstream proxy support for Tor - Allow Tor to use a static IP upstream proxy

Why Upstream Proxy for Tor Matters: Just like regular connections, Tor also changes paths and rotates IPs frequently, jumping between different countries. This can trigger the same bot detection and account bans from websites and services. By allowing Tor to route through a static IP upstream proxy, users can maintain the privacy benefits of Tor while presenting a consistent IP address to websites, avoiding false-positive bans.

Platform Priority: iOS

Rationale: While Android has excellent Tor clients like Invisible Pro, iOS lacks good Tor clients that support bridges. Official Tor iOS apps have limitations with bridge support due to iOS memory constraints. However, bridges are crucial for connecting to Tor when using SIM card ISPs, as direct connections are often blocked. Adding upstream proxy support would make this even more powerful for users who need both privacy and account stability.

Technical Consideration: Since Sing-box can be compiled with Tor core support, integrating this into Hiddify would create an all-in-one solution for iOS users who need:

· Proxy management
· Private Tor access with bridge capabilities
· Static IP consistency for both regular and Tor traffic

Summary

Adding these features would make Hiddify an even more comprehensive privacy tool, especially for:

· Users who need stable, static IPs to maintain account access across websites and services
· iOS users who currently have limited options for advanced proxy chaining and Tor access with bridge support
· Privacy-conscious users who want Tor's anonymity but need to present a consistent IP to avoid bot detection.
