What about instead of asking people to use the SOCKS interface, all TCP and DNS connections are automatically routed using iptables to Tor, allowing Tor to be used transparently? For such setup, I suspect it make sense for Tor to only listed on 127.0.0.1 I guess it should be an option in the Plinth interface. I believe there are recipes on how to do this floating on the web (I believe I saw one a year or so ago), but did not have time to track it down right now. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
