Is this possible to provide command line arguments for TOR Expert Bundle?

Question

I've downloaded TOR expert bundle from an archive from this directory (exact download link I used). When I run the tor.exe, this is what I get in cmd:

Jul 21 09:11:11.941 [notice] Tor 0.4.5.9 (git-d0ed04d50e80fe1c) running on Windows 8 [or later] with Libevent 2.1.12-stable, OpenSSL 1.1.1k, Zlib 1.2.11, Liblzma N/A, Libzstd N/A and Unknown N/A as libc.

Jul 21 09:11:12.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 5% (conn): Connecting to a relay

The executable seems to work fine, but I cannot connect to TOR relay due to my country's restrictions. It gets stuck on 5% forever. I suppose, I could use a proxy server to connect to a relay, yet I don't know which command I should use.

Where can I find a list of TOR startup commands I could use to configure the client?

Since I can see a couple of problems here, for example

Jul 21 09:11:11.956 [warn] Path for GeoIPFile (<default>) is relative and will resolve to <...>. Is this what you wanted?

since it's actually not what I wanted, because it doesn't specify the correct location by default.

What I mean by commands is, take for example the Google Chrome browser (or anything Chromium-based). We could use

chrome.exe --profile-directory="Profile X" --headless --disable-gpu --window-size 322,322

to start Google Chrome session with such and such profile, run it headless with window size 322 by 322 and so on.

What I'd like to do is basically:

tor.exe --proxy "<protocol>://<host>:<port>" --geoipfile-path "<path-to-geoipfile>"

Answer 1

Used tor.exe --help, which said to See man page for options, where man meant short for manual, lol. Google helped me out, I've found the link:

https://2019.www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en

I'm using TOR's stem for python, so what I ended up with is:

tor_process = launch_tor_with_config(
    tor_cmd="tor.exe",
    config={
        "HTTPSProxy": "<proxy_host>:<proxy_port>"
    }
)

You can also use socks4 and socks5 proxies, too. config={"Socks4Proxy": "<proxy_host>:<proxy_port>"} and config={"Socks5Proxy": "<proxy_host>:<proxy_port>"}.

Still don't know how to use it from command line, though.
