It's disabled because there's no Windows transparent proxy implementation in Tor. That's likely because Windows has no OS support for transparent proxies. > If we keep the tor.exe of both the browser bundle and expert bundles synced I think it would be easier for users who would like to use Tor both as a browser as well as a Transparent Proxy . You might be looking for VirtualAddrNetworkIPv4 or VirtualAddrNetworkIPv6, which is a non-transparent proxy, as it requires the network's IP addresses to be reconfigured. Alternately, some combination of DNSPort and SOCKSPort is another non-transparent proxy option for applications with SOCKS proxy support. Oh, and please don't cross-post to multiple lists. Answering on tor-dev and tor-talk so people know the question has been answered.
