I run Firefox and a handful of other programs with poor security track records with the privileges required to access my mail, so I don't worry too much about a (jailed) Tor process with access to PF. > Are you successful using make and pkg_add FreeBSD equivalent to update > or build ports via tor using this TransPort feature, even when fetching > ftp files? I don't update my ports through Tor, I use OpenSSH for the HTTP traffic (mainly because I can) and direct connections for ftp (I haven't looked into how to tunnel it properly yet). I believe the main problem with ftp through Tor is that the number of suitable exit relays is limited. I don't think it's a TransPort problem and I'm somewhat sure that I successfully tested ftp through the TransPort in the past. Fabian
