Comment:

 We're [https://phabricator.whonix.org/T192 wondering] on how one would
 still be able to use Tor Browser behind a Transparent/Isolating Proxy,
 Whonix, without Tor over Tor then.

 While you're at this, could you please add support for connecting to an
 already, previously existing unix domain socket file? Such as an
 environment variable `export TOR_PRE_EXIST_UNIX_SOCKET=/path/to/socket`
 (or so)? (The creation of that socket would be up to the user of such an
 `TOR_PRE_EXIST_UNIX_SOCKET` environment variable.)

 (We could then use `socat` to create the socket and to forward it to
 another IP/port where Tor is listening.)
