@nemo I somewhat blindly voted #Proxychains despite abandoning it years ago. The recent #Torsocks version breaks Postfix and never worked on Java apps. So I should probably retry proxychains. When I tried proxychains many years ago it worked on nothing. But I should try it again.

My top choice is actually to use #Firejail with the --net option pointing to a Tor middlebox (which is not a separate box but just a config that yields a virtual eth0 replacement device).

https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/torsocks/-/issues/11579

You could create issues on their GitLab project.

I'm curious, tell me more. How does it work, what is its structure, and which operating systems are in use πŸ€”

@nemo I’m not sure if the signal-cli bug is the same as the Postfix one. The 2nd bug report indeed covers the java problem.

There may be fresher ways to setup a Tor middlebox on linux than what I did. My notes reference these guides and scripts:
