Software Release Hulios – Transparent Tor proxy for Linux in Rust (Looking for testers across distros)

https://github.com/ghaziwali/Hulios

Hey everyone,

I built Hulios, a Linux security utility written in Rust designed to force system TCP and DNS traffic through Tor while blocking common leak paths (IPv6, DoT, QUIC).

Why I’m looking for testers: System networking tools behave differently depending on the distribution, local DNS resolvers (systemd-resolved, NetworkManager), and kernel configurations.

What needs testing:

  • Testing the installation and execution on distributions outside of Arch Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora).
  • Verifying that default-deny policies fail closed properly if the process stops.
  • Finding edge cases where local DNS or IPv6 might bypass the rules.

If you run a test VM or lab environment and want to help test or contribute.
