Comment:
Agreed that doing it at the Tor level isn't the best idea: most of Tor
doesn't actually need root, so adding more pieces that do would probably
be a bad idea for security.
But instead of baking this into Tor, maybe we could just ship scripts that
show you how to do it right on different platforms. They'd require root,
but at least they'd work, and show you how to do it.
Scripts like this would also make it easier for us to test that our
transparent proxy support was actually working, and help us avoid
embarrassing bugs like #18100 .
If anybody's interested in writing something like this, please feel free
to work one platform at a time.
