most of these were horrible; some were outright broken (e.g. trivial proxy bypass vulns)

some years back i helped write a proposal for an easy to use Tor enforcing router; this would rely on a "Tor Director" application to make setup and administration easy and idiomatic for the platform users were accustomed to.

main drawback with this approach is bespoke manufacture; it would be interesting to revisit this approach with rpi4 or other plentiful commodity platform.

last but not least, the entire concept of "transparent Tor proxy" is flawed; you must have application level protections against de-anonymization attacks! (die in a fire, anonabox :)

i can't seem to find a mirror of the old proposal. see attached instead...

best regards,
