From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

back when I used ubuntu derivatives I used privoxy and edited the config file to route all my traffic through tor.

I just did the same on debian 12.6 and wonder if there's a better alternative.

You point your main active network interface gateway to a tor gateway or proxy.

Am I doing that editing the privoxy config file with this line?

'forward-socks5t / 127.0.0.1:9050 .'

I now set up tor for firefox manually using https://www.wikihow.com/Use-Tor-with-Firefox. If the edited privoxy cofig file is the right way to go, didn't I just double torify?
