Route Application Data to Tor Hidden Service
I've purchased a file sharing sharing utility that connects to a server using the server's hostname and/or IP (intentionally not FTP). In order to make the system as secure as possible, I decided to run the server through a Tor hidden service.
The problem is that the client does not support .onion hostnames, so I was wondering if there's any way to route the application traffic to the hidden service. This must be all in Windows by the way.
What I thought so far:
On the client, set the server host to the .onion address on port A.
Add an entry to the hosts file to have the .onion address point to 127.0.0.1.
Have some sort of software listen to 127.0.0.1 on port A and route the incoming traffic (using the SOCKS5 proxy provided by Tor) to the real .onion address on port B.
On the server, set up the server instance on port C and configure a tor hidden service to route incoming traffic from the .onion address on port B to 127.0.0.1 on port C.
I'm stuck at step 3, I can't seem to find something that does this.
