I was experimenting with tor today as there was a article in a old linux magazine i found...
Eventhough it works fine with firefox using the torbutton addon i was wondering if there would be a way to route all internet traffic like ftp & other things through tor aswell or just port 80 using firefox.
Does anyone know ? or have a alternative that would do the job ... just for the fun of experimenting offcourse.

AFAIK, tor is a socks proxy, so it should work for any kind of connection.

Tor does not handle udp, icmp traffic. Other than that it should be able to run any tcp traffic, i suppose.

i have got to admit that i am not that up to speed with tor and other network tools... but with the tor client running or disabled my wan ip remains the same.
Only if i activate tor from firefox does my wan ip change and even then a tracerout run i a sperate terminal doesn't change from when tor was not active.
So either i am doing something wrong or tor isn't working the way it should :-)
Not that important though... i was just messing about.

Each client (browser, chat, mail program etc.) needs to be configured to use tor individually. Tor doesn't take over the full network, rather it runs as a seperate network / socks proxy.
You need to configure your application to use the socks proxy to be able to route its traffic through tor.

thought so already.... it would have been cool to get that done... damm shame :-)
