# ephemeralConfiguredForTor(socksEndpoint:) Build an ephemeral `URLSessionConfiguration` that routes every HTTP/HTTPS request through a SOCKS5 proxy. ``` static func ephemeralConfiguredForTor(socksEndpoint endpoint: HostPort) -> URLSessionConfiguration ``` ## Parameters `endpoint` SOCKS5 proxy endpoint, typically [`socksEndpoint`](/documentation/Tor/TorClient/socksEndpoint). ## Return Value An ephemeral configuration with the SOCKS5 proxy installed. ## Discussion Starts from `URLSessionConfiguration.ephemeral` (no disk persistence of cookies, caches, or credentials) and installs the same SOCKS5 proxy dictionary as [`configuredForTor(socksEndpoint:)`](/documentation/Tor/Foundation/URLSessionConfiguration/configuredForTor(socksEndpoint:)). Preferred for one-shot or privacy-sensitive traffic where session state should not survive process exit. > Note: Ephemeral sessions still share Apple’s in-memory URL > cache for the process lifetime; subsequent requests for the > same URL may short-circuit. Set `config.urlCache = nil` if > strict no-cache behaviour is required.
