How to Use a Tor Proxy with ColdEmailingJet

by

ColdEmailingJet is a powerful tool for managing your cold email campaigns efficiently. Integrating a Tor proxy with ColdEmailingJet can add an extra layer of privacy and anonymity by routing your email traffic through Tor’s secure network. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to set up and use a Tor proxy with ColdEmailingJet.

Why Use a Tor Proxy?

Using a Tor proxy in your cold emailing campaigns can:

  • Mask your IP address, enhancing your privacy.
  • Bypass certain network restrictions.
  • Reduce the risk of being flagged for suspicious activity.

Step 1: Start tor.exe

The first step is to ensure that Tor is running on your system. If you don’t already have it installed, you can download the tor.exe here

Once downloaded:

  1. Unzip to a folder
  2. Run tor.exe by double-clicking it or executing it in the command line.

This starts the Tor service, which listens on 127.0.0.1:9050 for SOCKS5 proxy connections.

Step 2: Configure Your Proxy in ColdEmailingJet

To use the Tor proxy, you need to add its settings to your proxy configuration file.

  1. Open your proxy text file (e.g., proxies.txt) in a text editor.
  2. Add the following line to the file: socks5://127.0.0.1:9050 This tells ColdEmailingJet to use the Tor proxy for routing email traffic.
  3. Save and close the file.

Step 3: Adjust the Thread Count

When using a Tor proxy, it’s crucial to keep the thread count low to avoid overloading the Tor network. We recommend setting the thread count to 5 or fewer for optimal performance.

  • Navigate to the camp settings in ColdEmailingJet.
  • Locate the “Thread Count” option.
  • Set the value to 5 or less.

This ensures smooth operation and reduces the risk of connection drops or interruptions.

Best Practices

  • Regularly Update Tor: Ensure your Tor installation is up-to-date for the latest security patches and network improvements.
  • Use Rotating Proxies: For additional privacy, consider using multiple Tor exit nodes by restarting the Tor service periodically.
  • Monitor Performance: Tor is slower than direct connections, so monitor campaign performance and adjust settings as needed.

By following these steps, you can effectively integrate Tor’s proxy capabilities into your ColdEmailingJet workflow, enhancing privacy and maintaining your email campaign’s integrity.
