Imho it's very improbable, that a significant amount of people will be able to do it that way. It's also complicated and error prone (human mistakes). I am working on an anonymous operating system (TorBOX [1]) and made a modification to torsocks, called uwt [2]. Using uwt breaks down to "sudo ip=127.0.0.1 port=9053 uwt apt-get update" or "ip=127.0.0.1 port=9054 uwt gpg". It's also possible to create wrapper scripts, which do that in an automated way. (Documented under [2].) It's only a hack and a clean solution is much desirable. Feature request: I don't know how much effort it were or how much time you still like to spend on privoxy... Could you add a feature? - privoxy may provide multiple (http) listen ports - each (http) listen port may be forwarded to a different parent proxy ip/port [1] https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorBOX [2] https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/torsocks ______________________________________________________ powered by Secure-Mail.biz - anonymous and secure e-mail accounts. _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
