Start the Anyone Client

Running the Anyone Client

To run the Anyone client using the CLI, use the following command:

npx anyone-client

This command will start the client with default port settings.

Default Port Settings

When run without any options, the Anyone Client uses the following default ports:

• SocksPort: 9050

• ControlPort: 9051

• OrPort: 9001

CLI Options

You can customize the client's behavior using various command-line options:

Option	Description	Default
-s	Set the SocksPort	9050
-c	Set the ControlPort (use 0 to disable)	9051
-o	Set the OrPort	9001
-v	Enable verbose mode for full client logs	Disabled
-f	Set the path to a custom anonrc config file	None
-b	Set the path to a custom anon binary	None

Example Usage

Here's an example of how to use these options:

npx anyone-client -s 9150 -c 0 -o 9101 -f ./customAnonrc -b /usr/local/bin/anon -v

This command will:

• Set the SocksPort to 9150

• Disable the ControlPort

• Set the OrPort to 9101

• Use a custom anonrc file located at './customAnonrc'

• Use a custom anon binary located at '/usr/local/bin/anon'

• Enable verbose mode

Important Notes

1. When changing ports, ensure they don't conflict with other services on your system.

2. The -b option allows you to use a preinstalled anon binary instead of the one that comes with the package.

Terms and Agreements

To bypass the user agreement automatically, you can create a file named 'terms-agreement' in the working directory. This file should contain the line 'agreed' to be considered valid.
