Any and ALL suggests a machine that allows only HTTP/S activity to/from
a TOR process; to/from a TOR entry node; all other traffic (e.g. UDP
from some sneaky plugin) is blocked.
An iptables script or Windows firewall could do that. Presumably a
second script would be invoked for normal operation.
Alternatively, VMs dedicated to TOR applications could achieve your
goal, plus protect your box if something grabs your e.g. browser and
tries to sniff around.
