You want a transparent tor proxy, which you setup with freebsd and pf.
Thanks much for the help. If my modest Python script used to download
some web pages goes through Tor, is there a way for the remote web
server to somehow trace this connection back to me?
no
Can you elaborate? After compiling the Ports, a "_tor" user is
created. I could successfully launch Tor by "su - _tor".
If you want it to work as I've described, as a transparent proxy, you'll
need to follow all the steps I've detailed.
Yes, of course you can su - _tor
The given start stop method is
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/tor start
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/tor stop
The way I've described, the machine becomes a transparent tor proxy for
all machines that use it as their default gateway and dns servers.
This has a huge advantage in that the client machines are un-trickable.
You don't have to figure out how to "proxify" anything.
You cannot misconfigure their network / proxy settings. Everything uses
the network exactly as it always does.
If they have no direct access to the internet, they cannot be forced to
reveal your real IP.
