I know there's at least one Windows solution that acts a little like tsocks, but I haven't used any myself. SocksCap looks as though it might do what you want, but I'm not sure it's the very best. > When the Tor server is setup, is it supose to be a Directory Server > or an Onion Router? You should probably run an onion router if you want to be a server; I'll try to clarify this in the documentation. If you just want to run a client yourself, you don't need to set ORport at all. > Is the Onion Router a SOCKS proxy, a modified SOCKS proxy to support > the Tor feature set, or something completely different? Tor runs as a superset of socks4 and socks4a, and implements some (but not all) of socks5. To see what parts of socks tor supports, see http://freehaven.net/tor/cvs/doc/socks-extensions.txt Hope this helps, -- Nick Mathewson (PGP key changed on 15Aug2004; see http://wangafu.net/key.txt)
